2015 BMW X6 xDrive35i - Car and Driver (blog)
A 300-hp 3. 0-liter turbo inline-six with an eight-speed automatic can be ordered with either rear- or all-wheel drive. An audacious 445-hp 4. 4-liter turbo V-8 is optional and comes only with all-wheel drive. The standard Driving Dynamics Control system allows for five distinct driving modes and an available air suspension provides even more fine-tuning. Instrumented Test – 2015 BMW X6 xDrive35i Okay, we’ve been banging on about the strangeness of the BMW X6 —a fastbacked, hatch-havin’ four-door “coupe” version of the X5 “Sports Activity Vehicle”—since it arrived as a 2008 model. And in the way that patent-leather work boots are a thing. A quarter-million isn’t a huge number in the greater scheme of things, but it represents enough profit that BMW introduced the second-generation X6 for 2015. More than that, it has extended the idea downmarket to the X4 and is even prepping an X2... Hey, it’s at least as good a time as judging whether the new whiskey-and-haggis potato chips are as good as the chicken-and-waffles variety. The More Things Change Like the third-gen BMW X5 introduced for 2014, the new X6 rides the same 115. 5-inch wheelbase as before. Source: www.caranddriver.com
