BMW X6 M Competition Rental in Los Angeles
The BMW X6 M Competition in blue with a black and yellow interior is a Prometheus Exotics rental based in Los Angeles, our only X6 M, a five seat SUV coupe with a falling roofline built to look meaner than a normal SUV. The same 617 horsepower V8 as our X5 M sits underneath, booked when the shape matters as much as speed.
How It Drives
A twin turbo V8 is the mechanism, 617 horsepower and 553 lb-ft sent through all wheel drive with the rear biased xDrive setup shared across our M lineup. There is no hybrid assistance filling in the torque here, so the pull builds the traditional way, off idle and gathering hard through the middle of the rev range on the climb up Angeles Crest Highway. All wheel drive keeps a car this heavy planted through the bends rather than hunting for grip. Comfort mode is still stiff, which every reviewer of this SUV notes and which you will feel over the first pothole on Mulholland before you feel anything else about the ride.
How It Photographs
Blue keeps this X6 M from disappearing into a parking structure the way a black one does, and against the low light coming off Sunset Boulevard at night the paint holds a real, deep color rather than reading as black with a badge. The falling coupe roofline is the shape to frame from the rear three quarter, where the X6 M's stance is most obvious next to a normal SUV. Open a door for the black and yellow interior, which nobody expects and which gives a second photograph entirely different from the exterior shot, a hard color contrast the moment the door swings open on a quiet street in the hills.
Why This One
This is the only X6 M in our fleet, and it is the one to book when the shape matters as much as the speed. Against our X5 M, which shares the same 617 horsepower and the same 3.7 second run to sixty, this car trades some rear headroom and cargo room for a coupe roofline that reads as meaner from every angle. Book it for a Los Angeles night out, a shoot, or any booking where the car needs to look like the main character before it even moves. Book the X5 M instead when the trip needs the extra headroom and the split tailgate more than it needs the roofline.
What's On This One
This X6 M Competition is finished in blue with a black and yellow interior, powered by the twin turbo V8 that is standard to this trim without hybrid assistance, and it seats five under a coupe roofline with a single piece tailgate rather than the split tailgate on the X5 M. All wheel drive, adaptive dampers and the M Sport exhaust are standard to the Competition trim, along with heavily bolstered M multifunction seats. The coupe roof costs some rear headroom and visibility compared to a normal SUV, which is the honest trade for the shape that makes this car look the way it does.
