2021 BMW X6 M50i 4dr SUV AWD (4.4L 8cyl Turbo 8A)
Total performance is nothing short of outstanding. The X6 M50i maintains a high standard of performance for anyone looking for luxury, power, and sex appeal. This X6 M50i continually maintains a high state of operational and material readiness.
Amazing

2020 BMW X6 M50i 4dr SUV AWD (4.4L 8cyl Turbo 8A)
You may want a-lot of power but you wont need it. And it burbles when you shift at the right moment. Has a-lot of space and the sleek look makes everything look 10 times better. You can gap people easily if you race and it keeps up with a M850 at first. Downside is its not the best for really long road trips for the driver.

Love the ride, firm but comfortable. Double personality, and never out of power. Fuel economy not as bad for an 8 cylinder: up to 24 mpg of highway drive. Love it !
