01:15the x6 is one of those cars that demands attention the coupe-ish roofline drops sharply towards the
01:21rear giving it that aggressive sporty silhouette from the front you still get the large bmw kidney
01:28grill strong character lines and wide stance the sloped roof gives it a dramatic profile yet it
01:35comes at some cost rear headroom is modest and cargo volume is less generous compared to the boxy or x5
01:42for style cues the tail lights wrap around the rear hatch flows down in a fast drop off and the
01:50overall look emphasizes motion even at standstill if you're after suv practicality only this design

03:03to live with in terms of ride comfort and refinement the x6 does a good job reviewers found the chassis
03:10well sorted and the ride compliant even with the sportier setup noise insulation is good the cabin quiets down

03:24suspension tuning especially in sport trims can transmit more road texture than a relaxed luxury suv one review noted the sloped roof
03:33consumes cargo space and that rear visibility is compromised if comfort is your top priority the x6 strikes a
03:40balance you get sporty feel plus luxury but you might sacrifice a little practical ease compared to a more
03:47conventional suv now performance is where the bmw x6 really shines starting with the base x-drive 40i model a turbocharged
