BMW X6 M50d (2014) review - CAR Magazine
It does share that dashboard with the X5, a pair of new kneepads either side of the transmission tunnel the only obvious differentiation. New BMW X6: design But BMW doesn’t want you to pay too much attention to such practicalities, as this new X6 slips from the same Sports Activity Coupe mould as the first. It stands out against conventional rivals easily, but we wouldn’t call the BMW particularly sleek or stylish in isolation. This M50d model has its fair share of bling too, with 20-inch double-spoke alloy wheels, black chrome exhaust finishers, grey wing-mirror caps and M-specific bodystyling for the sills and bumpers. Finished in the Carmine Red of our test example, it looks a little like a grown man wearing a velour tracksuit. What’s the new BMW X6 like to drive. The familiar 3. 0-litre six-cylinder diesel is boosted to within an inch of block implosion, developing 376bhp and 546lb ft of torque. Despite weighing 2. 2 tonnes with standard four-wheel drive, this tracksuit-wearing SAC hits 62mph from rest in 5. 2 seconds. the X6 50i SE uses its 4. 4-litre turbocharged V8 petrol to complete the same almost half-a-second faster.
