BMW X6 (E71). 2008–14 (prod. approx. 250,000 sold). 5-door SUV. F/A, 2993 cm³ diesel (I6 DOHC), 4395 cm³ petrol, 4395 cm³ petrol–electric hybrid (V8 DOHC). Coupé version of X5, criticized by some for being a niche too far, but endearing in its own way. Twin-turbo V8 a stormer, with excellent handling despite bulk; diesel with similar dynamics but lacking the lusty engine note.
