BMW X6 M Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2009–2012) — First Generation
The first-generation BMW X6 M is a five-door performance SUV with coupe-like proportions and M-division hardware. It pairs a gasoline V8, automatic shifting, and all-wheel drive for fast, everyday driving.
The BMW X6 M engine in this generation is a 4.4-liter gasoline V8 mated to a Steptronic automatic. In the 4.4 AT Steptronic example, that powertrain and all-wheel drivetrain let you accelerate hard in the five-door SUV yet stay settled on mixed roads.
BMW X6 M trim levels sit on the 4.4 AT Steptronic technical version, with equipment configurations simply named X6 M. You get the M-specific cabin, chassis, and styling on this five-door SUV rather than a long ladder of separate grade names.
