Sleeker Headlights

The 2024 BMW X6 Facelift’s kidney grilles are unchanged from the pre-LCI car, especially since the pre-LCI BMW X6 had illuminated grilles too. Below those headlights is an all new front fascia and air intakes. It’s much tamer and more sophisticated than the pre-LCI car, which is refreshing on an aggressive looking car like the X6. Instead of just three big rectangular air intakes for the M Sport models, the new 2024 BMW X6 M60i gets one larger center air intake with two vertical ones flanking it.

New Taillights Design

Out back, the 2024 BMW X6 keeps its basic taillight design but they get a bit more three dimensional, similar to the X3’s and X5’s new taillights. It also gets new quad exhausts, which are oddly shaped and stick out of the new rear bumper.

The BMW X6 is also receiving a few colors to its library – Blue Ridge Mountain Metallic, Brooklyn Grey, Skyscraper Grey, and Frozen Pure Grey are available across the X6 range, while there’s a new color for the X6 M60i that fans are sure to like—Isle of Man Green.

It’s What’s On the Inside That Matters

Inside, the 2024 BMW X6 Facelift is extremely similar to the new X7. It gets the same curved dual screen iDrive 8 infotainment system, with a new digital gauge cluster, and entirely digital climate controls. While it’s all-new for the BMW X6, it isn’t anything new to the lineup, as most new BMWs have the same system. However, current X6 customers trading in their leases will enjoy the upgrade.

Options on the 2024 BMW X6

Largely, options remain unchanged from the previous model year. A new addition is the M Sport Professional Package. It adds more aggressive additions like black chrome tailpipes and painted brake calipers to M Sport vehicles. The Climate Comfort Package, Executive Package, and Premium Package all enter into the new model year mostly the same. After a one-year hiatus, Gesture Control is back on the menu, and favorites like glass controls and massaging seats return.

Major Engine Upgrades

The 2024 BMW X6 gets two new engine upgrades, for both six and eight-cylinder engines. The B58 3.0-liter twin-turbo I6 engine gets revised to its latest edition, which now packs 48-volt mild-hybrid technology. That means it now makes 375 horsepower and a very impressive 398 lb-ft of torque. The B58 engine is only available with xDrive all-wheel drive, unlike the BMW X5 which offers a rear-drive model. For the X6 xDrive40i, 0-60 mph happens in 5.2 seconds.

As for the V8, the 2024 BMW X6 M60i now uses the S68 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8, which also has mild-hybrid tech. It replaces the outgoing N63 engine and it’s a proper M engine in a standard BMW. It makes the same 523 horsepower and 553 lb-ft as before but it’s a smoother, more efficient engine and, since it’s a proper M engine, it can be tuned to make much more power. Still, with a 0-60 mph time of 4.2 seconds!
