The 2018 BMW X6 for buyers
No 2018 BMW X6 is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. This page puts the 2018 BMW X6 in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
A buyer's checks
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Owners filed 4 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, service brakes and steering; have those parts checked. There are 4 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done.
Reading the spec sheet
Under the hood: the 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo and rear-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Fuel use is rated 11.3 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 34 litres. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $197.80. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,900 a year for 15,000 miles.
Space, size and seats
The higher seat of a full-size SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic.
When the X6 makes sense
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
A longer test drive
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. A test week in the X6 tells you more than any review.
What it costs to run
The EPA estimates US$3,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
Narrowing it down
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Within the 2018 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
Ready when you are
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 2018 BMW X6 from us first.
