2020 BMW X6 M: Review, Trims, Specs, Price, New Interior Features, Exterior Design, and Specifications | CarBuzz

I’ve never been interested in the fashion-forward SUV-coupe trend. The more conventional SUV styling of the X5 has always appealed more and the X6 didn’t seem worth the additional cost and loss in cargo capacity. But clearly, BMW buyers don’t all agree. Customers are attracted to the X6 M’s rakish roofline and coupe-like rear end as impractical as it may be. The X6 M makes a fashion statement that the X5 M simply can’t.

BMW targeted my weakness for flashy colors by supplying an X6 M in a wonderful new shade of purple called Ametrin Metallic. The gambit certainly worked, causing me to loosen up my opposition to the X6 M’s existence, though it is worth noting this color is also available on the X5 M.

You can tell an X6 M apart from a standard X6 via M-specific kidney grilles, flared wheel arches, and rear diffuser with quad exhaust tips. 21-inch wheels come standard but Competition models get staggered wheels with 22-inchers in the back. You can also spot an X6 Competition via its roof and lower tailgate spoiler.
