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.

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.

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 !
