It's a bmw 3l diesel with zf transmission, probably the best combination and where you don't spend much if you maintain them...these are not the engines that are used in America that are full of problems and everyone complains about them. I had several cars with this combination from two 530d and an x5 and I probably did more than half a million km with them and had no problems. The problems started recently with the E6 and the particle filters and I am aware of the problem with the old chains and I did changed one at my fisrt 530d but the mechanics are experts in changing them now...it doesn't cost much , it was around 1000€. I have petrol now, even though I do 40k km a year...on how complicated are the new cars now the old diesel BMW are like tanks and easy to fix...you don't want to see what's under the hood of mild hybrid car...

I have a 2010 E71 X6 4.4 V8 twin turbo N63 engine, the engine uses alot of oil and I have to out a bottle in every month. I’ve mentioned this before, but the car was alpine white from factory, but as a tribute for my love of the P38 Range rover 30th Anniversary I had the car professionally re-sprayed in Wimbledon Green Pearl paint, it looks stunning and really makes an entrance, I have the tan leather interior, and installed the new style touch screen which looks factory, not like some cheap aftermarket system that looks out of place. In terms of maintenance I’ve had to change the rear suspension airbags, the anti roll bar and drag links, the suspension bushings, the 4X4 auxiliary shaft, the AC belt, water pump and a few other bits, but at 285,000 kms she is still running great, if you don’t mind putting the oil in it.

One day, he picked me up and my elderly mother for a shopping trip to a specialty store. Try as he might, he couldn't get mom's folding laundry/shopping cart into the back of the X6. Just wouldn't fit. We settled on having it in the backseat. As impractical as a G-Wagon is, at least it'll easily accommodate a folded up cart.

I had an X6 rental in the USA recently for a couple of weeks. In my journal, I referred to it as the Ugly Duckling. The rear visibility was ludicrous - and the cabin, although a nice place to spend time - was not easy to get in - still having to watch bumping my head on entry or exit. It was a major upgrade from the rental company (who had screwed up my booking), so it never felt too bad - but I'd NEVER buy one. I think an X5 would make more sense - but buying an Audi would make the most sense... What on earth happened to BMW's design department? They haven't produced a decent looking car in decades...

Biased much? I agree on the statement about BMW's design, their lead designer Domagoj Dukec is ruining BMW but to say in decades is rather preposterous. The 2021 5 or 8 series are absolutely beautiful, but you wouldn't see that with your Audi glasses on would you. Saying that BMW hasn't produced a decent looking car in decades but preferring an Audi is a bit of an oxymoron. Not to say Audi hasn't produced some decent looking cars but for the most part they're rather boring and most look pretty much the same. A4 and A8 for example.

I don’t really understand the obsession with comparing the X5 & X6. Yes, they share the same platform and engines and the X5 is cheaper with more practicality but that is the same template across every car manufacturer’s line up, more for less of the same. I had a 2011 40D model (mine had 5 seats and a sunroof), I am 6’1 and could sit comfortably in the back and there was loads of boots space which included an ‘under tray’ part that can hold two 10kg suitcases. I find most criticisms of the X6 always centres around cliche waffle as opposed to looking at the car in own individual entity.

We have a number of these parked around Norf London where I am. They are totally impractical for the effluent streets of Muswell Hill! Also they are pretty much despised as mummy can't get seven kids in them. I suspect they are like chalk and cheese, you love them or hate them. It's the reputation they have around my way a well. Usually owned by the local drug dealers and wannabe gangsters.

Had a 72 plate X6 40d for 2 weeks last july, drove really well but much prefer the X5 I owned for 4 years, I do carry passengers. Now have a new X3 petrol, so quiet and rides superbly well.

Why you prefer the x5 over the x6? In style the x6 is far better

I don't understand anyone wanting an X6 to be "different" or making a statement when you can just get an M2/3/4 to stand out for that money.

Very good car. Centre of gravity is low because of fast back. More sporty than harvester X5. I would but it.

I used to think these things were the ugliest ‘blimps’ on the planet….but they’ve actually aged well and look quite modern…a car before it’s time perhaps?..❤

Not for me. I always thought it pointless, ostentatious and impractical. Would be last on my list for a BMW purchase, but each to their own I suppose.

Not a x6 fan, spent a weekend with one and found it uncomfortable, the x5 was a nicer car by far, they do look good though on the plus side
