BMW Reintroduces X6 to India With V8‑Powered M60i and Pre‑Launch Bookings

The coupe‑SUV will arrive as a Completely Built‑Up Unit, signalling premium pricing and near‑international specification for Indian buyers.

Overview

  • BMW India opened pre‑launch bookings for the X6 M60i xDrive on Saturday, with reservations accepted at authorised dealers and via the company website.
  • The X6 M60i is powered by BMW’s S68 4.4‑litre twin‑turbo V8 paired with a 48V mild‑hybrid system that together produce 523 hp and 750 Nm of torque.
  • BMW claims the car will sprint 0–100 km/h in 4.3 seconds and be electronically limited to 250 km/h, and it includes performance hardware such as xDrive all‑wheel drive, an eight‑speed automatic, rear‑wheel steering and an electronically controlled rear differential.
  • International‑spec equipment reported for the model includes BMW’s curved dual‑screen infotainment and instrument cluster, heated and ventilated powered front seats, a panoramic sunroof and an ADAS suite, and India specification is expected to closely mirror this list.
  • Arriving as a CBU import means higher costs to buyers and a premium position in the market with industry estimates placing ex‑showroom pricing around Rs 1.4–1.5 crore, setting the X6 up to compete with the Audi SQ8, MercedesAMG GLE Coupe and Porsche Cayenne Coupe.
