THE QUESTION NOBODY ASKED GETS A SECOND ANSWER
What is it?
It's BMW's bold, baffling X6 tall-coupe, defying both convention and confusion to survive a second generation -- owing to the 255,000 global citizens who, since 2008, have decided "Yes! This is the urban assault vehicle for me!"
Two hundred thousand customers over six years might be a drop in the bucket for BMW. But the X6 -- as a bold fashion statement, as a branding breakthrough, and as an alt-X5 from the Palmetto State -- was evidently worth a second chance. This new-for-2015 example expands on what they already love, starting with better mileage and culminating in grotesque displays of power. The X6 we get first is the xDrive50i: a clumsy and slightly inaccurate moniker that belies a 4.4-liter V8 with twin turbochargers and 445 hp -- more than the outgoing big V8. An xDrive35i, available next spring, gets 300 hp from its single-turbo, 3.0-liter, inline-six; it will start at $61,900. In Europe, BMW claims that the X6 xDrive50i uses 22 percent less fuel -- American EPA figures haven't yet been released.
