    • Automatic lane-change feature (uses various sensors to safely change lanes when the turn signal is applied)
  • Executive package

    • Rear-passenger window shades
    • Heated and cooled cupholders
    • Ventilated front seats with massage functions
    • Heated rear seats
    • Upgraded headlights

Key stand-alone options include:

Which 2021 X6 M trim does Edmunds recommend?

Because we think 600 horsepower is more than enough, we'd suggest sticking with the basic X6 M and forgoing the Competition model. The money you save could be spent on the Executive package for its ventilated and massaging front seats, adaptive headlights and soft-close doors.
