It's a good choice for a daily driver. We just talked about this in our last podcast.

Nice to hear - may I ask what you think of the muted exhaust. Does it bother you ?

It looks like they are being tuned to an excess of 700 horsepower.

Did your car have problem with steering rack? I'm using X6M60i 2024 right now too.

It's a useful feature

It is one of the best M Performance models today

OK 4 1/2 minutes... I'm out.

Congratulations. Good choice on the color

you should be worried.. its sounds like an inline 6.. at best!!!!

Have a model in the same color. Picked up a couple weeks ago. Sound is underwhelming will admit. That being said last night coming back from a hockey game a guy rolled up to us on the highway in a 4 series (couldn't tell the model as he was debadged) and wanted to roll race. Could tell he had some money in the vehicle due to the sound (crackling farty exhaust at least). Fed him his late night dinner haha. He gave us a thumbs up and we went on our way. If you value sound above all else of this vehicle you might want to look at a different vehicle. If you value performance this vehicle will NOT disappoint. Given the option between sounding fast and being fast I will choose being fast all day every day and my neighbors don't hate me either.

I'd be driving the vast majority in EV mode, so caring about the sound is moot.

No, feels different in a good way

Why not the 50e? Curious

@@bmwblog I work remote 100% so I don’t drive much. The 50e, while very nice, has air suspension and I do not like it. There is a known issue on both Bimmerpost and FB groups where some owners are getting faulty coolant valves for the hybrid system that lock in the On or Off position. This causes coolant to either freely flow to the battery’s or the battery’s so not get any coolant. Obviously this is a huge problem. To compound, the part is only made in Germany and is currently back ordered so people are either without a vehicle or have a loaner for 2 months. This may be the last gen of a V8 and I figured it may hold more value in the long run (very minor consideration). Extra power/firmer suspension without going full M. Real M engine. Carbon fiber trim. Marina Bay Blue color. Independent Rear Steering. 40 HP temporary boost mode. It was a tough decision and from a practicality stand point the 50e wins, I would probably go to a gas station once every 2-3 months. Ultimately, the smiles per gallon of the M60 won out.

Any reason why? For sportiness?

I feel M Suspension Pro (old DHP) is a must have for M60i@@bmwblog

@@connie8821 What suspension to get with X6 60i? I want soft and manageable. What is the mileage you get? Is it atrocious ?

@@borghorsa1902 suspension is just like mattress with personal taste, I got the M suspension pro which is not as squishy as air but definitely not uncomfortable, the major benefit other than great handling with less body roll that you can feel it when it is cornering which drives just like a 3 series sedan and in a sense actually more comfortable with near zero rolling when changing lane and cornering , this is great especially when you have car sick passenger, in long term pro suspension has enhanced suspension structure and material to accommodate intense driving which is more durable comparing to the air that needs to be repaired or replaced at certain age :)

@@bmwblog Absolutely for sportiness. It makes a big difference in corners.

Insanely fast!

It's likely the msrp went up since last time we checked it. But crazy either way

@@bmwblogMSRP has not gone up since at least July, base price is $89,300.

I think it's part of the premium package

Everything on German cars is an option.

You have to buy the climate package to get the heated steering wheel.

Will try to get an answer on B&W.As far as X6 50e, I was told a while back that it would be low demand.

@bmwblog thanks! You'd think they would want to since Porsche has several versions of the Cayenne e-hybrid coupe. I would absolutely be interested in an X6 50e, but will be looking at the Porsche instead since that exists and the bimmer doesn't. I would also think that the XM would have an even lower demand than an X6 50e, but they made that.

Lack of time, honestly.

I guess they wanna go towards Digital Touch screens

Agreed

Hmm, interesting comparison. But it should be. In the end, it has the air suspension

@@bmwblog it’s not comparison. I plan what to buy for a next car and I want it to be more comfy

All controls were on? Because it doesn't make sense honestly. Summer tires in the cold maybe?

@@bmwblog made sure all unnecessary controls were off and this issue persists from the time I go the car which was last summer.

This makes ZERO sense. Mine is absolute perfection above 100 mph even.

:) Why? That V8 does sound good

Which reviews? Cause the US spec sounds good

Sort of the general consensus I got reading and watching all the videos I could find. Seems like m50’s of last generation sounded significantly better. I am in the US. Does it sound better than the EU version?

Not anytime soon
