I still hold firm to the feeling I felt all those years ago when I first seen the X6; it's drop dead gorgeous and I'd love to own one. Honestly, when I first heard all of the hate towards the X6, I was quite surprised to hear it. Yes, it's not as practical as it could be, but I feel most other common complaints are subjective. All in all, if I was in the market for one, I would more than likely pick up a new X6. Especially the X6 M.
There is no car that gets so much hate as the X6 and there is no phone that gets as much hate as the iPhone, especially iPhone 6 Plus. Imagine sitting in a traffic jam in your X6 with an iPhone 6 Plus in your hand, people will go absolutely bat shit. I want to be that guy so I'm thinking about buying both of them.
in the video clip you say the vast majority of people will hate the X6.......you are absolutely correct. but it's that vast majority who can't afford it and simply hate it out of jealousy. I purchased a new X6 40d and since then I've come across so many jealous drivers trying to race tail gate or never letting me out of a side road. if knew the 40d would have upset the haters I would have purchased the 50d .....which I'm happy to say is now on order !!!!!! Haters will always hate.
I can't afford a Camry, therefore I hate it. I can't afford a Porsche 911 (I love it), but I hate it, because i can't afford it. Idiots will always be idiots.
I used to own a 2008 X6 and I loved every single thing about it, so I got a new 2013 one and its awesome!! great car, great fun.and I hope to buy the new one soon :) btw don't really care what other people think whatsoever; I LOVE IT!
You hit the nail on point, this car does look stunning in person. However, many people feel it is a compromise due to lack of cargo volume and minimal off-road capabilty compared to other SUV in its class.
Number 2. Yes I just purchased my second one. My first one was a 2009 and just two days ago I got a 2017 that was a clearance model. 15 k below msrp. Oh my what an upgrade. I love this car.
X6 owner here. I wanted a sports car in the beginning. But then I realized here in Canada I really need a car with decent ground clearance in winter. So I bought a SUV with some sporty style, so called SAV by bmw.

The BMW X6 is an awesome ride. The reason why it is still around after its' launch in 2008 is because people simply love this SAV. I am a proud owner of a BMW X6 35i. It handles very well for a large vehicle. The head room in the back is adequate. I have not seen anyone have issues getting in my back seat. There is plenty of leg room for someone of average height. It is a perfect vehicle for me because I don't carry passengers often and I wanted a vehicle that did not have the the typical sluggish SUV feel. Like other BMWs I have driven, it is fast and the steering is responsive. I think most people love the look of this car.
I think this is a perfect car for someone who lives in an area with shitty roads, but wants to drive something sporty, and in my opinion it looks astonishing!
Always liked the X6. Everyone is all very quick to conform and get on board with whatever is "trending" on social media and whatever "cause" is current.
I've loved the design since day one, but I couldn't afford one back then. Now I finally can and I will pick mine up next week. Not the M50d, but the 40d which is enough for me and fits my budget. I don't care what people think about me or my car. I know I'm good people and getting a X6 is not changing that. It's my dream car and I can afford it, simple as that. I just don't get why people must hate it. There's plenty of more expensive and more unpractical cars out there (like every supercar fx), but I guess the X6 strikes a bad chord with some people. Haters are sad, sad people...
I just recently picked up a 2012 X6M and it is amazing driver's car. It is very fast, handles extremely well for its size and practical enough for someone with 2 kids.
The more people hate this car, the more I like it. I am not sure I understand the undying attraction to the standard SUV look, but it's not for me. The X6 is different and that's a good thing.
I never understood why the X6 has always been so universally disliked. When first saw the x6 I thought it looked like Batman's Tumbler Batmobile. And when I drove it for the first time I felt like it was too, only the whole interior was wrapped in supple leather with contrast stitching. It handled like a smaller car with little body roll, but cruised quietly and smoothly on the highway like a big luxury sedan. The coupe roofline was always pleasing to me, and the small number on the road added to the exclusivity, with sales about equal to that of the 6 series Gran Coupe. I got compliments everywhere I drove it. And nobody ever asked me what the point was. If they did, I would tell them that my personal preference was towards the X6 over the X5 based on looks, which were and still are very pleasing to me. I think this new model is absolutely gorgeous. Lastly, only bought cars on the basis of dollar value and practicality, everyone would buy an A6 over an A7, or a 5 Series over a 6 Series Gran Coupe, etc. Bottom line is, sometimes people want to spend a few extra grand for a car that looks the way they want it to, and you shouldn't be passing judgement on their taste because of that! By the way, my 2010 x6 blew its fuel pump and needed a full transmission replacement after less than 2 years of driving. It's gone now. But still, GO ONLINE AND BUILD AN XLINE WITH THE 20" BLACK RIMS AND TELL ME YOU DON'T WANT ONE! haha!
Absolutely love my 13' X6 x-drive vehicle. A fun drive, and stylish. Everywhere I go people stop me to compliment my car and ask me tons of questions about it. I think it's gorgeous and absolutely fits my personality. I had my 08' 650i first and still to this day I get compliments on it too! I love BMW! I get it, people in London hate it! Drove a Range Rover too and wasn't impressed. Its a nice car, but boring...
I think the X6 is very much aimed at people who do care about what other people think. They're just also the kind of people who don't actually know what other people think. They think everyone has taste as bad as them.
I don't care what people think, I'm different and I'd have an X6 without hesitation. Lovely looking car...different and has individuality written all over it. Bit pricey though
i dont care what anyone says the x6 was and is an extremely beautiful car and no other suv except the cayenne cant match the driving experience it offers and thou the range is a great car ive never heard a british person speak a speck of negative of it and they are always biased towards the range rover
daniel blake No offense, I own a x6 myself, the e71. But BMW really needs to step up their game in exterior design. For the previous generation, the back looks bold and aggressive but the front looks weak and now this new generation the back looks weak as hell but the front looks bold and aggressive. WTF BMW, they should had improve the front and leave the back as it is.
Despite what everyone thinks about X6 and it's looks, the enormous success of it has forced all other manufacturers to start make a SUV coupe. BMW has had all the market for this niche product for themselves and are making a tone of money off it. I guess it's like the Nissan Juke. Everybody think it's ugly but Nissan still sells a lot of them.
They sell a lot of them and they put forward the idea that SUV Coupes can sell. Doesn't mean it's a good idea. It's a sloping mess of unnecessary German tech based on another piece of unnecessary German tech. SUV's are really one of the most pointless things being built today, and everyone thinks they need one.
Awesome car, I absolutely love it. This is not supposed to be a beautiful car but its a very appealing car "the beast" and it has presents. Love it or hate it its here to stay.
Hey one more thing before I get into my X6 50d.........do you think if the X6 is so bad would Mercedes would have ripped off the X6 design? The GLE Coupe was designed by Mercedes using tracing paper.
Well, let me put it this way: I have an E53 (1st gen) BMW X5. It's got 460L of trunk space. The new X6, has 585L. This makes it 225L more than a 1st gen X5, and it still has more than the E70 (2008-2013) BMW X5. The trunk is *BIG*.
I swear I don't understand why so many people unlike the looks of the x6 (I do understand the tons of people who do), I think it's so innovative, classy and sporty that the "small lack" of practicality they offer (compared to the x5) doesn't exactly matter... Of course it would never be the logical option for a family, but so wouldn't most cars that petrol heads like! So, yes, the x6 is an astonishing car from most angles and it's a hell of a BMW, a true driver's car!
The BMW X6 is gorgeous. If you just look at it for it's merits. It's powerful, agile, fast, can tow, has a big comfortable seats, it's absolutely loaded with tech, it's AWD. There's really nothing not to like. People can go on all day comparing it to other cars but it stands on it's own very well. If you don't like it don't buy it. The people that own the X6s enjoy them why be so adamant that they should buy what you like? The only "idiot" is the person that let's other people make his choices.
This is a beautiful car and the sales statistics prove it. Its like people calling angelina jolie not pretty these days, it's popular to hate on success. Just admit it is beautiful with the BEST available diesel engine; ever.
sales statistics prove that many people dont know what the fuck a beautiful car looks like. good diesel engine yes but hurr durr you can get that engine in X5 and 5series also. that doessnt make the x6 look less shit
***** tri-turbo, more torque to lift your ugly moms saggy face, oh and also the best reliability score of diesels between 2500cc and 3000cc. By the way I don't know why you became racist...no matter how much of a troll you are, being racist aint cool.
***** man you guys are really so unaware of anything..bmw sold 300,000 of the x6 in the middle of the worst economic crisis since 80 years...300,000 when half the world had no money...go think of that and find something to cry and bitch about AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
I still cannot understand why you just can't accept that selling 300,000 of an expensive premium car in the middle of an economic crisis is success..I will make it easier for you, mercedes has confirmed its rival, audi's has been spotted testing..
Lol the comments in here are priceless. Remember, bmw is selling more models then ever before in the history of the company. Think this is ugly, look at the bloody 2 series.
MY father used to have one of these a couple years back. an older model, 2011. funny that he now has a 2016 range rover sport, but almost everyday he says he misses the way the X6 drove. My life goal is to be succesful and to buy him an X6, no matter what other think or thought. I loved the car, he loved it, and it is my goal.
Davian Cela i have the same goal to My dad had a 2009 volvo xc90 he really missed it when he sold it in 2013 and bought a bmw x1 He missed it cos volvo is his favorite make and it was a huge car but back then we werent as rich so maintenence was a lot cos it kept on having minor problems and there was only 3 of us me my mum and my dad so there was no point in having such a huge car and it also consumed a lot of fuel so im going to try buy him the same car
Alex already makes a mistake at the beginning of the film. If you're going to drive this, i'm sure you'll get confused because it's obviously pretty good to drive. Simply observing owners of these was enough.
BMW X6 is not a bad car.Not even remotely.The looks may not be for everyone but that's it. Car and non-car people both rain hate on it because that's what everyone does,not because it deserves.You know that's the truth
Yes. Very much so. You even know the price although you can't afford one. Ever since I bought this car I've noticed one thing.......the guy driving the worst car on the road always seems to have the most to say about everyone else's car except his own. The haters of the world can't hide their green eyes when they see an X6. And to be honest I got a bit concerned how jealous drivers never gave way at junctions or deliberately cut me up and the tailgaters on the motorway trying to make me move out of their way just so they can get two inches in front. So concerned in fact that I sold my beautiful X6 40d and bought an X6 50d. People as yourself still have perfect green eye that will never change. But the tailgaters are a very small dot in my rear view mirror. See ya!
Quix may be that's your experience. I've just bought the new shape X6 50d. I did 50k miles in the other one and only once did I changed a full set of tyres.
It’s the damn hood... lol I swear I was torn between the two. Until I decided I didn’t want the old I drive anymore... but still want that hood on this one.
I don't buy a car for back seat passengers, get a taxi or buy your own car, boot size is a individual factor long as it can take a buggy, few boxes and my shopping and the seats fold down I'm good. Looking to get a 50D one day with many features as possible.
I really like the X6 and love the X6M. The stylings is sweet and performance is great with handling. Ones who hate this are crazy? If you want a SUV get the X5 for it's size and shape plus function with more of the drivetrain of the X6. The X6 is based off the 6 Series Coupes. For driving than styling in the Range Rover. I'm a Driver and prefer the X6M for Me.
Maybe it's for people who want coupe styling with the stance and commanding view of an SUV. Why does a car have to be so practical that it requires a 2-box silhouette? To many, it's about how they look and feel while driving the car. Much like the Miata MX-5, VW CC and Mercedes-Benz CLS aren't very practical in their seating capacities, neither is this concoction of a vehicle very practical. As we all know most car purchases are emotional purchases and not practical ones, otherwise we would all drive mini-vans. I say if you want an ugly car and have the money, then by golly, buy yourself one.
I think it's more that car enthusiasts don't understand what the point of coupe-SUVs is. If you want a small, fun car, maybe you shouldn't be getting an SUV in the first place. If you want something that is tall and practical, why are you getting a coupe-like thing? It is an ugly, middle-ground contradiction and a lot of people don't understand it. Like you said, it's kind of a niche thing for people with very specific wants. But it's also seen as a silly fad and will continue to get hated on a lot.
This thing is so ugly. My buddy had an X6M and caught sense after a few years and sold it and got an ML63 AMG. This makes no sense, uglier than an X5, more expensive than an X5 and less practical than an X5.
venom5809 are you in love with him or something? go boast about your own credentials..if you have some..hahha trying to pose with his imaginary friend's car hahha
I thought the X5 was the best looking in the class until the latest body style; I don't like it! Now, I actually think the ML looks better than both the X5 and the X6, but personally I think the Cayenne Turbo beats them all.
***** The Cayenne Turbo is an awesome performer, and its better looking in my opinion. I've driven the X6M; it feels great, but I think its unattractive.
Surely the problem is in the logic of wanting to combine the bulk of an X5 with the practicality of a 4-Series. Any sane person can see that's backwards. The 5-Series Touring gets it the right way round.
2013-2014 x6 are much more beautiful cars inside and out. Minus the speedometer and heads up display otherwise the 2015+ X6 look atrocious. (Currently on a 24 hour test drive thinking it could potentially be better than my 2014 all black with side skirts) for me personally, I also love how the 2013-2014 has that heavy stiff feeling when you drive. I’m sure others don’t but that’s my preference. I get a lot more looks in my 2013 than the 2015.
when the x6 First came out I was a little bit iffy about it but as the years go on its grown on me. Oves I don't on what its like to drive cos I am 17 and I haven't dun my test yet . personally I really like the x6 its a car that stands out of the crowd and its different
Most people are going to watch this video because they love this car. But why do u have a reviewer with so much dislike to review this car for us to watch?
It’s funny that 90% of the BMW X6 dislikers are all English.. clearly for them it’s more about promoting the Range Rover.. I’m neither a British nor German and I have driven and owned both the Range Rover sport and the BMW X6.. in my opinion, the BMW X6 is far more fun to drive, better engine power and more reliable.. the Range Rover sport has the looks and class also but feels nowhere as good as the x6.. only people that appreciate the x6 are the ones who’ve either been in it or driven it.. I loved it so much that I bought the 2019 which I own now and is a gem in the car world.
Commenting on how this car has less space and is less practical than an X5 assumes that blind people buy it - I saw how it looked, liked that it wasn’t a box of empty space like an X5 and decided to buy it FOR THAT REASON. I challenge reviewers to include in their X5 reviews that although it is practical, it’s cavernous capacity will go largely unused and it compromises on styling unlike the X6. 😌
I love it, although I'd probably go for the petrol engine and I think the SE trim looks better than the M Sport on the X6. People are very quick to judge one another based on their preconceptions, as Alex says. To hell with it; drive what you want and what makes you feel good.
X6 is the only BIG car i would choose to buy, the X5 may be more practical but its an ugly square box. As i rarely have rear passengers or much in the boot the X6 is the perfect choice
This guy gets it! Sloping rooflines are what people WANT! A5, A7, 6 series, CLS, CLA, X6, XJ. People love coupes, pseudo coupes, GTs, fastbacks etc. Big cars not dink dink toys. New A9 coupe, new S coupe, new 850M coupe. So....... here you have the X6. A big car, tick, power, tick. Coupe lines, tick. Claustrophobic ensconssed feel, tick. 4 seats is more than sufficient even for the avage family, if needed. And ofcourse if you buy the X6M you have M4 performance and feel without the impracticalities. I personally know the X5M is a better car, but i wont buy i one. Ill be getting a X6M. I want to feel caccooned inside. I dont want the open boxxy pedestrian feel of a shopping trolley that the X5 gives.
I've just got one it's great my range rover sport keep breaking. down the hight keep playing up codes. nearly every week so let see if my X6 is any good
Jimmy Reynolds, you do realize Mansa Musa was the leader of an empire, and the richest person ever to live, right? Anyways, the X6 sucks, it sucks on road and can't go offroading for shit.
Had a few hours behind the wheel of an X6M with the 4.4L turbo V8. Insane speeds and accelleration, really classy interior, but the handling wasn't really matching its M badge.
I really don't take these reviews serious coming from this guy because he is or proclaims to be absolutely in love with every car he drives. It seems he is incapable of not liking a car because every car he reviews is described as a beautiful masterpiece or work of art.
I don't want i8-drivers for dinner, so smug they are that they drive a green sportscar. X6-people, yes, i want them, they have stories, they're cool, relaxed, don't give a fuck what others think of them and they dont' think black-white, they don't care for the rules, they only care for the codes, like Dominic Toretto. They're petrolheads. Those with hybrid gismo-laptops are not. THey're nerdy digi-tech lovers who keep rambling about all kinds of copmlicated palava no ordinary man, or woman, understands. X6 people are down to earth. They're the best. Haters gonna hate!
appelpower1 WELL THIS IS ABOUT CARS!! not about psychology class. So people need to shut up about hair dressers, pimps, footballers, tattoos, drug dealers and all the other prejudice. Only to elevate themselves and their inseucre like, or just so they can bash a car! Because no one has real arguments against this badass vehicle. i'ts petulant and childish!!
Firemarioflower Except you just spewed out a whole paragraph on what people are like based on ownership of an i8 or an X6. This renders your entire argument completely hypocritical, or it renders mine correct.
How can he say that Range Rover Lego design is better than the Bmw Beast?? I think that people choose cars like they choose dogs, it has to look like you, so if you are borring you drive a borring car..
As an X6 40D owner, my opinion is biased. However to all those other people with such passionate negative opinions, you really have to ask yourself, why do you care so much.
What does the title mean? Yes there is a big hype about it but what does that mean "dont belive the hype" ? That the hype is much bigger than the most think or what does it mean?
people like this car because it drives like a suv feel like a suv and look better than a normal suv. maybe ist a Little unpractical but the People doun´t care . they love the Coupé style and have the monney :D
It is so impressive the differences in tastes people in the UK and Mexico have. Here in Mexico, it is complete the opposite of what I have heard since the X6 was introduced. It is a SUV ( CUV or what ever BMW wants to call it) that people aspire to have and that people relate to success. I bought a 35i for my wife and she absolutely adores it. Her friends tell her she is so lucky to have this car and they all want to have a ride in it. At the valet the X6 is parked right outside the restaurant with other much expensive cars (probably because of the menacing and aggressive look to it people adore it so much in Mexico. I think this new version has lost that design edge mine has, it is less bold and more digestible to look at. Maybe because it has gone more bland people are not going to want it as they used to, because it attracts less attention. They will probably and surely want right now a Porsche Macan, fashion statement in mi city, or a Range Rover for the elegance and status it imposes. What ever it is, BMW currently knows how to assemble excellent cars that perform so well in all situation like traffic or a twisty road, surely thats why I currently own 5 and I an married to the brand.
The X6 is the European equivalent to the American Hummer H2. - It's to childish, to unconventional, and it dosn't make any sense. But that's what’s good about it. It's a car that doesn’t try to appeal to everyone. It appeals to the person, who is still in contact with their inner child. It’s a toy, more than a car.
I still hold firm to the feeling I felt all those years ago when I first seen the X6; it's drop dead gorgeous and I'd love to own one. Honestly, when I first heard all of the hate towards the X6, I was quite surprised to hear it. Yes, it's not as practical as it could be, but I feel most other common complaints are subjective.

It's one of the ugliest cars around!
Not even a minute in and the sarcasm was whipped out.
As I should expect Alex.

How was the reliability?
It was fine. No issues at all. I had it from 26k miles to about 60k
best looking suv in the market. love it
The more people hate this car, the more I like it. I am not sure I understand the undying attraction to the standard SUV look, but it's not for me. The X6 is different and that's a good thing.

But still, GO ONLINE AND BUILD AN XLINE WITH THE 20" BLACK RIMS AND TELL ME YOU DON'T WANT ONE! haha!

I think it's gorgeous and absolutely fits my personality. I had my 08' 650i first and still to this day I get compliments on it too! I love BMW! I get it, people in London hate it! Drove a Range Rover too and wasn't impressed. Its a nice car, but boring...
I think the X6 is very much aimed at people who do care about what other people think. They're just also the kind of people who don't actually know what other people think. They think everyone has taste as bad as them.
Never thought of it that way, but I do now LOL
***** Because you're a Bimmer fanboy, we all know that.
not everyone, just the ones that matter for them...
its the perfect car for a soccer mom or a family guy
filthy individual Upper middle class soccer mom or family guy lol. Look at the prices.
Why are we so worried about what people think about us? If you like the X6, buy the X6. I know if I had the money I would.
I don't like BMW much tbh, but I love the X6 I mean look at it, it a beast
I don't care what people think, I'm different and I'd have an X6 without hesitation. Lovely looking car...different and has individuality written all over it. Bit pricey though
i dont care what anyone says the x6 was and is an extremely beautiful car and no other suv except the cayenne cant match the driving experience it offers and thou the range is a great car ive never heard a british person speak a speck of negative of it and they are always biased towards the range rover
daniel blake No offense, I own a x6 myself, the e71. But BMW really needs to step up their game in exterior design. For the previous generation, the back looks bold and aggressive but the front looks weak and now this new generation the back looks weak as hell but the front looks bold and aggressive. WTF BMW, they should had improve the front and leave the back as it is.
+Justin Carter well for me , I prefer the x6 over the x5 , especially in the back
+Justin Carter absolutely right. I owned the last generation and the mucked up the back with this one. I also thought the wheel wells were too big.
I like it
Despite what everyone thinks about X6 and it's looks, the enormous success of it has forced all other manufacturers to start make a SUV coupe. BMW has had all the market for this niche product for themselves and are making a tone of money off it. I guess it's like the Nissan Juke. Everybody think it's ugly but Nissan still sells a lot of them.
Thats true
They sell a lot of them and they put forward the idea that SUV Coupes can sell. Doesn't mean it's a good idea. It's a sloping mess of unnecessary German tech based on another piece of unnecessary German tech. SUV's are really one of the most pointless things being built today, and everyone thinks they need one.
No suv are the most important thing that yhey are building now because of the snow, dirt, rain and other stuff that mothenature car throw at u
You're thinking of 4x4s. There is a difference. SUVs are Soccer Mum cars that can't handle shit.
yeah ok but this suv is not a soccer mom car
Awesome car, I absolutely love it. This is not supposed to be a beautiful car but its a very appealing car "the beast" and it has presents. Love it or hate it its here to stay.
Hey one more thing before I get into my X6 50d.........do you think if the X6 is so bad would Mercedes would have ripped off the X6 design? The GLE Coupe was designed by Mercedes using tracing paper.
i think x6 is brilliant looking never would say its ugly
I haven't met a person that doesn't like the design of the X6 tbh ...
Well, let me put it this way: I have an E53 (1st gen) BMW X5. It's got 460L of trunk space. The new X6, has 585L. This makes it 225L more than a 1st gen X5, and it still has more than the E70 (2008-2013) BMW X5. The trunk is *BIG*.
I swear I don't understand why so many people unlike the looks of the x6 (I do understand the tons of people who do), I think it's so innovative, classy and sporty that the "small lack" of practicality they offer (compared to the x5) doesn't exactly matter...
Of course it would never be the logical option for a family, but so wouldn't most cars that petrol heads like!
So, yes, the x6 is an astonishing car from most angles and it's a hell of a BMW, a true driver's car!
4:02 "it lacks the classlessness..." is the same with "it has class"
lol
I don't like BMW's been an Audi fan. But if i had the money i would so buy this car it looks great!
***** Looks terrible, but love your channel! Subscribed!
The BMW X6 is gorgeous. If you just look at it for it's merits. It's powerful, agile, fast, can tow, has a big comfortable seats, it's absolutely loaded with tech, it's AWD. There's really nothing not to like. People can go on all day comparing it to other cars but it stands on it's own very well. If you don't like it don't buy it. The people that own the X6s enjoy them why be so adamant that they should buy what you like? The only "idiot" is the person that let's other people make his choices.
This is a beautiful car and the sales statistics prove it. Its like people calling angelina jolie not pretty these days, it's popular to hate on success. Just admit it is beautiful with the BEST available diesel engine; ever.
Logic of the iPhone generation.
sales statistics prove that many people dont know what the fuck a beautiful car looks like.
good diesel engine yes but hurr durr you can get that engine in X5 and 5series also. that doessnt make the x6 look less shit
***** tri-turbo, more torque to lift your ugly moms saggy face, oh and also the best reliability score of diesels between 2500cc and 3000cc. By the way I don't know why you became racist...no matter how much of a troll you are, being racist aint cool.
***** man you guys are really so unaware of anything..bmw sold 300,000 of the x6 in the middle of the worst economic crisis since 80 years...300,000 when half the world had no money...go think of that and find something to cry and bitch about AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
I still cannot understand why you just can't accept that selling 300,000 of an expensive premium car in the middle of an economic crisis is success..I will make it easier for you, mercedes has confirmed its rival, audi's has been spotted testing..
Lol the comments in here are priceless. Remember, bmw is selling more models then ever before in the history of the company. Think this is ugly, look at the bloody 2 series.
The 2 series is alright, the Active tourer and the i3 look horrible.
Panda
sorry I couldn't help myself
I KNEW IT!
MY father used to have one of these a couple years back. an older model, 2011. funny that he now has a 2016 range rover sport, but almost everyday he says he misses the way the X6 drove. My life goal is to be succesful and to buy him an X6, no matter what other think or thought. I loved the car, he loved it, and it is my goal.
Davian Cela you better work hard i wish you and your dad the best of luck!
Blekitnyhornet 112567 thanks bro, already got some plans
Davian Cela i have the same goal to
My dad had a 2009 volvo xc90 he really missed it when he sold it in 2013 and bought a bmw x1
He missed it cos volvo is his favorite make and it was a huge car but back then we werent as rich so maintenence was a lot cos it kept on having minor problems and there was only 3 of us me my mum and my dad so there was no point in having such a huge car and it also consumed a lot of fuel so im going to try buy him the same car
Blekitnyhornet 112567 good luck👍
Davian Cela thanks
Alex already makes a mistake at the beginning of the film. If you're going to drive this, i'm sure you'll get confused because it's obviously pretty good to drive. Simply observing owners of these was enough.
Well said...
"..everything you own says something about you.."
i Love BMW..
"we live in a world that everything we do stands for something" Well said. Awesome review!
BMW X6 is not a bad car.Not even remotely.The looks may not be for everyone but that's it.
Car and non-car people both rain hate on it because that's what everyone does,not because it deserves.You know that's the truth
Yes. Very much so. You even know the price although you can't afford one. Ever since I bought this car I've noticed one thing.......the guy driving the worst car on the road always seems to have the most to say about everyone else's car except his own. The haters of the world can't hide their green eyes when they see an X6. And to be honest I got a bit concerned how jealous drivers never gave way at junctions or deliberately cut me up and the tailgaters on the motorway trying to make me move out of their way just so they can get two inches in front. So concerned in fact that I sold my beautiful X6 40d and bought an X6 50d. People as yourself still have perfect green eye that will never change. But the tailgaters are a very small dot in my rear view mirror. See ya!
Savage.
Quix may be that's your experience. I've just bought the new shape X6 50d. I did 50k miles in the other one and only once did I changed a full set of tyres.
I still find the older X6 to be better looking than this new one for some reason....
Its ugly
It’s the damn hood... lol I swear I was torn between the two. Until I decided I didn’t want the old I drive anymore... but still want that hood on this one.
the x6 is very popular, so popular that every car brand is making their own copycat. Believe the hype, don't believe him.
People hate it because they can't afford it.
I like it myself nice crossover
I don't buy a car for back seat passengers, get a taxi or buy your own car, boot size is a individual factor long as it can take a buggy, few boxes and my shopping and the seats fold down I'm good. Looking to get a 50D one day with many features as possible.
After this review this is my favourite car channel. Good job!
I really like the X6 and love the X6M. The stylings is sweet and performance is great with handling. Ones who hate this are crazy? If you want a SUV get the X5 for it's size and shape plus function with more of the drivetrain of the X6. The X6 is based off the 6 Series Coupes. For driving than styling in the Range Rover. I'm a Driver and prefer the X6M for Me.
I love this car hate it or love it!!!
EVERYONE looks at my X6 when I pass by. It's just my mother and me so I'm good. People can kick rocks.
Maybe it's for people who want coupe styling with the stance and commanding view of an SUV. Why does a car have to be so practical that it requires a 2-box silhouette? To many, it's about how they look and feel while driving the car. Much like the Miata MX-5, VW CC and Mercedes-Benz CLS aren't very practical in their seating capacities, neither is this concoction of a vehicle very practical. As we all know most car purchases are emotional purchases and not practical ones, otherwise we would all drive mini-vans. I say if you want an ugly car and have the money, then by golly, buy yourself one.
I think it's more that car enthusiasts don't understand what the point of coupe-SUVs is. If you want a small, fun car, maybe you shouldn't be getting an SUV in the first place. If you want something that is tall and practical, why are you getting a coupe-like thing? It is an ugly, middle-ground contradiction and a lot of people don't understand it.
Like you said, it's kind of a niche thing for people with very specific wants. But it's also seen as a silly fad and will continue to get hated on a lot.
rjmari But that's OK, as it leaves real sporty and sports cars for the rest of us.
XCAR's getting better and better. Keep it up!!!
I think the X6 looks absolutely stunning!
What a Bad Ass X6!! My next car FERSHURE!!! 😀
This thing is so ugly. My buddy had an X6M and caught sense after a few years and sold it and got an ML63 AMG. This makes no sense, uglier than an X5, more expensive than an X5 and less practical than an X5.
venom5809 are you in love with him or something? go boast about your own credentials..if you have some..hahha trying to pose with his imaginary friend's car hahha
I thought the X5 was the best looking in the class until the latest body style; I don't like it! Now, I actually think the ML looks better than both the X5 and the X6, but personally I think the Cayenne Turbo beats them all.
***** The Cayenne Turbo is an awesome performer, and its better looking in my opinion. I've driven the X6M; it feels great, but I think its unattractive.
Surely the problem is in the logic of wanting to combine the bulk of an X5 with the practicality of a 4-Series. Any sane person can see that's backwards. The 5-Series Touring gets it the right way round.
beautiful car, pure art!
Now seeing, your commentary was spot on
Love X6 because is beautiful all round and powerful ,prestige with a solid build quality.
2013-2014 x6 are much more beautiful cars inside and out. Minus the speedometer and heads up display otherwise the 2015+ X6 look atrocious. (Currently on a 24 hour test drive thinking it could potentially be better than my 2014 all black with side skirts) for me personally, I also love how the 2013-2014 has that heavy stiff feeling when you drive. I’m sure others don’t but that’s my preference. I get a lot more looks in my 2013 than the 2015.
when the x6 First came out I was a little bit iffy about it but as the years go on its grown on me. Oves I don't on what its like to drive cos I am 17 and I haven't dun my test yet . personally I really like the x6 its a car that stands out of the crowd and its different
you really have to see it in person, I think it's a nice looking car
Most people are going to watch this video because they love this car. But why do u have a reviewer with so much dislike to review this car for us to watch?
WTF I like it.
It’s funny that 90% of the BMW X6 dislikers are all English.. clearly for them it’s more about promoting the Range Rover.. I’m neither a British nor German and I have driven and owned both the Range Rover sport and the BMW X6.. in my opinion, the BMW X6 is far more fun to drive, better engine power and more reliable.. the Range Rover sport has the looks and class also but feels nowhere as good as the x6.. only people that appreciate the x6 are the ones who’ve either been in it or driven it.. I loved it so much that I bought the 2019 which I own now and is a gem in the car world.
Commenting on how this car has less space and is less practical than an X5 assumes that blind people buy it - I saw how it looked, liked that it wasn’t a box of empty space like an X5 and decided to buy it FOR THAT REASON. I challenge reviewers to include in their X5 reviews that although it is practical, it’s cavernous capacity will go largely unused and it compromises on styling unlike the X6. 😌
Great video. Love the X6. Always will. Would love to have one someday.
2020..this car looks good
I love it, although I'd probably go for the petrol engine and I think the SE trim looks better than the M Sport on the X6. People are very quick to judge one another based on their preconceptions, as Alex says. To hell with it; drive what you want and what makes you feel good.
X6 is the only BIG car i would choose to buy, the X5 may be more practical but its an ugly square box. As i rarely have rear passengers or much in the boot the X6 is the perfect choice
This guy gets it! Sloping rooflines are what people WANT! A5, A7, 6 series, CLS, CLA, X6, XJ. People love coupes, pseudo coupes, GTs, fastbacks etc. Big cars not dink dink toys. New A9 coupe, new S coupe, new 850M coupe.
So....... here you have the X6. A big car, tick, power, tick. Coupe lines, tick. Claustrophobic ensconssed feel, tick. 4 seats is more than sufficient even for the avage family, if needed. And ofcourse if you buy the X6M you have M4 performance and feel without the impracticalities. I personally know the X5M is a better car, but i wont buy i one. Ill be getting a X6M. I want to feel caccooned inside. I dont want the open boxxy pedestrian feel of a shopping trolley that the X5 gives.
@V8Ziggy Brilliant comment- couldn’t agree with you more!!
FR!!
Fantastic introduction and stylishly presented
I've just got one it's great my range rover sport keep breaking. down the hight keep playing up codes. nearly every week so let see if my X6 is any good
it's just your opinion.. all people have different taste.. I'm going for x6 over range rover..
you prefer the Range Rover because you are a brit.
+Jimmy Reynolds, and that the X6 is shit.
Mansa Musa and ur muslim name is bullshit
Jimmy Reynolds, you do realize Mansa Musa was the leader of an empire, and the richest person ever to live, right? Anyways, the X6 sucks, it sucks on road and can't go offroading for shit.
+♡ Kleinr Schmetterling ♡ (Liberty Schulz) shut it
Had a few hours behind the wheel of an X6M with the 4.4L turbo V8. Insane speeds and accelleration, really classy interior, but the handling wasn't really matching its M badge.
I wish you could have took it off-road since it is aimed to challenge cars like range rover evo
Just get the x5
Cool thanks!
If you can afford an x6 you can certainly afford an x5... people buy what they want
I really don't take these reviews serious coming from this guy because he is or proclaims to be absolutely in love with every car he drives. It seems he is incapable of not liking a car because every car he reviews is described as a beautiful masterpiece or work of art.
Driven by people you dont want to have for dinner? WTF?
So you can have different taste in almost anything but not in cars?
I don't want i8-drivers for dinner, so smug they are that they drive a green sportscar.
X6-people, yes, i want them, they have stories, they're cool, relaxed, don't give a fuck what others think of them and they dont' think black-white, they don't care for the rules, they only care for the codes, like Dominic Toretto.
They're petrolheads. Those with hybrid gismo-laptops are not. THey're nerdy digi-tech lovers who keep rambling about all kinds of copmlicated palava no ordinary man, or woman, understands.
X6 people are down to earth. They're the best. Haters gonna hate!
It's not a matter of differing tastes, it's a matter of him not liking the sort of person who would buy this car.
appelpower1 WELL THIS IS ABOUT CARS!! not about psychology class. So people need to shut up about hair dressers, pimps, footballers, tattoos, drug dealers and all the other prejudice. Only to elevate themselves and their inseucre like, or
just so they can bash a car! Because no one has real arguments against this badass vehicle. i'ts petulant and childish!!
Firemarioflower Except you just spewed out a whole paragraph on what people are like based on ownership of an i8 or an X6. This renders your entire argument completely hypocritical, or it renders mine correct.
Well if the CAR ELITE says X6 sucks, then you are an awful person for liking it.
@Alfred munkenbeck do you own one? How do you know it isn't good? Or do you know anything about it at all? Probably not
How can he say that Range Rover Lego design is better than the Bmw Beast?? I think that people choose cars like they choose dogs, it has to look like you, so if you are borring you drive a borring car..
X6 or Range Rover evoque ?what would u buy as an everyday vehicle.
Darien Bowen X6!
The X& have a powerful design and a great perfomances,this is the king of road :)
As an X6 40D owner, my opinion is biased. However to all those other people with such passionate negative opinions, you really have to ask yourself, why do you care so much.
What does the title mean? Yes there is a big hype about it but what does that mean "dont belive the hype" ?
That the hype is much bigger than the most think or what does it mean?
people like this car because it drives like a suv feel like a suv and look better than a normal suv. maybe ist a Little unpractical but the People doun´t care . they love the Coupé style and have the monney :D
it looks awesome in person
Can’t wait to get one
It is so impressive the differences in tastes people in the UK and Mexico have. Here in Mexico, it is complete the opposite of what I have heard since the X6 was introduced. It is a SUV ( CUV or what ever BMW wants to call it) that people aspire to have and that people relate to success. I bought a 35i for my wife and she absolutely adores it. Her friends tell her she is so lucky to have this car and they all want to have a ride in it. At the valet the X6 is parked right outside the restaurant with other much expensive cars (probably because of the menacing and aggressive look to it people adore it so much in Mexico. I think this new version has lost that design edge mine has, it is less bold and more digestible to look at. Maybe because it has gone more bland people are not going to want it as they used to, because it attracts less attention. They will probably and surely want right now a Porsche Macan, fashion statement in mi city, or a Range Rover for the elegance and status it imposes. What ever it is, BMW currently knows how to assemble excellent cars that perform so well in all situation like traffic or a twisty road, surely thats why I currently own 5 and I an married to the brand.
they need to find way to inch up so more head room and allow the backseats to lean all the way back and slide back and forawrd
The front look of the past X6 is much better than the current version,
The X6 is the European equivalent to the American Hummer H2. - It's to childish, to unconventional, and it dosn't make any sense. But that's what’s good about it.
It's a car that doesn’t try to appeal to everyone. It appeals to the person, who is still in contact with their inner child. It’s a toy, more than a car.
