The BMW X6 is a mid-size luxury crossover SUV released for sale in the second quarter of 2008 by German automaker BMW. The X6 combines the attributes of an SUV (high ground clearance, all wheel drive and all-weather ability, large wheels and tires) with the stance of a coupé (bold head-turning style, dramatic sloping roof).

It is built in BMW's North American plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina alongside the BMW X5 who's platform it shares. It is dubbed "Sports Activity Coupé" by BMW, and while slightly longer and wider than the X5 is significantly lower and seats only four people. The concept model debuted at the 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show. The production X6 officially debuted at the 2008 Detroit International Auto Show. A hybrid version, which will be the first such vehicle from BMW, was also announced.

Initially, the BMW X6 is available in two variants. Both use twin-turbocharged engines. The top-of-the-line model is the xDrive50i which uses an all-new 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine. It produces 407 horsepower (303 kW) between 5,500 and 6,400 rpm, and 600 Nm (443 ft·lbf) of torque over a wide range of between 1,800 and 4,500 rpm. It is the first turbocharged V8 engine in the world to feature its turbochargers between the V section in the middle of the two banks of cylinders.

The other model is the X6 xDrive35i powered by the N54 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged inline-six gasoline engine, producing 306 horsepower (228 kW) between 5,800 and 6,250 rpm, and a peak torque of 400 Nm (295 ft·lbf) between 1,400 and 5,000 rpm. This engine also sees duty in the 1, 3 and 5 Series BMW cars.

Two diesel variants are also planned, called the xDrive30d and xDrive 35d, respectively. They are powered by BMW's 3.0-liter turbodiesel engine (in its sequential twin-turbocharged variant for the xDrive35d), and output 235 hp (xDrive30d) and 286 hp (xDrive 35d). The second of these power units will form the basis of BMW's Diesel launch in 50 USA states late in 2008.
