BMW X6 - E71 (2008 to 2014)

The first generation of BMW X6, known as the E71, was introduced for the 2008 model year. It combined xDrive all-wheel drive with a sporty body and a sloping roofline, giving it a distinctive silhouette. It offered six and eight cylinder engines, both gasoline and diesel, along with 6 or 8 speed automatic transmissions, standing out for its dynamic handling and stability thanks to the Dynamic Performance Control system. Its interior featured premium materials, advanced technology for the time, and a focus on sportiness rather than cargo capacity. The X6 E71 established itself as a groundbreaking model that fused luxury, power and bold design, laying the foundation for the successful high-performance SUV coupe segment. At Classic.com we only track down the BMW E71 X6 M variant. Built until 2014, the E71 was replaced by the F16 for the 2015 model year.
