From what I've heard from owners the new X6M and X5M is super fast. I had the opportunity to drive the X5M and I love how it feels in sport+. Fun car to have I'm sure.

I have a feeling you already know this, but Carlos Lago is no longer with Motor Trend and is now with Edmunds.

This is the worst guy on YT to review a car. I hope MT does a proper review of the X6M.

lame

Wow, at the 3:10 mark the X6 is bouncing back & forth like a drunken sailor.
Doesn't look good to me. This reviewer blows too!

Cracking Car

The X6/X5 M twins are amazing cars. They give me hope for the upcoming M5/M6 twins when they go with X-drive.

They also have managed to give the cars a more distinctive interior and exterior styling treatment vis a vis their normal variants.

My only wish is that they somehow find a solution that drops the suspension so that the gaps in the wheel arches shrink and make the car look more taught and aerodynamically streamlined when the car is on the move.

Just like the hype wagon, Porsche Macan? Minute 3:20
All 3 drivers experienced the same issue.

Smaller, lighter and "Porshe" and it still bounced like crazy and it was not even "drifting" which i would guess is more prone to bounce.

I put KW V3's on my X6 and loved the height/ride. I could see myself in another one day.

Did he mean the car is ugly at the end when he said "a ugly guy cannot call another car ugly "?

Anyone else notice that the X6M was rocking the old HUD? Wonder if that is a pre-production car or destined for different part of world.

Sure LOVE the new HUD!
