Absolutely amazing
Before I bought this monster, I did my research for almost 2months. I was at a point to purchase a Porsche Cayenne S but it paid to wait. I am totally amazed by the way it rides and what a comfort it offers over Cayenne. Absolutely there is no comparison between Porsche Cayenne and BMW X6 50i. I have looked into almost all high end car manufactures before I finalize this vehicle. I drove Porsche Cayenne, Acura ZDX, Audi Q7, Mercedes ML, Lexus RX400, and Range Rover HSE Supercharge. This BMW X6 is a truly an ultimate driving machine.
Engine locked BEWARE!!!!!
In 12/31/10 I bought a brand new BMW x6...To witness my car being built on my computer wow I have to say I was so happy I had the car of my dream!!!..It was built exactly the way I wanted mannnn I did love my car but let's say that my dream didnt last that long...on September 2015, while driving on the highway my engine locked... towed my car to BMW service department and after them keeping my car for over 2 weeks, I was advised that my engine was locked due to my strip under the hood which was damaged(I guess that's the strip that prevent water from entering my engine)...My warranty was expired for only a few months so I was charged $8000 for the repair and they provided me a refurbished engine but after browsing on the internet and seeing all the locked engine comments I decided why should I have to pay for something which wasn't my fault so I did a stop payment on the services...I started asking myself questions?? The Owner Manual clearly states not to get under the hood of your car unless it's from a professional BMW mechanic so if all my services were done at BMW service department how come they failed to see that this strip which can cause water to enter my engine was damaged what happened to customer service,what happened to integrity, isnt that what they stand for!!! I made several trips to the service department because my engine sensor was on after doing many diagnostics tests they couldnt find the root of the problem..so they just cleared my sensor and sent me on my way..long story short my $80,000 car became my nightmare and still is..BMW filed a lawsuit against me and charged me $32,000 in triple damages... I have to say that I do not recommend anyone from buying a BMW!!!!! My X6 wasnt my first car purchased with this company I did have a 328I which was great but based on my recent experience and being a loyal customer for over 6 years they treated me like I was a piece of trash so please Please don't get a BMW !!!! I totally lost respect for this company!!! I never taught this would go this far I even called BMW corporate office several times frantic and crying during all my ordeal and they suggested that I just let go the car who says that like really I spent all this money for nothing they didnt even care or provided me with any other option...This story is totally based on my experiences and unfortunately I will never give them a great review on a scale of 1-10 they dont even score a 1. Any other dealership would have gone above and beyond!!!!

It might cost you... or the warranty company
purchased ours used in excellent condition from the dealership with a secondary warranty. It only had 30,000 miles on it at the time and now has around 50k. It has been in the shop for 4 major repairs in the almost two years we’ve owned it - two different valve systems issues, axel replacement, leaking tubes. This has cost the warranty company over $15k. So caveat emptor.

Amazing Car
This is my first BMW and won't be my last. Coming from a 2010 GS Vette I went with the twin turbo V-8, must say it is as fun to drive as the vette but can take both of my kids with me now. I also love that you don't see too many of these on the road. If you are looking at this car segment...you must test drive this car. I had a 2011 550XI on order, but took the Hybrid X6 the dealer had on the lot for a drive and was sold on the car.
not perfect
well, wife's X6 sound system is not working , we send it back to the dealer they fix it by installing new software but the problem shown twice, after that i wrote a complain letter to BMW germany after two days our local dealer called me to bring back the car, they said the problem from the amplifier!!they change it under warranty so far the sound system is working until now ,but now i see another problem the back camera somtime not working probably. bmw are nice car but they known of ther reliability issue.
