Weirdly, I'm a big fan of the looks

You have no appreciation for this beauty. This is one of the greatest Coupe SUV’s ever made and this is the only review I’ve watched that frowns on the insane engineering and work that went through making it. Your opinion about looks or whatever are up to you but cannot deny that the x6m competition is a piece of art, at least in terms of its mechanics. For me this is one of the best looking cars TO DATE.

Always great to hear your thoughts on cars Joe 👍

Nice video Joe... I love the x6m shape, maybe I’m weird but it has so much presence

Just as car enthusiasts continue to say "I don't get why people buy this" or "why would you ever buy a heavy SUV that has this kind of power/speed" I continue to say, why not? As a daily? Bring it on! 1) Many of us are not in a financial position where we can afford both a true sports car and a car that we can haul around the family/groceries etc...We have ONE car to purchase and when buying an X3M/X4M/X6M etc... it allows us to somewhat enjoy the power of a sports car and the practicality of an SUV. 2) For many of us, we get snow, and lots of it. Unfortunately, buying an M3 or M2 Comp is not going to do the job (even with snow tires). We might be able to enjoy the car throughout the spring/summer but in the Midwest, once fall/winter hits its cold weather, wet weather, and snow. The 2021 M3 w/ xDrive is something I would pounce at if it was available, but since it wont be until end of '21, we're left with less options if we're looking at M cars. 3) These vehicles are absolute monsters and actually quite fun to drive on the main road. Many of us are not going to the track so why not be able to enjoy an everyday daily and the performance it brings along with it? Sure it is not the smoothest ride, but personally I quite enjoy that stiff sport feeling. There's nothing like dusting a C8 corvette as it tries to gain traction when you take off in an X3M Comp :) With that aside, keep up the good work, Joe!

Getting into the car with those muddy shoes is triggering my ocd

What an intro! Seeing that behemoth dance like that is spectacular. Great video Joe, like always👍🏽

Another awesome video Joe. Thanks for sharing with us all. keep them coming. All the best mate.

I honestly like both the x5m and x6m equally

Awesome video Joe. Tonnes of angles and effort into this. 👌

Joe love to hear your thoughts on cars always look forward to your uploads you should be on top gear, 😉👍

Another great review Joe. Can wait to see you new M3 review.

Still trying to track down Harry for a race on the B4437, lol. Great review as always Joe.

Again good job! Do you see any chance to drive the new LCI G30 Alpina B5? I think they are now also available in the UK now. Great channel. Keep up the good work!

Great video Joe! That X6M Sounds great!!

Very good review Joe. You never disappoint.

By far IMO the best reviewer of any car these days great work Joe.

I’d have an x6 any day over the x5 or 4 if I had the need - I like its style as unique but I would just go for a 30d version

Excellent Joe. Just signed the deal on a new X5M Comp with that ultimate pack so I'm pleased you prefer it over the X6M Comp. Thanks for another revealing and honest vid. Best on RU-vid. Simon

Another great vid Joe. Personally I like the look 👍

Good point on X5M making more sense than X6M That said, other reviews of the X6M I've seen/read didn't find the ride especially nervous. Firm yes, but not to the point of being unusable!

Hi Joe, always find it funny when you get in these cars that dont fit you!! I am lucky I am 5'4 and fit in all cars!!! Great vid buddy stay safe!!

Love your videos, Its interesting how you talking about that car in the beginning of the video but its also amazing to hear how the ton of your vice change as soon you Lounch and drive that amazing machine. 😂 I had 2 x6. The ultimate driving machine 😎

Always think you do a great product on your channel Joe. Ever considered doing a sideline of something like a 3.0L CSL (BatMobile) type of car from the early days?

Joe your reviews are pure class. Appreciate the honest and entertaining commentary

Super honest video mate! As always you make alot of sense....but f#@k me.... 3.6 to 60 in the damp???!!! Ohhhh my

Hello Joe, first of all congratulations for the channel, great content, I was watching the tests of the bmw X5 M Competition and the X6 M Competition, if you were to choose one of them, which one would it be, which one did you like best and why.

These are loved to bits in east europe. I think they are inteded more to those markets. Great video as always.

Well, here's one of those people. I love it, all of it! ❤️ I sat in the back of an X6 (I drive an X3) a couple of months ago and I'm 5'11". You must have had that driver's seat fully back to have a problem. And if you have two adults behind you, then let the smaller of the two sit behind the driver. Your comment about the driving and ride quality is well founded. The X Competition series is renowned for being nervous and uncomfortable. Great review, bravo 👏

Big thanks for good content )

Thanks for your honest opinion. :)

This car defines the meaning of Sports Utility Vehicle

Another good review Joe. I've watched alot of your BM reviews and I think BMW could do with watching some as you dont seem to be impressed with the ride quality on any of the newer models except the M5 and M2 comp. Loved your latest one with your 7 too. Look forward to the next one.

I really like your honest review: thanks!

Thanks for the review & explaining the BOTB. I initially thought it was an acronym for Bottom Of The Barrel (depicting your feelings about the X6). We all know what BYOB means. But kids are creating a whole new language via txt that's hard to keep up with. Sorry Joe, I know this comment is off topic but it's always great seeing you review vehicles (and M cars). Can u review Shmarks' redesigned M2Comp sometime?

Good to see you in west Oxfordshire. Shame didn’t see you in my M3 👍🏻

Thanks for the great review Joe. I guess I'm one of the few who actually love the coupe look🔥 I'm gonna own this car. That's a promise to myself that I'm gonna keep no matter what. I love it!!!💯

Say what you want about the X6, I have NEVER seen a car with more presence on the road than this

I like that you are so honest even if you are a great BMW fan and i love the way you present cars 😊

Give me the X5M anyday! 🤷🏻‍♂️ great video as always though Joe 👍🏼👍🏼

First clip I also thought the rear end had been caved in. 😂 Thanks for sharing 👍

Love your channel, at 0:05 in, I thought that was a shot of a big dent in the LR panel. Nope, a design cue. Never cared much for this model of bmw, as one auto journalist coined, ‘bmw’s answer to the question never asked.’ Ok, that’s funny, many people like it though, and it sells, cool beans. In it’s defense, real exhaust tips unlike audi. 👊🏻 Through reviews as always. Loved your 52.7 mpg 900 mile 7 series video. Gorgeous car, paint, etc.

A great honest review, respect is due, all I can say is thank goodness I don't own any SUV... especially these alleged sporting versions... now that's a nice comment , so I will leave it there.

LOVE

Really surprised that the x5m handles so differently to the x6m. I’ve heard about this before on the previous mode but wasn’t sure it was true. As for the “tramline” effect of the steering, yeah it feels so scary at first to drive this car fast on bumpy roads. But you get used to it over time and afterwards you don’t want to go back to cars that don’t have this extra “feel” for the road. X6m owner myself. I’d say the only time I don’t like the overly sporty set up of this car is when covering very long distances in one day (500 miles etc), by the end of the journey you just want a regular soft x6. But for all other times I drive mine, I absolutely wouldn’t take anything else. Wondering just much different the x5m is in terms of suspension and steering feel ?

Great video Joe! 👌🏻 why indeed... the X5M does everything this does but better and looks better. Personally preference is a funny thing 👍🏻

Great video as always, it’s one of them cars i just don’t get coupe SUV what’s the point 🤷‍♂️

Good honest (almost brutally!) review.

Ooh I like the Michelin jacket! Where did you get it from?

It’s like asking why they make 2 doors cars when 4 doors is more practical. Can we just love the fact that they giving us more choice. And I like the x6M The back could have been better tho but it’s not too bad Thanks for the vids man, really appreciate it

Could you compare suspension of this new X6M with previous generation X6M? Is it less comfortable or more or less the same?

I love it. Even the rear. 😍

Would this be a good daily driver? Also does it come standard with ambient lighting?

Harry Metcalfe says 1st, can't shift on that road for folk "testing" cars

The rear end of the 1ste generation X6 was much better looking than the current generation. It had a sportier, more menacing look.

Haha almost loses the back end in that first clip..! Epic machine though 👏🏽

Welcome to the club on the visuals.

X6M looks so much better. Back in 2008 Nobody believes it will succeed. But E71 X6M actually outsold the E70 X5M. That proves when people buy a super SUV. They more likely want them to look more exciting than normal style SUV. In certain areas X6m is the spirit of BMW: To do something others have never done before. 2015 GLE63s came in to compete in this segment. And Urus, Cayenne turbo coupe are also trying to copy X6M because people love the idea of high performance SUV coupe. Maybe X5M fits lots of car guys who want to keep it low. (not trying to draw attentions) But man X6M really turn heads. I wouldn't even look at some Lambos or Ferraris on the street. But when I see an X6M I always give the owner a thumb up.

That intro was sick

0:05 mans almost threw the car into the bush😂

When you have money to buy these, nothing has to make sense if you like it you can buy it, if you don’t like it look away to what you do like. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Another enjoyable video Joe. Prefer the X5 the X6 styling is a very limited audience appeal. In fact the X5 45e is the pick of the bunch on the market from BMW given UKs 2030 deadline on ICEs

Absolutely love the back

Great review again . Why people buy this shap suv i still can't understand too. Mec has one too . There must be ugly ducklings in every manufacturer. Keep.safe Joe .

Hi Joe, loved your video once again as always! I have a question regarding the m140i or the old 135i. Do you think these cars will increase in value next year due to their rarity and the fact that they may be the last of the 6 cyl rwd bmw hatchbacks. Keep up the good work Joe 💪👍

I changed my 325-30-21s from runflats and it handles so much better a lot less twitchy and doesn’t tramline any more.

Grew up with wagons, but you can't get them here in the States 🗽 anymore 😤. The X4 platform works for my taste and needs. Wish the X4/X6 came with a solid Carbon Fiber Roof to lighten it up, don't need or want a panoramic moonroof, also want a Trailer Hitch included. The BMW Exterior Design Team definitely needs an enema. ✌🏻

I don't really like BMW cars but this monster looks awesome! Even from the back. It was interesting too see someone's opinion about the back of the car. Great video by the way!

The rear looks just fine joe, it looks modern and smooth.

Don't agree re, looks, I prefer it over the X5, I would also go for the M50d, as much Torque with better comfort, however, I'm only dreaming..

Enstone! The very early days of learning to J turn a Mk 2 Polo :p

Who needs an Urus when you have a BMW X6M Competition.

It is all subjective which means it comes down to "different strokes for different folks". The fact that you can't understand why someone would spend the money to buy this car is in fact the reason why people would spend the money to buy this car.

Think I'm gonna go buy some skinny Jean's now, bloody influencers eh 😁

I prefer to buy a used X4 20d xdrive as it is a nice size for me.

Sounds like Mike @ Motech needs to work his magic on that suspension set up.

Joe, as someone who appreciates BMW engineering - a fanboy, your words - it's refreshing to hear your honest take on the X6 M Comp. I found it very insightful that you recommended the Audi RS Q8 as a more confidence building and comfort inducing alternative. I was also wondering what your confidence level is in terms of drive trains? Don't get me wrong, BMW's V8 performance is impressive, but the N63 has had a notorious history of reliability issues. I own a couple Audi's (S5, Q5) and was looking to move to a midsize performance SUV/coupe. I like the look - don't ask me why?! - of the humpback X6 - especially in the M50i trim: it's interior cabin accommodations, sans the rear seat room are premo! But I lack confidence in the durability of it's hot vee twin turbo v8. The SQ8/RSQ8 is beautiful but lacking many premium interior amenity options. The Porsche Cayenne S/GTS have most of the features at a very steep price though. Merc has suspended production of majority of its biturbo v8 production (to N America). Are you confident in the durability of the VWG/Audi/Porsche twin-turbo hot vee V8s? If one were to go with six cylinders, one can't argue build quality of BMW's I6 (B58, etc) over the V6 competition. Keep up the great content!!!

Which make are you jeans Joe? Good review BTW.

If for some reason you want a super SUV like the Urus but don't quite have enough, forget the RSQ8, get one of these... 🤷🏽‍♂️ I'd still say a super saloon/estate is the better thing to get tho 😂

Horrible car but what a weapon! Feels weird watching you send it in something so big.

Ah Joe, I was waiting for the gestures again.

Joe ..Wish you would do a review on the 2021 BMW X4m , I’d like to hear your opinion on it thinking about buying one. 😊

I love everything about x6m that's a beast ❤️

Lovely looking vehicle

BOTB is only for uk residents? Edit: registered and played, fingers crossed

This is the most accurate portrayal of the X6M I have ever seen.

Hi Joe I love your videos what tyres can you put on a m235i 2016 reg? I want Michelin ps4s but can only find the them for the front. My tyre fitters can only get ps4 not the ps4s for the rears? Is this correct? Thanks mate

So do you hold this view for the other performance SAVs where there is a standard SUV? Cayenne Turbo coupe, RSQ8, GLE63.... I remembered you liked the RSQ8. Don't get the point of them myself, but is it the X6 or the class in general?

Not a fan of the segment but I enjoyed hearing your insight

Sir, your voice is better with a little microphone device that you use in the back seat. I think you should use it all reviews.

The X6 in general is more like a marketing stunt. Building a car for a specific niche in the market, that doesnt exist... And the "competition" makes no sense as a model name anyway, nothing competetive about the lump of metal

Fastest bus ever!!!😂😂

FYI there’s no difference is suspension setup between X5M and X5M Comp and X6M and X6M Comp. Unlike the M5 and M5 comp there’s no suspension change

Great video joe, but I love the x6 - best 4x4 coupe on the road ........ and of course shared with the x4 🤨

Drive the X6 40i or 50i, you mind will change, trust me. It's insane.

Such an awesome looking thing way more aggressive than the old model

The reason I believe why someone would go for this joe is LOOK AT ME I've got the top of the line performance version. P.s you fitted better in the back the green audi q5 😂

Agree that practicality is too much limited with this car which brings to point why you would need X6 than standard 5 Series sedan. I think only looks, which actually I am big fan of but after comparing it to BMW M5 or 550i it very hard to justify purchase of X6.

I love it a fricking extravagant BEAUTY.
