Buying the 2017 BMW X6
CarmaCars rents cars; this page helps you judge the 2017 BMW X6 before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. For anyone shopping for the 2017 BMW X6, here are the facts that matter.
Recalls and complaints
There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Owners filed 3 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, child seat and engine; have those parts checked. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
The numbers in plain words
Power comes from the 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo, driving through an 8-speed automatic. 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.
It is rated 11.3 L/100 km combined: about 34 litres every 300 km. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $19.78 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,900 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who the X6 suits
It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Practical details
The higher seat of a full-size SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic.
Rent it for a week first
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Rent the X6 for a week and see how it fits your life. A test week in the X6 tells you more than any review.
Which one to look for
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Within the 2017 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
The cost of driving it
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$3,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
Next step
A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.
