I like how polarising this car car is! The fact that either you love it or hate it. I for one love it! Especially when you see it live, it looks so effortless when moving considering its size! Excellent review.
It's another example of all-in-one package (sporty, comfy, practical, all season) when you can't or don't want to have two or three premium cars for each thing. But I have been checking a perfectly equipped X6 xDrive30d with M package looking nearly identical to this one they've got in stock at my BMW dealership and it has about 20,000€ worth of options. It's still 10.000€ less than the 50d and, like you pointed out, more than enough for this kind of vehicle in terms of performance. Great review.
top notch review, great pace, detail. After what they did with the rear of the new 2021 X6, this 2nd gen looks downright beautiful. Cant'resist BMW, but that rear on the 2021 X6 is just a mess. What happened?
Hello Thomas, I am a regular viewer of your channel and finally I'm getting my x6 40d xdrive Msport this week! I'm so excited and thanks for the infos and comparisons
Indy Pindy I agree - as I said I think the X5 is more beautiful, however that 3 litre BMW Diesel is awesome and the driving experience was great as well.
Excellent job mr.thomas, as usual precise yet entertaining!! Bravo!! My ride now is a 7yr old x6 40d which is ripe for a new one... i'm in dilemma between this 50d or the Q7. The 40d has a good handling and superb at high speed cruising but the rides sometimes very untolerable esp on bad road.... harsh and stiff which is very annoying.... needs your wise feedback mr.thomas....
i usually dont like bmw but this is the only one that is good (to me). it looks better than than x5, more like monster and that rear end is more sporty. what you think?? Is that bird perspective rear camera better on x6 or in new volvo xc90?? i think volvos is a little bit better because it clearer. also nice review
Nineq 96 Hey, yeah I think the 360 camera is better on the XC90 because it was clearer and also huge in that screen. Driving dynamics however are better with the X6.
I'm not too sure how I feel about this car. I like how bold it is, but I don't like the fact that the X5 exists. With the X5, there's too much to pull you towards that rather than this, the X6. To buy the X6, you have to say, "You know, I like the X5, but I just wish it was more uncomfortable, less practical, and much more expensive." Don't get me wrong, it's still a good car, but I'm afraid it's not a very logical choice with the X5 around. Great review as always, I'm looking forwards to watching later reviews.
Hi,as always nice review, Can you please tell me if the 2016 BMW X6 M comes with ambient lighting? thanks!. As for the 2016 BMW X6 M50d, I cant find the right color or wheels like in the options on the X6 M. the X6 M50d is my favorite but i dont like the colors they offer, no 21inc wheels, and no carbon fiber int. because of the options not that great it keeps me away from buying.
Very un-PC car, but impressive engineering and more refinement than gen one. Probably safest to go swiftly on public roads in a car with such a higher seating position. The faster you go, the further you should look ahead for trouble or risks
Timo Ta Well you got a point there! I will take a "very normal Golf" in our test vehicle list. What will come close to that: We will soon have a Volkswagen Jetta Facelift in a review
Ixenke ml ihr könnt auch deutsch oder? Ich mache ne Ausbildung bei Volkswagen und habe den neuen Golf mit 1.2 und DSG und bin begeistert. Hätte aber lieber den Herta gehabt - leider etwas teurer das ihr den jetta vorstellt ist große Klasse ich freue .ich riesig
The new X7 should be more interesting and practical , expect this same engine with more power as well as a V8 and probably a new V12 6.6 (6.0 or 6.6 from Rolls) either way it's gonna look better and bigger..The first gen. X6 had a better exterior , this new one looks more korean but has a better interior design.
***** Hey Ivan, thanks for asking. I would say: The BMW still has the better suspension, but the Volvo clearly has the better seats. Noise levels are very low in both cars, maybe with a slight advantage for the BMW
Modern BMW material quality is absolutely inexcusable. The metals used and the interiors are on the same level as many Hondas (which are also worse than they were in the past) are.
MrCarGuy20 Hm I am not so sure, they interior was quite good. Only some points I criticized. At least in this high trim level. I agree to you when we talk about the basic entry versions, there you get a lot of cheap black plastics.
***** Well, yeah, I'm talking about the low to mid-level BMW trims for interiors. I'm also talking about component quality, paint quality, and metals. These are about the same quality throughout their lineup. If a BMW which costs 50% more than a mainstream competitor is disassembled, you would see extreme similarities in plastics, metals, and other quality. Most of their profit is made from options anyway; Porsche is the same.
MrCarGuy20 I agree, I am very fine with the high BMW trim levels, however the low trim levels are still very expensive but show cheap materials which disappoint you. I think its OK to have those different trims, but either I would expect lower prices for the entry models or (at the same price) already more features in the entry models.
Vous dites n importe quoi ! Ce véhicule est excellent, en tout point , j ai un X6 de 2017 exclusive, le top en 258 ch . Par rapport à un range Rover c est le jour et la nuit , 😊
+Chris Knaub Ich beschwer mich ja nicht, ist nur meine Meinung - mir gefallen die hellen Dachhimmel besser, daher der Tipp für alle, die das auch so sehen, keinen M zu nehmen :)
Great review. Just tested the 40d and about to try the 50d before making a decision. Personally, I don’t want a sports car and don’t need a huge boot to transport goods. It’s a good compromise and if you like the looks and performance then why not...

I like the way Thomas is presenting the content and his command of English for a German guy. Have you ever lived in the States?
Thanks 🙏 actually no but in non-corona times I am quite often there
Came across this channel today and i'm loving it. The in-depth, nuanced analysis are doing it for me. New subscriber earned.
+Victor Muthoka love to hear that!
Hello Thomas, I am a regular viewer of your channel and finally I'm getting my x6 40d xdrive Msport this week! I'm so excited and thanks for the infos and comparisons

Love your reviews Germans really the best engineers the best culture! Keep up the great work
AState OfKuwait thanks appreciated! And best regards to the middle east!
***** Don't forget Hyundai heavy industries makes huge ship vessels which Germans cannot make very well.
Nice in depth review ! thanks and respect ! keep up your work !
+Edon Morina thanks man!
Great review, thanks for sharing Thomas :)
Ryan De LaMonte appreciated Ryan!
Dont like the looks of the X6. But i do love the engine.
Great review as always!
Indy Pindy I agree - as I said I think the X5 is more beautiful, however that 3 litre BMW Diesel is awesome and the driving experience was great as well.
X5 M50d or X6 M50d, tough choice... Thanks for the great review (again)!
Superb review
+IEEM01172 thanks!

thanks! We ll keep u updated with the all-new X6 as soon as possible.
Seen our new X5 review already? ua-cam.com/video/rTZsiq2nWxA/v-deo.html
Does it have heads up display?
i usually dont like bmw but this is the only one that is good (to me). it looks better than than x5, more like monster and that rear end is more sporty. what you think??

WOW! For the 1st time i saw the X6 with alcantara seats! :)) Awesomeness!!! Thx Thomas!
yeah thats really awesome pick :) appreciated!

+Jacob Dryja yes I would also always pick the x5
my opinion exactly! I would feel stupid if I bought X6 over X5.
+Jacob Dryja Really? i think for me it's coz the X5 is a bit...ugly tbh. The coupe design is the deal breaker.
You choose the X5 with your brain. You choose the X6 with the heart of a child. :) Both do their job very well.
nice review
I would like to see a full test review of the BMW X5M
When will we see the BMW M4 in full HD, full screen, and full length, with Thomas?
i ll note that down
Thanks man!
Good review... Thumbs up!
He actually drive the car for a while before making this video...
+Maruf Hasan thanks man ! Enjoy more of our reviews!
I have the X6 2016 very beautiful
I love this car! It even inspired me to write a poem about it! 🥰🚗😍 (Although I don't have such talent)
Wow..! what a great review. . anyway can you review the 2017 Range Rover Autobiography pleaseee...!!
+Panacea Polai 👏youtube search autogefuehl autobiograhpy
man i love bmw interiors :D
Can you tell me the music which you guys played in the background? Loved it
nice review as allways but 360 is hurting my eyes.
Matthew Catchpole Sorry UA-cam always takes some time to process. We are _always_ doing Full HD.
You can make BMW X5 review ,please
Hi,as always nice review, Can you please tell me if the 2016 BMW X6 M comes with ambient lighting? thanks!. As for the 2016 BMW X6 M50d, I cant find the right color or wheels like in the options on the X6 M. the X6 M50d is my favorite but i dont like the colors they offer, no 21inc wheels, and no carbon fiber int. because of the options not that great it keeps me away from buying.
Noel Borg indeed all X6 models have ambient lighting
15:35 which cars have you been in where that would come out automatically??
Very un-PC car, but impressive engineering and more refinement than gen one. Probably safest to go swiftly on public roads in a car with such a higher seating position. The faster you go, the further you should look ahead for trouble or risks
the x6m acceleration 0 to 100 km/h is 4.2 second not 4.7 second
excellent review great car!!!!
Saeed Anwar Thanks Saeed!
Excellent review but pointless car.
***** heh thanks ;-) Well I thought so too before, but I must admit it drives very very well and you can combine having a sportscar and a big suv
Why is there no review of the normal Golf 7 on this channel?
Please review the 1.2 with dsg
Timo Ta Hey! We do have the Golf 7 as .... GTI, GTE, e-Golf, R, R Cabriolet. Those 5 should be enough for now :-) Found any of those?
Ok Thanks, was just wondering because a normal Golf review should Be Standard for a channel like this, nur thanks for answering
Timo Ta Well you got a point there! I will take a "very normal Golf" in our test vehicle list. What will come close to that: We will soon have a Volkswagen Jetta Facelift in a review
Ixenke ml ihr könnt auch deutsch oder? Ich mache ne Ausbildung bei Volkswagen und habe den neuen Golf mit 1.2 und DSG und bin begeistert. Hätte aber lieber den Herta gehabt - leider etwas teurer das ihr den jetta vorstellt ist große Klasse ich freue .ich riesig
Jetta* anstatt Hertha
what are the criteria to choose an SUV over sedan when you actually don't have the 'SUV'purposes?
+ijaz ahamed design i guess
Autogefühl Because i personally feel comfortable riding sedan more than SUV. Confused between new Bmw 540i,merc Glc 43amg and new Porsche cayenne
The new X7 should be more interesting and practical , expect this same engine with more power as well as a V8 and probably a new V12 6.6 (6.0 or 6.6 from Rolls) either way it's gonna look better and bigger..The first gen. X6 had a better exterior , this new one looks more korean but has a better interior design.
bmw x7 wont use a rolls royce engine it will use 760i engine
bmw never made a car without there own engine
***** What are your comments regarding the ride comfort/noise levels compared to the new Volvo XC90?
***** Hey Ivan, thanks for asking. I would say: The BMW still has the better suspension, but the Volvo clearly has the better seats. Noise levels are very low in both cars, maybe with a slight advantage for the BMW
Well done!!! Best review of BMW X6 m50d. Oh , and liked your German accent
Thanks 😊
some people just hated it because it was the first of the kind

MrCarGuy20 Yeah, the 3 series cars for example are horribly built.
No way!
Habt ihr den X4 schon getestet ?
Pyro Heart Hi! Nein, noch nicht, aber wir nehmen den auf deinen Wunsch gerne auf unsere Liste!
***** ok super , weiter so :)
꼭 사고만다... 그리고 오늘도 난 너를 위해 로또를산다..
No one can complain about BMW engines but this car is pricey to get that 3.0L diesel engine besides no leather interior.
ChAbAr The feature is the Alcantara interior - its better than leather imho! If you dont have the m50d, you have leather seats.
No complain about the price then
ChAbAr The price is indeed very high!
These wheels look like as if they were 15-inch.....
slapi2006 Looks a little bit small, maybe due to winter tyres.
***** yeah...I have the same impression with my Astra J GTC, 17inch on winter tires look poor in comparison to 19-inch alloys for summer.
Vous dites n importe quoi ! Ce véhicule est excellent, en tout point , j ai un X6 de 2017 exclusive, le top en 258 ch . Par rapport à un range Rover c est le jour et la nuit , 😊
Beschwer dich nicht über schwarzen Himmel wenn du einen m nimmst
+Chris Knaub Ich beschwer mich ja nicht, ist nur meine Meinung - mir gefallen die hellen Dachhimmel besser, daher der Tipp für alle, die das auch so sehen, keinen M zu nehmen :)
X6 design is depressive.I can share some italian designer phone number.
i personly like the volvo xc 90 lol
Skinniest wheels ever
New XC90 is much better.
Olof L The XC90 is awesome, yes, but I was also pretty convinced of the driving dynamics by the X6
Over Priced!
Great review. Just tested the 40d and about to try the 50d before making a decision. Personally, I don’t want a sports car and don’t need a huge boot to transport goods. It’s a good compromise and if you like the looks and performance then why not...
thanks for watching !
Took delivery a couple of days ago and all I can say is what a great engine. Monster torque!
50 always meant V10. Why did they size down the engine and yet kept the name?
DimensiiioN The names are actually not quite referring the the actual horse power input ...
***** Not to the hp but to the size of the engine. The 50 always stood for the V10. 40 meant V8 and 30 represented the straight 6.
