The BMW X6 and it's M-i'fied descendants really popularized the "SUV as a Coupe" genre of luxury vehicle that we now see as pretty much the standard style for high-end SUV's. Audi, Mercedes, and Porsche all now make "CoupeUV's." So while we maintain the sloped back version of this vehicle (the squared off X5M is otherwise identical) adds no practicality, doesn't look great, and removes rear visibility, we have few criticisms about how it drives. The performance, at every metric, defies its heavy curb weight and is still the gold standard of the Fast SUV industry.
BMW provided the vehicle, insurance, and a tank of fuel for this review.

We forgot to disable the GoPro's stabilization after Matt reviewed the Ducati. That's why the camera is rotating. Sorry!
Unpopular opinion maybe? But i liked it🤷🏻♂️
Hey does the smokingtire tm agree vehicle prices are just outrageous these days. 130 for a sport suv? Does the actual parts differ enough to argue the price tag. What materials are used for the entire drivetrain.
yeah it's like it's reverse of looking into the corner
The rotating camera made me think you were going off on every turn
This. Quite distracting.
Same. Also was super distracting and feels like I'm going to be sick.
Yeah, the camera is awful. It's constantly pointing to where your eyes shouldn't be driving when you're driving fast.
Agreed. That camera motion was horrible.
@@DSP1337 Newer GoPros have this effect as well. The GoPro 7 like stabilization seems to work best for driving still.
Not a fan of the new rotating pov, it's hard to tell how fast you're going.
It made me nauseous!!
It's a setting in the GoPro. We can lock the POV.
I’d probably kill the rotating camera, boys. It’s kinda disorienting.
Don't like this new moving camera angle - So off putting!
Keep the go-pro's :)
Holy shit that camera made me think you were going off the road
8:40
Never thought that the x6 would look better than the m4, but here we are.
This thing looks like a cockroach
@@ForkInTheButt and the m4 looks like a cockroach that got stepped on.
@@cltnthecultist stepped on and all its guts went to its face
@@jameshoffmann5643 exactly. What a perfect description of a horrid vehicle.
They are all ugly af
What is going on with that camera!?
Track versions of SUV's will never not be completely ridiculous
I fucking die everytime I hear "competition" on a vehicle this big. My first thought is ALWAYS "oh yeah, you competing a lot in that big guy?"
@@EiteTryHard yes they are. That thing is faster than most supercars from 5-10 years ago....it's like the Dodge Demon. That big fucking hunk of Dodge is faster than a LaFerrari and this also punches well above it's price point, albeit not at the same level.
yea it was cool the first time when bmw put a v10 in the first gen x5, but now that we actually have performance...and I mean performance suvs we realize how wacky it is lol
@@americansmark send me videos of people competing in their X6Ms 😂
@@hunterrrdrives not saying I would...just that "track" versions of such massive vehicles are inherently ridiculous.
1:34 I had this color on a 1997 Audi A8. I don't remember what Audi called it, but I called it "eggplant".
Honestly I think it looks really cool, especially from the rear with those tail lights. Having said that, I've only owned the first and second gen X5Ms.
A million subs boys! 🥳 right on Matt, Zach, and ST crew.
Going to jump on the "don't like the new camera" train. GoPro gives a better sense of what is going on!
These are usually driven by the asshole that will speed up to not let you pass when your 3 cars ahead
Yeah because you drive a Toyota
It's not ugly, but I don't want to be friends with the owner.
This.
Each to his own. I wouldn’t drive it if it were free. I’d sell it and buy something that didn’t make me puke a little bit every time I approached it.
It's ugly...
Exactly. If you pick this over an M5, I would like for you to stay the hell away from me.
The regular X6 is ugly, in person this isn't so bad, neighbor has this exact spec X6M in fact and it's actually pretty nice looking. Another neighbor has a new M5 Competition also and honestly it's kind of bland, at least in white, if you didn't know what it was you wouldn't pay attention to it. That being said another person in here has an X7 M50i in that real nice blue and that's what I am picking every time over this.
Cool. Thanks for posting! Love the color on this one.
Loving the Two Takes, guys, keep it up!
Fixed camera, please.
Am I on drugs or is the exterior shot different than normal?
The camera made me dizzy
...rotating camera...
10:08 - as the proud owner of a '79 Lincoln Continental Mark V, I absolutely agree with this statement matching PLC with sloping-roof SUVs. Well done.
Ummm... that looks....different😕
Cool review as always. A practical benefit of all these sloping hatchbacks versus the standard ones is that most of them allow opening the trunk with a hitch mounted bike rack in its vertical position. Huge practical benefit for cyclists. From the happy owner of a 440 GC.
I really like the bracing in the engine bay
I've always appreciated the unique styling of the X6.
Me too specially the lumma and hamnn bodkits
ruclips.net/video/33AP0JnXSOA/видео.html lol looks similar
@@robertbassett9461 Not even close. Lol
Thank god Zach’s back lately...I never thought I’d say this but I actually think I get way more useful information out of Zachs reviews than I do Matt’s. Interesting how taste can change so drastically in just a matter of a year or 2
This gives the Pontiac Aztec a run for its money in the looks (or lack thereof) department.
Also, whatever is going on with the panning camera angle needs to stop.
The camera seems to be mounted on an electronic gimbal / stabilizer which will try to smoothly turn the camera even during quick maneuvers. I bet that they forgot to turn up the motor strength ("sport mode") which would have improved the movement dramatically and will still provide a way better image than just having the camera mounted to the windshield alone.
Pontiac Aztec? not even close
The single individual driving these type of cars is accurate now that I think about it. Matt hit the nail on the head again lol I used to work with a Doctor who had an X6 M he fits the type of person u expect to see driving these cars
Good vidio - would you pick this or jag f pace svr
I will never understand buying a 5.000lbs car unless it's a luxury sedan or actual truck
not sure why it is important that you understand?
@@sin-enithuigim5197 ok i can understand that, but in my mind it still doesn’t really make sense. I mean, to each their own ofc, but to me this just seems like a less practical X5 or a way too bulky 5 series touring (depending on your exact purpose for the car)
@@sin-enithuigim5197 in that case I can understand. As long as you’re happy, I suppose. Here in the Netherlands we have no purpose or even space for cars like this and especially not for American trucks. So they’re mostly just status symbols, hence my resentment
Matt what’s the ride quality like in comparison to f-pace svr? My svo svr keeps getting delayed so looking for v8 alternatives
Oh man lol these two takes are the best. Keep doing your thing guys!!
Thanks! Will do!
Hey Matt! When can we get another Ferrari 328 video?! I love the long format talks about it.
3.6 zero to sixty stock is crazy fast knowing how heavy this suv is, good job bmw
This vehicle really looks like what concept cars looked like and anticipated in the late 80s & 90s.
I remember concept designs with oversized rims then profile with that crossover look.
Basically on/off road track monsters.
Would you take this M6 to the spot you took the Bronco & Defender? Drive fast off road...?
Good thing I read that the camera angle was a mistake before I watched the video 😂😂
Love the X6M, I have to get one when the price comes down to 70k ish 😅😅
“Its like sim racing...” OUCH. THATS NOT A COMPLIMENT 😆🤣😂
I think that's the point
@@the-boring-car-guy Right... Right......
Anyone know what road this is
holy f you were movin. that thing is capable of so much more than expected 😂😂
Older BMWs: The ultimate driving machine.
Modern BMWs: Is far from pretty, but insanely fast.
🤷♂️😂
gratz on the mil
I saw a well-preserved E30 3-series in a parking lot, that's when BMW's were great
I really want to see your thoughts on an Alfa Stelvio Quadrifoglio. Seeing that you are so impressed by these SUVs and that Levante Trofeo from last year. That car really deserves the exposure to your audience. It's smaller and lighter than the other fast SUVs as well as has more Ferrari influence than any of them. It's also a little more sorted than the Giulia.
Didn't they already?
@@Heyitsallgoodman no Matt spoke about driving a 4 cylinder Stelvio on the podcast but never made a one take. There’s only a Giulia QV one take.
That back view reminds me of a drunk transformer....
The rotating camera made my nauseas as fuck and gave a confusing perspective... it trailed off towards the edge of the corner and was very unnatural to watch. you look towards the apex when turning in, and this camera points away from it. super weird.
Non-Comp also comes with the strut tower brace
3:45 lift off oversteer 👌🏼😝
What brand sunglasses are those ??
What have they done to the steering wheel..
With all these really powerful suv's out in the market now, how cool would a suv race series be🤔
A normal Jersey plate? Usually if you see a jersey tag it’s a dealer tag.
I saw one of those today and it did NOT sound like that. Had the badging and everything. Shenanigans!
Lmao I thought it was just me getting nauseous with the camera angle. Jesus Christ +1 @ all the other comments saying how bad it is... It's really bad 😅😂😂
“Big... cans.” 😂
Camera almost made me sick to my stomach!
Matts riding a multistrada now! Lets get some motorcycle 1 takes!!!!
We sorely miss 60fps in these vids as well (and yes, rotating camera is going 'wrong way' for the direction g load).
The camera footage is quite choppy 🤔 love the car tho although I’m no BMW fanboy 😊
When I'm going around a corner I don't want to see the rocks, I don't understand why somebody would want that camera
Not a fan of the rotating camera guys, great video otherwise.
There are videos on youtube of the newest x5m being tracked and actually performing really well and gassing a lot of cars there. It obviously doesn't make as much sense as tracking an m5 but who doesn't want to track their family suv?! It's essentially the competition with the Lamborghini Urus, and if you watch videos on thererace, it keeps up very well!
Is this a 360 degree camera?
The x6 is the sole reason this vehicle category exists. It looks great, it kills the competition and it evolves gen after gen. Period!
That sounds absolutely incredible.
Are you commenting in the wrong video?
@@gustavoflorio5383no. Some of us like these. I also like Mercedes AMG 4 cylinders and bro trucks. 🤷♂️
Nice. Made it just in time
That color is FANTASTIC, that's about it though
Drove one two days ago and thought it was pretty jarring but the roads in Oklahoma suck. Very fast, numb handling and needs ceramics. More go than brakes. Coming from F80 and G07 owner.
So many cars today look like the caricatures of cars that developers used to put in video games because they couldn't secure the license to use the real ones
*GTA*
Cruisin USA/ World
For $130k, E63 AMG wagon would be my one car choice.
X6M.... Competition? People are actually racing these things?
dont you know about the BMW X-Cup... it´s a big thing here in Germany ;-)
@@trafalgalaw777 in the states they never bring these SUVs on track
You guys are crazy this is one of the sexiest suv’s on the market..
please have dash camera have at least 60fps
I still love it… yes it’s quirky in the back but I don’t like to have what everyone else has.
Matt, for the love of h moser & cie, please listen to the other comments about the camera.
I kinda like the front end. Really weird rear end and the gap between the rear fender and the wheels is an eye sore.
They still make directional tires?
Blizzaks are directional
You guys are nuts- the x6 is easily the best looking sloped back suv on the market
Camera comments aside if I wanted a 4 door SUV Coupe (I don't), I think that Cayenne GTS with the houndstooth seats is going to take the cake over this awful thing.
The RS Q8 is like a super aggressive, huge RS3. Which is a good thing I guess.
good review gents
Much appreciated
Kudos to Zack for not blinking when back came around.
I trust Matt 1000%! - ZK
I think the older ones are cooler even though they’re slower - whatever the last version that had hydraulic steering was is shockingly fun and just as comfortable as almost any luxury SUV
Im not eaven sure why i am watching this the corola was more intresting to me than this
What's with the camera, I've never been car sick but this is making me nauseous!
I dk if it's just the lighting, but it looks like that dinosaur from Jurrasic Park II ran into the side of it.
That’s a face only a mother could love
The rotating camera really makes me feel like this car has the worst steering ever.
I think the camera would be ok if it was looking into the corner instead of lagging out from it
Subscribed because Emilia said so
Any vehicle capable of 0-60 in the sub 4sec range that weighs OVER 5000lbs is SCARY AF!!!!
The M5 is sub 3 second
Always liked the looks of the X6 and that you don't see them everywhere. And let's face it the BMW X6 created the coupe style SUV that Porsche, Audi and Mercedes have all copied.
My Wife says it's a Miami Soccer Mom car. I agree.
I actually didn't mind the 360 camera
This makes as much sense as bolting a 1,000-lb. permanent cargo container on top of an M3.
I had to turn this of because of the POV camera - I'm unsure if it was intentional or not, but static is much better!
Unintentional. It was left on that setting after the Ducati review.
No corner apexes were filmed in this video, only trees and canyons
I love this thing. 😢
Sarkis should have gotten this color
Why the hell does something like this have a track mode?
RDB Sarkis wya playaaaa
the new s 550 benz is the 2 door big space for no reason taker
