The 2027 BMW X6 is BMW's coupe-styled take on the midsize luxury SUV: the ride height and cargo room of an X5, wrapped in a sloping, fastback roofline that trades a little headroom for a lot of presence. It comes in three trims at BMW of Napa Valley: the xDrive40i starting at $77,300, the M60i at $98,000, and the track-tuned M Competition at $136,100, running anywhere from a comfortable 375 horsepower to a genuinely fast 617. All three seat five across two rows, all three come standard with BMW's xDrive all-wheel drive, and all three are built in Spartanburg, South Carolina.

Key Numbers

• Three trims: xDrive40i ($77,300), M60i ($98,000), M Competition ($136,100), all base MSRP excluding destination.
• Horsepower ranges from 375 (xDrive40i) to 617 (M Competition), with 0-60 mph times from 5.2 to 3.7 seconds.
• Every trim seats five across two rows and comes standard with xDrive all-wheel drive; no third row, no EV or plug-in hybrid version.
• Cargo space is 27.4 cubic feet behind the rear seats, expanding to 59.6 cubic feet with them folded, identical on all three trims.
• Properly equipped, the xDrive40i tows up to 7,209 pounds and the M60i up to 7,200 pounds; the M Competition does not offer a trailer hitch option.

BMW of Napa Valley sells the X6 lineup under the store's Premier Pure Promise: no negotiation, no commission on staff pay. Below is exactly what each trim offers, what it costs, and which one actually fits how you drive around Fairfield and the North Bay.

2027 X6 Engines and Powertrain Options

Every 2027 X6 runs a 48-volt mild-hybrid gas engine with BMW's xDrive all-wheel drive standard. There is no front-wheel-drive or rear-wheel-drive version, and BMW does not offer the X6 as a plug-in hybrid or an electric vehicle. The mild-hybrid system smooths out stop-start driving and assists acceleration; it never plugs in and carries no electric-only range.

xDrive40i: 3.0-liter TwinPower Turbo inline-6

The xDrive40i's 3.0-liter inline-6 makes 375 horsepower and 398 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed Sport Automatic transmission. It gets to 60 mph in 5.2 seconds and returns an EPA-rated 21 city / 26 highway / 23 combined mpg on premium gasoline, the most efficient way into the X6 lineup.

M60i: 4.4-liter M TwinPower Turbo V-8

Step up to the M60i and the engine changes entirely: a 4.4-liter V-8 making 523 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque, routed through an 8-speed M Steptronic Sport transmission with Drivelogic and BMW's M xDrive system with an Active M Differential. That's a drop from 5.2 to 4.2 seconds in the 0-60 sprint for a $20,700 step up from the xDrive40i. EPA rates it at 17 city / 22 highway / 19 combined mpg, and like every X6 trim it requires premium fuel.

M Competition: the same V-8, tuned harder

The M Competition uses the same 4.4-liter M TwinPower Turbo V-8 as the M60i, but tuned to 617 horsepower and the same 553 lb-ft of torque, through the same 8-speed M Steptronic Sport transmission and M xDrive with Active M Differential. It's the quickest X6 BMW builds: 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds, electronically limited to 155 mph (177 mph with the optional M Driver's Package). EPA rates it 13 city / 18 highway / 15 combined mpg, the trade-off for the extra 94 horsepower over the M60i.

All three engines share the same basic architecture: a turbocharged BMW engine backed by a 48-volt mild-hybrid system and routed through xDrive all-wheel drive, so the step from one trim to the next is really a step in tuning and hardware rather than a completely different driving character. The inline-6 in the xDrive40i is the same family of engine BMW uses across the 3 Series and X3 lineups, tuned here for a heavier, taller body. The V-8 in the M60i and M Competition is shared with other M-badged BMW SUVs, split into two distinct states of tune. Picking between them mostly comes down to how much of that extra V-8 character you actually want to pay for at the pump, since the jump from 23 mpg combined on the xDrive40i to 15 mpg combined on the M Competition is a real, ongoing cost that adds up well past the day you buy the car.

X6 Trim Lineup and Pricing

Trim	Starting MSRP	Horsepower	0-60 mph	EPA combined
xDrive40i	$77,300	375 hp	5.2 sec	23 mpg
M60i	$98,000	523 hp	4.2 sec	19 mpg
M Competition	$136,100	617 hp	3.7 sec	15 mpg

Prices are BMW's published base MSRP, excluding destination and handling. BMW had not disclosed a 2027 destination charge as of this writing, so confirm the out-the-door number with our team before you commit to a figure.

xDrive40i: the value entry point

Standard M Sport suspension, an M Sport Professional Package available for a sportier stance, and the full X6 technology suite. This is the trim most buyers cross-shopping a coupe-SUV should start with: real V-8-adjacent presence at inline-6 running costs.

M60i: the everyday performance pick

V-8 power and M xDrive without giving up daily livability. Adaptive M Suspension Professional is available, along with Integral Active Steering for tighter low-speed maneuvering, a genuine step toward M Competition performance at a $38,100 discount off it.

M Competition: the halo trim

Standard 21"/22" M Star-Spoke Bicolor wheels, quad-tailpipe M Sport exhaust, Adaptive M Suspension Professional, and the full 617-horsepower engine. Integral Active Steering and an Active M Differential come standard for the sharper handling the M Competition badge promises, and an optional Panoramic Sky Lounge LED Roof and carbon-shift-paddle steering wheel push the cabin closer to a dedicated performance car than a family SUV. One trade-off worth knowing up front: BMW does not offer a trailer hitch option on the M Competition, so if towing matters to you, this is the one trim to skip.

Exterior styling differences run deeper than badges. The xDrive40i wears a standard M Sport package with the option to add an M Sport Professional Package: a matte-black kidney frame, M High-gloss Shadowline trim, and a choice of red or blue M Sport brakes. Both M60i and M Competition get their own kidney grille with vertical double ribs and M-specific mirrors standard, and every trim can be ordered with the available Illuminated Kidney Grille that lights the front fascia after dark. Wheel choices climb with the trim: the xDrive40i offers available M Dual-Spoke wheels, the M60i offers available V-Spoke Bicolor wheels, and the M Competition ships on standard M Star-Spoke Bicolor wheels with staggered performance tires front to rear.

Technology and Connectivity in the 2027 X6

Every X6 pairs a 12.3-inch Digital Instrument Cluster with a 14.9-inch Central Information Display in one curved unit, running BMW's latest iDrive. An M Leather Steering Wheel with multifunction controls is standard across the lineup. Available options include a Harman Kardon surround sound system, 4-zone automatic climate control, Glass Controls with crystal-glass detailing, and BMW's Live Cockpit Professional package with a head-up display that layers navigation directly into the driver's line of sight. BMW ConnectedDrive ties the car, a driver's phone and compatible smart-home systems into one connected environment. For Fairfield and North Bay commuters, the standard package already covers the everyday basics: wireless smartphone integration, ambient interior lighting and the full digital gauge cluster, with the Premium and Executive packages layering in the rest.

Interior and Comfort

The X6's cabin seats five across two rows. This is a 2-row coupe-SUV, not a 3-row like its X7 sibling. Standard M Sport seats offer real lateral support for the coupe roofline's more spirited handling, and every trim is available with heated and ventilated front and rear seats, real wood or aluminum trim, and a Panoramic Sky Lounge LED roof. M60i and M Competition step up to Multi-contour or M multifunction seats respectively, with the M Competition also offering optional Extended Merino leather and illuminated M badging on the front seatbacks. Behind the second row sits 27.4 cubic feet of cargo space, expanding to 59.6 cubic feet with the seats folded, enough for a full Costco run or a set of golf bags without folding anything down.

Interior color and material choices span the practical to the genuinely upscale. Sensafin leatherette upholstery is available in shades like Silverstone, Coffee and Tacora Red, while Extended Merino premium leather, available in combinations like Ivory White or Sakhir Orange with black accents on the M Competition, is the top of the range. An M Leather Steering Wheel with black leather and contoured thumb rests is standard on every trim, and BMW's available Glass Controls swap the shifter, iDrive controller and start/stop button for crystal-glass detailing. Ambient interior lighting runs throughout the cabin on every trim, and the available 4-zone automatic climate control splits comfort settings between the front and rear seats independently, genuinely useful on a 95-degree Central Valley afternoon with a full car.

Cargo Space and Towing Capability in Northern California

Cargo capacity is identical across all three trims: 27.4 cubic feet behind the rear seats, 59.6 cubic feet maximum with them folded flat. Towing capacity is where the trims diverge. The xDrive40i tows up to 7,209 pounds with the available factory-installed hitch, and the M60i tows up to 7,200 pounds the same way, both plenty for a boat out of Napa Valley or a small camper up toward Lake Berryessa. The M Competition, tuned purely for on-road performance, does not offer a trailer hitch option at all. If you need to tow anything, choose the xDrive40i or the M60i.

Safety and Driver Assistance

Every 2027 X6 comes standard with BMW's Driving Assistant Package: Active Blind Spot Detection, Lane Keeping Assistant, Forward Collision Mitigation and Speed Limit Assistant. Step up to the available Driving Assistant Professional Package and you add Steering and Lane Keeping Assistant, Lane Change Assistant, Emergency Stop Assistant and Evasion Aid, plus Highway Assistant with Active Lane Change and Distance Control with Steering Assistant for hands-supported driving on the freeway grind up I-80 or across the Carquinez Bridge. An available Parking Assistant Professional package adds a 3D SurroundView camera system, Active Park Distance Control and Automatic Parking Assistant, along with a Trailer Assistant that steers a trailer into position automatically on the xDrive40i and M60i. BMW High Beam Assist automatically switches between high and low beams so you never have to think about it on an unlit stretch of Highway 12, and BMW Digital Key Plus lets a compatible smartphone unlock and start the car without ever pulling out a physical key: the car's interior adjusts to the driver's saved profile automatically as they approach.

Which 2027 BMW X6 Is Right for You?

• Daily commuter who wants coupe-SUV styling without a V-8's fuel bill: the xDrive40i. 23 mpg combined and 375 horsepower is plenty for I-80 and around Fairfield.
• Someone who wants real V-8 performance but still drives the car every day: the M60i. 523 horsepower and M xDrive, without the M Competition's fuel and ride trade-offs.
• A driver chasing the quickest, most track-capable X6 BMW builds: the M Competition. 617 horsepower and a 3.7-second 0-60, understanding it gives up the tow hitch option to get there.
• A family that needs to tow a boat or small trailer to the Delta or Lake Berryessa: the xDrive40i (up to 7,209 pounds) or the M60i (up to 7,200 pounds), properly equipped. Skip the M Competition.
• A buyer who wants a well-equipped X6 without chasing every option box: an xDrive40i with the M Sport Professional and Premium packages covers the features most drivers actually use daily, well short of M60i money.
