For today's unboxing review we have for you the 2017 BMW X6 xDrive35i. Called a Sports Activity Vehicle by BMW, the X6 is currently in its second generation and it's more popular than ever. Our tester is equipped with all-wheel drive, hence the xDrive name. Power comes courtesy of a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six with 300 hp and 300 lb-ft of torque, which is paired to an 8-speed automatic transmission. If that's not powerful enough for you, there's also the xDrive50i and its 4.4-liter turbo V8 with 445 hp and 480 lb-ft, or the insane X6 M and its twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 with 567 hp and 553 lb-ft of twist. But we're reviewing the so-called entry-level model, and you really need to understand something: it's not exactly "entry-level." With a base price of around $63,000, our X6 xDrive35i came loaded with extras = $more than $15,000 worth. Do the quick math for the total sticker price.

But what's the difference between the X5 and X6? Honestly, it pretty much boils down to body styles, as the both are built on the same platform with nearly all of the same components. That's not a bad thing, but what it does for BMW is provide an alternative to the typical SUV styling. Say you don't need the extra space the X5 provides and want something, at least in your opinion, more stylish. That's the X6. Oh, and for anyone thinking the X6 can't do any hauling, you should know that it can tow up to 6,000 pounds. Enjoy the review!
