Buying the 2008 BMW X6
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2008 BMW X6 for sale by us right now. Thinking about the 2008 BMW X6? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
Recalls and complaints
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. There are 9 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. NHTSA has 5 owner complaints on file, mostly about air bags, electrical system and electronic stability control (esc).
What the figures tell you
The powertrain to know here is the 3.0L 6-cylinder, with all-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.
By the EPA's combined rating of 13.8 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 41 litres. In money, 1,000 km costs about $241.50 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$4,850 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Best uses
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people.
What to expect from the X6
Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height. Length: 4.90 m. Check the size of a tight parking spot. The trunk holds 736 litres by the EPA's count: bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
A longer test drive
Rent the X6 first, and buy only if it fits your life. Drive the X6 on your commute before you commit to it. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Which one to look for
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
The cost of driving it
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $241.50 at our price setting. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
Next step
Ask us anything about renting before you buy.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2008 BMW X6 from us first.
