BMW was the first car maker to combine an SUV body with a coupe roofline when it launched the X6 in 2007, basing it on the already hugely popular but boxier X5. Three generations later and the X6 is still going strong, thanks to its trademark style, stand-out driving dynamics and mightily capable off-road performance (which proves equally useful for man-sized potholes and muddy car parks).

There are two different generations of used BMW X6 for sale at Motorpoint – later examples of the model produced from 2015 to 2020, and the all-new generation introduced in 2020.

So check out all the info below, then have a look at the selection of the used BMW X6s available at Motorpoint…
