The recipe for the BMW X6 seems quite simple, take the mechanics, size and stature of a 4×4 and then combine it with the body shell of a coupe, which is designed to seat four people. Surely however, if you have gone through the expense of buying and running a large SUV you would expect that it could carry more people than an averaged sized hatchback. Especially when Volvo XC90 does the job of carrying seven people so well.

Nevertheless BMW believe that the X6 offers the latest evolution in sports utility vehicles combining dynamic excellence with driver enjoyment, and designed to take on rivals in the form of the Porsche Cayenne, Range Rover Sport and Mercedes ML63. However with uncertain petrol prices, high running costs and growing public antipathy towards large 4×4’s many previous SUV owners are returning to more humble hatchbacks and saloons.

Inside the BMW X6, the driver is still afforded the lofty driving position that would be recognised by any 4×4 owner, however it is the performance and handling that provides the biggest surprise. Underneath the bonnet is a 4.4 litre V8 engine, which produces 400 bhp and is able to propel this giant of car to 60 in 5.4 seconds.

When it is time to finally sit down and consider getting another vehicle, there are a lot of things that you truly need to consider. If you are looking into getting a bmw but have never had much experience in driving or owning one, you may want to think about different bmw leasing options. The great thing about going with a bmw leasing option is that you are not stuck with the total purchase price of the car. Since the bmw is very expensive, this may be the only way you could afford to drive such a nice car. If you want to give the bmw a try without committing yourself, your money, and your credit to purchasing a bmw outright, then the bmw leasing option is probably the best way to go. Just make sure that you are looking for a bmw leasing special that fits your individual needs and budget. This is an excellent way to sort of test drive the car for a year or two to even decide if it is something that you would like to have for many more years to come. If you find through your bmw leasing option that you really enjoy the car, there are generally options for purchasing the car outright at the end of your lease terms. (more…)
