BMW of New London

Overview

An all new ultrahigh-performance version of the X6 luxury crossover, the 2010 BMW X6 M seats four and offers a well-sculpted exterior and an all new technologically-equipped interior. The elegant, sporty, and powerful, the 2010 BMW X6 M is ingenuously different and is out to script a new legacy in terms of craftsmanship, performance, and automotive innovation.

Power and performance

Like its sibling the X5 M, the X6 M is motivated by the first ever M Power 4.4-liter 32-valve V-8 Turbo engine good for 555 hp and 500 lb-ft of torque and comes fully equipped with M Dynamic Performance Control for impressive handling. It is equipped with a 6-speed M Sports automatic transmission with paddle shifters. The M Sports transmission offers three modes: Drive, Sport, and M Manual Shift. It sprints from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.7 seconds and tows up to 6,600 pounds when properly equipped -- a highly unusual pair of strengths, BMW claims. The mileage details stand at 13 mpg city/18 mpg highway and 14 mpg combined.
