About the 2024 BMW X6 M
3rd generation (F96, 2020-present), mid-cycle refresh year.
The X6 M is BMW’s high-performance coupe-style SUV for shoppers who want very quick acceleration, all-weather traction, and a premium cabin in a more dramatic shape than the X5 M. BMW positions it as a mix of M-brand performance and modern luxury: a powerful twin-turbo V8, sharp handling hardware, strong everyday comfort, and a tech-heavy interior, all wrapped in the lower, sloping-roof X6 body that emphasizes style as much as speed.
For 2024, BMW positions the X6 M Competition as the full-strength, style-focused version of its midsize performance SUV, pairing a coupe-like roofline with a 617-hp V8 and AWD. Its standout equipment includes adaptive suspension, upgraded M brakes, Merino leather and a curved digital display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
