PIMP BMW X6 2012

The NEW BMW X6 base xDrive35i model features a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine that makes 300 horsepower. Likewise, the xDrive50i comes with a 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8. Test drivers offer praise for both engines, noting they provide fantastic acceleration for a midsize SUV. They are both paired with a six-speed automatic transmission which comes with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters for a sportier experience.
The new ActiveHybrid X6 is one of the most powerful hybrid vehicles on the market. It boasts a 4.4-liter V8 that makes a staggering 400 horsepower. It’s paired wit two electric motors that make 90 and 84 horsepower, respectively. The hybrid is mated to a seven-speed automatic transmission with manual mode. Test drivers have high praise for the hybrid’s powertrain, noting that acceleration is excellent in any situation.
The EPA rates the 2010 xDrive35i at 15/21 mpg city/highway, while the xDrive50i offers a lesser 13/18 mpg rating. Fuel economy isn't a strong point for the X6, although it's about the norm for a luxury midsize SUV -- unless, that is, you shell out big bucks for the ActiveHybrid X6. The EPA has not yet rated it, but BMW estimates it will get 19 miles per gallon in the city. However, the ActiveHybrid also starts at nearly $89,000, so don’t fool yourself by thinking it will save you money on gas.
For higher fuel economy without the painfully high sticker price, consider the Lexus RX 350, which boasts an 18/25 mpg rating and costs a whopping $20,000 less than the base X6. The Infiniti FX's 16/23 mpg rating is also excellent for the class, and it costs several thousand less than the X6.
