Jack of all trades?
A single vehicle can't be everything. When one tries, it tends to do numerous jobs adequately, and few exceptionally. X6 gives a knock-out performance in the styling and performance departments, though it does a few things poorly too.
Visibility out the thin, high-mounted rear window is minimal, and the backup camera is blocked easily by snow and road-spray. Combined with a heavy steering that doesn't lighten up at low-speeds, X6 could feel intimidating for some to park. Hopping on board can require coupe-like finagling of your posture too, even despite the slight lift required to access the cabin.
Life's full of compromise, after all. If you're okay with those mentioned above, there's one more to consider. Should the X6 Xdrive50i ignite your childhood soul and imagination, you'll have to depart with $78,100 to park one in your real-life driveway.
