About the 2019 BMW X6 M
2nd gen (F86, 2015-2019), final year before the all-new 2020 third generation.
BMW positions the X6 M as a high-performance coupe-roof luxury SUV that blends the raised seating position and everyday usefulness of an X model with real M-car speed, braking, and chassis tuning. Its appeal is less about maximum cargo space and more about dramatic styling and serious pace: it gives shoppers super-SUV acceleration, a bold fastback profile, and a premium cabin, all in a package that feels more extroverted than a traditional midsize luxury SUV.
The 2019 X6 M is the full-performance version of BMW's coupe-roof SUV, sold in a single well-equipped trim. Its signature hardware includes a 567-hp twin-turbo V8, performance-tuned all-wheel drive and adaptive suspension, while the cabin features heated Merino leather front seats, navigation and Harman Kardon surround-sound audio.
