Used 2021 BMW X6 SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The BMW X6 is a four-door coupe-style SUV, meaning it has a sporty sloping roofline on a midsize crossover SUV body. It is available in three trims: sDrive40i, xDrive40i and M50i. All models are equipped with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane departure warning (alerts you if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane)

xDrive40i
This trim includes all the standard equipment above and adds all-wheel drive.

M50i
A performance version of the X6 that adds:

  • Automatic high beams

Significant option packages for the X6 include:

Driving Assistance Professional package
A collection of additional safety equipment with the following:

  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the X6 and the car in front)
  • Lane keeping assist (steers the X6 back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • Steering & Traffic Jam Assistant (combines low-speed adaptive cruise control with lane-centering assist)

Executive package
This loaded package elevates the sDrive40i and xDrive40i to new luxury heights:

  • Head-up display
  • Four-zone automatic climate control
  • Surround-sound system
  • Panoramic LED sunroof

Which X6 trim does Edmunds recommend?

Take your pick from the rear-wheel-drive sDrive40i or the all-wheel-drive xDrive40i. These trims come well equipped and are both comfortable and fun to drive on the road. They're also priced well below the V8-powered M50i and give you more budgetary room to tailor your X6 with options such as the Executive package and Driving Assistance Professional package.
