Regional BMW Announces pricing on X6 Sports Activity Coupe

[Bartek S.]

BMW's new X6 is creating its own market segment aimed at customers wanting the go-anywhere utility of an SUV combined with the stylish elegance of a BMW coupe. The X6 delivers a commanding ride height, spacious interior accessed by five doors, and two cutting-edge twin-turbo engines.

The X6 xDrive35i is motivated by the automakers 3.0 liter inline six engine with direct injection technology and twin turbochargers to deliver a potent 300 horsepower and 300 lb.-ft of torque. The award-winning engine will help deliver 0-60 in about 7 seconds, driving all four wheels through a six-speed automatic.

Also available is the X6 xDrive50i, with a 4.4 litre V8 that also utilizes twin turbos and variable camshaft management. The mill delivers 400 horsepower and a massive 450 lb.-ft of torque, making it the most powerful "X" model in BMW's lineup. Both twin-turbo engines are designed to deliver serious performance alongside very respectable fuel mileage.

BMW's latest gadget makes its debut on the X6 lineup as well. Dynamic Performance Control works with the automatic XDrive AWD system and enhances vehicle handling dynamics by controlling the rear-wheel torque split as it sees best for the situation. It's also able to multiply the torque to either rear wheel to help steer the vehicle.

Pricing starts at $63,900 for the X6 xDrive35i which hits dealerships next week. The X6 xDrive50i starts at $78,100 and goes on sale later this summer.

2008 X5 3.0si - 61,900
2008 X5 4.8i - 73,500

2009 X6 xDrive35i - 63,900 (+3.23%)
2009 X6 xDrive50i - 78,100 (+6.26%)


... not bad pricing considering both X6s have new engines.

Maybe the X6s have less standard equipment!? I wonder what would be the difference when similaraly equiped?!

Those prices are not correct. The pricing on the BMW USA site says that the 35i will start at $53,275, while the 50i is estimated at $63,775 (destination charge included).

If BMW do in fact make the 50i start at $78,000, I would find that completely ridiculous t-crazy2 and buy another vehicle. At that price, it'll be THAT serious, considering I've been closely following this vehicle these past few seasons now.

My heart has yet to impair my judgement, and the X6 will be no different. BMW better not make me sing another sad love song, just to get over them the following day--

lol 105K here for the 35i ... now that is expensive .. bearing in mind we have no taxes nor customs (4% at max) .... only stupid exchange rates are killing us. Derham is tied to the dollar and inflation exceeded 12% last year

Whoops (sigh of relief)

Thanks for pointing that out, EnI.

105,000 Maserati? I am not savvy when it comes to currency values, but isn't the dollar weaker than these two currencies (or equal to)? I would have thought that the X6 would be higher b/c of the weakning dollar in the States, no?

Yes, that is the same list I have printed out since Feb. that sits on my desk attached to my clipboard. I've tallied up all extra costs and reviewed all packages to determine what final pricing range I will have.
