The X6 M starts with a turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 engine (567 horsepower, 553 pound-feet of torque) paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive.

Standard feature highlights include 21-inch wheels, high-performance tires, adaptive suspension dampers, a rear air suspension, BMW's active roll stabilization, a panoramic sunroof, front and rear parking sensors, a power liftgate, adaptive xenon headlights, LED foglights, power-folding mirrors, automatic wipers, adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, low-speed automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring and lane departure warning.

Interior highlights include heated power-adjustable front seats, leather upholstery, a power-adjustable steering wheel, 40/20/40-split folding rear seatbacks, four-zone climate control, a leather-wrapped dash, and ambient cabin lighting. You also get BMW's iDrive interface (10.2-inch display, center console controller), a navigation system, a yearlong trial subscription to Apple CarPlay, a 16-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, satellite and HD radio, a CD player, and BMW's suite of smartphone-integrated connected services called ConnectedDrive.

The Executive package includes features such as adaptive LED headlights, an automated parking system, surround-view parking cameras, power-closing doors, a heated steering wheel, heated rear seats, rear side window shades, a head-up display, wireless smartphone charging and a Wi-Fi hotspot.
