The BMW X6 has a pretty interesting rep in the UK, Alex wanted to find out why. Thankfully the newest X6 was on hand to help with his enquiry.

I test drove it myself, and I bought it! The hell with the haters
+ael buel Nice!!!
" DADUN" They see me rooolling, they hating, patrolling just trying to catch me driving dirty'
Good for you but may i ask why x6? have you considered x5?
envy is not a good trait
Gerald Bennett AMEN BROTHER! That's what I also say often to those jealous tards!
There is no car that gets so much hate as the X6 and there is no phone that gets as much hate as the iPhone, especially iPhone 6 Plus. Imagine sitting in a traffic jam in your X6 with an iPhone 6 Plus in your hand, people will go absolutely bat shit. I want to be that guy so I'm thinking about buying both of them.
That is exactly what I thought :)
That exactly what I need
This dude seems to be enjoying the drive, but saying all the negative things he has heard........
I still hold firm to the feeling I felt all those years ago when I first seen the X6; it's drop dead gorgeous and I'd love to own one. Honestly, when I first heard all of the hate towards the X6, I was quite surprised to hear it. Yes, it's not as practical as it could be, but I feel most other common complaints are subjective. All in all, if I was in the market for one, I would more than likely pick up a new X6. Especially the X6 M.
If you're going to ramble on about the boot for half the video... AT LEAST SHOW US THE DAMN BOOT! geeez
Ikr
And its a coupe! Ofcourse it has less space than x5 obiously
X6 owner here. I wanted a sports car in the beginning. But then I realized here in Canada I really need a car with decent ground clearance in winter. So I bought a SUV with some sporty style, so called SAV by bmw.
Do you still have it? Would you still recommend one?
@@vincentvillanueva6081 As long as you get one made in Germany yes 100%
@@davidlegkodukh6969 How do you get one made in Germany in Canada?
@@sugadre123 Check out the vin number for the models available to you.
Ones produced in Germany have a few specific numbers reserved for German made vehicles.
May Jesus Bless your journey, thx for reaching out!
Why so much hate? I think it looks great. You have got to see this in the flesh to appreciate the looks. Pics/vid don't do it justice
You hit the nail on point, this car does look stunning in person. However, many people feel it is a compromise due to lack of cargo volume and minimal off-road capabilty compared to other SUV in its class.
in the video clip you say the vast majority of people will hate the X6.......you are absolutely correct. but it's that vast majority who can't afford it and simply hate it out of jealousy. I purchased a new X6 40d and since then I've come across so many jealous drivers trying to race tail gate or never letting me out of a side road. if knew the 40d would have upset the haters I would have purchased the 50d .....which I'm happy to say is now on order !!!!!! Haters will always hate.
haha you think people are jealous of your 60000 stupid half suv half sedan ugly useless car
They sell well, so the majority of those upper class people doesn't hate it.
It's capable of more things than your Prius jealous minger, and you know it.
I can't afford a Camry, therefore I hate it. I can't afford a Porsche 911 (I love it), but I hate it, because i can't afford it. Idiots will always be idiots.
Siri Exactly. I can't afford a corvette but I like them.
i dont care what anyone says the x6 was and is an extremely beautiful car and no other suv except the cayenne cant match the driving experience it offers and thou the range is a great car ive never heard a british person speak a speck of negative of it and they are always biased towards the range rover
daniel blake No offense, I own a x6 myself, the e71. But BMW really needs to step up their game in exterior design. For the previous generation, the back looks bold and aggressive but the front looks weak and now this new generation the back looks weak as hell but the front looks bold and aggressive. WTF BMW, they should had improve the front and leave the back as it is.
+Justin Carter well for me , I prefer the x6 over the x5 , especially in the back
+Justin Carter absolutely right. I owned the last generation and the mucked up the back with this one. I also thought the wheel wells were too big.
Love my x6 everyday all the time turning heads and getting compliments
I think this is a perfect car for someone who lives in an area with shitty roads, but wants to drive something sporty, and in my opinion it looks astonishing!
I used to own a 2008 X6 and I loved every single thing about it, so I got a new 2013 one and its awesome!! great car, great fun.and I hope to buy the new one soon :) btw don't really care what other people think whatsoever; I LOVE IT!
Have you had any problems with it? Looking to get a 15 soon
@@vincentvillanueva6081 Just make sure you buy one made in germany
Don’t go past 2014, you will definitely not like 2015+. It’s an entirely different look and drive
If someone wants to drive it and live with it everyday who are we so say they shouldnt. Haters gonna hate. But I love the BMW design.
The BMW X6 is an awesome ride. The reason why it is still around after its' launch in 2008 is because people simply love this SAV. I am a proud owner of a BMW X6 35i. It handles very well for a large vehicle. The head room in the back is adequate. I have not seen anyone have issues getting in my back seat. There is plenty of leg room for someone of average height. It is a perfect vehicle for me because I don't carry passengers often and I wanted a vehicle that did not have the the typical sluggish SUV feel. Like other BMWs I have driven, it is fast and the steering is responsive. I think most people love the look of this car.
Always liked the X6. Everyone is all very quick to conform and get on board with whatever is "trending" on social media and whatever "cause" is current.
+Adddam Yes
Number 2. Yes I just purchased my second one. My first one was a 2009 and just two days ago I got a 2017 that was a clearance model. 15 k below msrp. Oh my what an upgrade. I love this car.
Ovie Beltran congradulations!
It's such a beautiful car idk why people hate on ot
It's one of the ugliest cars around!
best x6 review, you put it brilliantly. Let people buy and enjoy whatever the fuck they want to.
that being said i like the x6.
I've loved the design since day one, but I couldn't afford one back then. Now I finally can and I will pick mine up next week. Not the M50d, but the 40d which is enough for me and fits my budget. I don't care what people think about me or my car. I know I'm good people and getting a X6 is not changing that. It's my dream car and I can afford it, simple as that. I just don't get why people must hate it. There's plenty of more expensive and more unpractical cars out there (like every supercar fx), but I guess the X6 strikes a bad chord with some people. Haters are sad, sad people...
Not even a minute in and the sarcasm was whipped out.
As I should expect Alex.
I think the X6 looks absolutely stunning!
I think the X6 is very much aimed at people who do care about what other people think. They're just also the kind of people who don't actually know what other people think. They think everyone has taste as bad as them.
Never thought of it that way, but I do now LOL
***** Because you're a Bimmer fanboy, we all know that.
not everyone, just the ones that matter for them...
its the perfect car for a soccer mom or a family guy
filthy individual Upper middle class soccer mom or family guy lol. Look at the prices.
I just recently picked up a 2012 X6M and it is amazing driver's car. It is very fast, handles extremely well for its size and practical enough for someone with 2 kids.
How was the reliability?
It was fine. No issues at all. I had it from 26k miles to about 60k
I don't like BMW much tbh, but I love the X6 I mean look at it, it a beast
Why are we so worried about what people think about us? If you like the X6, buy the X6. I know if I had the money I would.
Absolutely love my 13' X6 x-drive vehicle. A fun drive, and stylish. Everywhere I go people stop me to compliment my car and ask me tons of questions about it. I think it's gorgeous and absolutely fits my personality. I had my 08' 650i first and still to this day I get compliments on it too! I love BMW! I get it, people in London hate it! Drove a Range Rover too and wasn't impressed. Its a nice car, but boring...
best looking suv in the market. love it
X6 is the only BIG car i would choose to buy, the X5 may be more practical but its an ugly square box. As i rarely have rear passengers or much in the boot the X6 is the perfect choice
This guy gets it! Sloping rooflines are what people WANT! A5, A7, 6 series, CLS, CLA, X6, XJ. People love coupes, pseudo coupes, GTs, fastbacks etc. Big cars not dink dink toys. New A9 coupe, new S coupe, new 850M coupe.
So....... here you have the X6. A big car, tick, power, tick. Coupe lines, tick. Claustrophobic ensconssed feel, tick. 4 seats is more than sufficient even for the avage family, if needed. And ofcourse if you buy the X6M you have M4 performance and feel without the impracticalities. I personally know the X5M is a better car, but i wont buy i one. Ill be getting a X6M. I want to feel caccooned inside. I dont want the open boxxy pedestrian feel of a shopping trolley that the X5 gives.
@V8Ziggy Brilliant comment- couldn’t agree with you more!!
FR!!
I never understood why the X6 has always been so universally disliked. When first saw the x6 I thought it looked like Batman's Tumbler Batmobile. And when I drove it for the first time I felt like it was too, only the whole interior was wrapped in supple leather with contrast stitching. It handled like a smaller car with little body roll, but cruised quietly and smoothly on the highway like a big luxury sedan. The coupe roofline was always pleasing to me, and the small number on the road added to the exclusivity, with sales about equal to that of the 6 series Gran Coupe. I got compliments everywhere I drove it. And nobody ever asked me what the point was. If they did, I would tell them that my personal preference was towards the X6 over the X5 based on looks, which were and still are very pleasing to me. I think this new model is absolutely gorgeous. Lastly, only bought cars on the basis of dollar value and practicality, everyone would buy an A6 over an A7, or a 5 Series over a 6 Series Gran Coupe, etc. Bottom line is, sometimes people want to spend a few extra grand for a car that looks the way they want it to, and you shouldn't be passing judgement on their taste because of that!
By the way, my 2010 x6 blew its fuel pump and needed a full transmission replacement after less than 2 years of driving. It's gone now.
But still, GO ONLINE AND BUILD AN XLINE WITH THE 20" BLACK RIMS AND TELL ME YOU DON'T WANT ONE! haha!
I don't care what people think, I'm different and I'd have an X6 without hesitation. Lovely looking car...different and has individuality written all over it. Bit pricey though
"we live in a world that everything we do stands for something" Well said. Awesome review!
I haven't met a person that doesn't like the design of the X6 tbh ...
4:02 "it lacks the classlessness..." is the same with "it has class"
lol
Panda
sorry I couldn't help myself
I KNEW IT!
Awesome car, I absolutely love it. This is not supposed to be a beautiful car but its a very appealing car "the beast" and it has presents. Love it or hate it its here to stay.
After this review this is my favourite car channel. Good job!
Despite what everyone thinks about X6 and it's looks, the enormous success of it has forced all other manufacturers to start make a SUV coupe. BMW has had all the market for this niche product for themselves and are making a tone of money off it. I guess it's like the Nissan Juke. Everybody think it's ugly but Nissan still sells a lot of them.
Thats true
They sell a lot of them and they put forward the idea that SUV Coupes can sell. Doesn't mean it's a good idea. It's a sloping mess of unnecessary German tech based on another piece of unnecessary German tech. SUV's are really one of the most pointless things being built today, and everyone thinks they need one.
No suv are the most important thing that yhey are building now because of the snow, dirt, rain and other stuff that mothenature car throw at u
You're thinking of 4x4s. There is a difference. SUVs are Soccer Mum cars that can't handle shit.
yeah ok but this suv is not a soccer mom car
Great video. Love the X6. Always will. Would love to have one someday.
i think x6 is brilliant looking never would say its ugly
Well, let me put it this way: I have an E53 (1st gen) BMW X5. It's got 460L of trunk space. The new X6, has 585L. This makes it 225L more than a 1st gen X5, and it still has more than the E70 (2008-2013) BMW X5. The trunk is *BIG*.
XCAR's getting better and better. Keep it up!!!
I like it
Fantastic introduction and stylishly presented
I swear I don't understand why so many people unlike the looks of the x6 (I do understand the tons of people who do), I think it's so innovative, classy and sporty that the "small lack" of practicality they offer (compared to the x5) doesn't exactly matter...
Of course it would never be the logical option for a family, but so wouldn't most cars that petrol heads like!
So, yes, the x6 is an astonishing car from most angles and it's a hell of a BMW, a true driver's car!
Well said...
"..everything you own says something about you.."
i Love BMW..
performance with defeat device on /off?
I've just got one it's great my range rover sport keep breaking. down the hight keep playing up codes. nearly every week so let see if my X6 is any good
I don't like BMW's been an Audi fan. But if i had the money i would so buy this car it looks great!
***** Looks terrible, but love your channel! Subscribed!
I still find the older X6 to be better looking than this new one for some reason....
Its ugly
It’s the damn hood... lol I swear I was torn between the two. Until I decided I didn’t want the old I drive anymore... but still want that hood on this one.
Hey one more thing before I get into my X6 50d.........do you think if the X6 is so bad would Mercedes would have ripped off the X6 design? The GLE Coupe was designed by Mercedes using tracing paper.
@Alfred munkenbeck do you own one? How do you know it isn't good? Or do you know anything about it at all? Probably not
you really have to see it in person, I think it's a nice looking car
Are you writing your stuff yourself, Alex? Cause you're damn good at it! Keep up the good work.
Now seeing, your commentary was spot on
Can you review the Seat Ibiza FR with the new ACT engine?
Very good review! Kid is on top once again!
Where were you? Looks like Tennessee or Virginia in the autumn.
I think it's an excellent looking SAV. I had the X5, but planning to get this sometime soon.
Of course I'm keeping the FJ hahaha
The X& have a powerful design and a great perfomances,this is the king of road :)
Love X6 because is beautiful all round and powerful ,prestige with a solid build quality.
What the name of the song in this series
I love it, although I'd probably go for the petrol engine and I think the SE trim looks better than the M Sport on the X6. People are very quick to judge one another based on their preconceptions, as Alex says. To hell with it; drive what you want and what makes you feel good.
MY father used to have one of these a couple years back. an older model, 2011. funny that he now has a 2016 range rover sport, but almost everyday he says he misses the way the X6 drove. My life goal is to be succesful and to buy him an X6, no matter what other think or thought. I loved the car, he loved it, and it is my goal.
Davian Cela you better work hard i wish you and your dad the best of luck!
Blekitnyhornet 112567 thanks bro, already got some plans
Davian Cela i have the same goal to
My dad had a 2009 volvo xc90 he really missed it when he sold it in 2013 and bought a bmw x1
He missed it cos volvo is his favorite make and it was a huge car but back then we werent as rich so maintenence was a lot cos it kept on having minor problems and there was only 3 of us me my mum and my dad so there was no point in having such a huge car and it also consumed a lot of fuel so im going to try buy him the same car
Blekitnyhornet 112567 good luck👍
Davian Cela thanks
I like the X6, 6 series Gran Coupe, Range Rover Sport, and the A7. A while back, (like 8 years) I was telling my mechanic I wanted a range rover and he said they are not reliable and are always in his shop. Has range rover improved this? I was looking for a 2013 and up. Thoughts on Audi and BMW reliability? My favorite interior is BMW's. They have really improved their exterior and interior design as I always thought their cars were ugly until a few years ago.
Beautiful car...I’m buying it soon. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! 😃
when the x6 First came out I was a little bit iffy about it but as the years go on its grown on me. Oves I don't on what its like to drive cos I am 17 and I haven't dun my test yet . personally I really like the x6 its a car that stands out of the crowd and its different
beautiful car, pure art!
really good review
it looks awesome in person
What a Bad Ass X6!! My next car FERSHURE!!! 😀
Good review
Had a few hours behind the wheel of an X6M with the 4.4L turbo V8. Insane speeds and accelleration, really classy interior, but the handling wasn't really matching its M badge.
X6 or Range Rover evoque ?what would u buy as an everyday vehicle.
Darien Bowen X6!
I really like the X6 and love the X6M. The stylings is sweet and performance is great with handling. Ones who hate this are crazy? If you want a SUV get the X5 for it's size and shape plus function with more of the drivetrain of the X6. The X6 is based off the 6 Series Coupes. For driving than styling in the Range Rover. I'm a Driver and prefer the X6M for Me.
Can’t wait to get one
I live in jamaica where we drive on the left too. Whenever I visit west Palm beach for thanks giving it's a pain to drive on the right in a left handed car around town high way is a non issue. How was it for you? England shaped much if our laws and culture, visit some time.
I have a 2010 X6 and i adore it! i'm 6'4 and its big enough for me! drives beautifully, feels great! and personally i dislike range rovers! but then again i'm in Australia! ;)
Is the rear headroom as bad as they make out?
2020..this car looks good
I am in love with this car
I don't buy a car for back seat passengers, get a taxi or buy your own car, boot size is a individual factor long as it can take a buggy, few boxes and my shopping and the seats fold down I'm good. Looking to get a 50D one day with many features as possible.
I like it myself nice crossover
I love it so much, what a beautiful beast. If you the practicality go for the x5. Also why didn't you mention the economy of the x6 m50d thats what it is about
Superb
looks nice, i want one.
WTF I like it.
Yes. Very much so. You even know the price although you can't afford one. Ever since I bought this car I've noticed one thing.......the guy driving the worst car on the road always seems to have the most to say about everyone else's car except his own. The haters of the world can't hide their green eyes when they see an X6. And to be honest I got a bit concerned how jealous drivers never gave way at junctions or deliberately cut me up and the tailgaters on the motorway trying to make me move out of their way just so they can get two inches in front. So concerned in fact that I sold my beautiful X6 40d and bought an X6 50d. People as yourself still have perfect green eye that will never change. But the tailgaters are a very small dot in my rear view mirror. See ya!
Savage.
Quix may be that's your experience. I've just bought the new shape X6 50d. I did 50k miles in the other one and only once did I changed a full set of tyres.
is this X6 Flamenco Red Metallic?
The more people hate this car, the more I like it. I am not sure I understand the undying attraction to the standard SUV look, but it's not for me. The X6 is different and that's a good thing.
I f*ck*ng love it!
One of my favorite BMW cars, or maybe my favorite!
Can't wait to buy one of these!
How much is it
nice scenery though... Georgia?
I love this car hate it or love it!!!
EVERYONE looks at my X6 when I pass by. It's just my mother and me so I'm good. People can kick rocks.
they need to find way to inch up so more head room and allow the backseats to lean all the way back and slide back and forawrd
AWESOME
Steering wheel looks huge!
I wish you could have took it off-road since it is aimed to challenge cars like range rover evo
People hate it because they can't afford it.
looks great
Surely the problem is in the logic of wanting to combine the bulk of an X5 with the practicality of a 4-Series. Any sane person can see that's backwards. The 5-Series Touring gets it the right way round.
