ABOUT THE 2022 BMW X6 XDRIVE40I
The 2022 BMW X6 xDrive40i is the entry six-cylinder model of the third-generation X6 (G06), in its third model year. It uses BMW’s B58 turbocharged 3.0-litre inline-six with 335 hp and 330 lb-ft (450 Nm), paired with an eight-speed automatic and xDrive all-wheel drive. BMW quoted 0–60 mph in 5.3 seconds.
Mid-cycle and largely unchanged
By 2022 the G06 was established, and changes for the year were mainly to equipment and packages rather than mechanicals. The xDrive40i sat below the V8 X6 M50i and the X6 M and X6 M Competition. The US version has a conventional petrol powertrain without mild-hybrid assistance; the 48-volt system arrived with the facelift for the 2024 model year.
Design and practicality
The X6 is essentially an X5 with a fastback roofline, sharing its 2,975 mm wheelbase. That shape trades some rear headroom and boot height for a sportier profile, so buyers who need maximum space usually choose the X5. Like the X5 and X7, it is built in Spartanburg, South Carolina, and it seats five. M Sport styling was common on US cars, along with large alloy wheels.
Buying one today
The B58 is regarded as a strong engine, though commonly reported items include coolant-system leaks and oil-filter-housing gasket seepage. Large wheels and performance tyres make replacement tyres expensive, and the optional air suspension should be checked for leaks or warning messages.
Rivals
Rivals included the Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 Coupe, Porsche Cayenne Coupe and Audi Q8.
