Mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and BMW’s xDrive all-wheel-drive system, this setup achieves a brisk 0-60 mph sprint in just 5.2 seconds. Despite its power, it offers a competitive 24 mpg combined, 23 MPG city, 26 MPG highway, making it an efficient option in its class.

2025 BMW X6 M60i This performance Coupe SUV is designed to exceed your sportiest expectations with a turbocharged V-8 engine and engineering components created by BMW M.

Power and Performance

The M60i xDrive boasts a beastly twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 producing 523 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque. This powerhouse propels the SUV from 0 to 60 mph in a mere 4.2 seconds. Complementing its immense power are:
