BMW relaunches the X6 in India as the ₹1.78 crore M60i xDrive only—530 bhp 4.4L V8, 0–100 in 4.3s, M suspension, and full luxury kit as a CBU.
Key facts
- Price: ₹1.77–1.78 crore (ex-showroom), CBU import
- Engine: 4.4L twin-turbo V8, 530 bhp, 750 Nm, 48V mild-hybrid
- Performance: 0–100 km/h 4.3s, 250 km/h (limited)
- Drivetrain: 8-speed auto, xDrive AWD, M Sport differential
- Rivals: Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 Coupe (435 bhp), Audi SQ8 (507 bhp)
The X6 coupe-SUV disappeared from India in 2023; BMW has brought it back in the most deliberate way possible—one variant, the M60i, with a 530 bhp V8 and every M Sport trick in the book. No diesel, no six-cylinder stepping stone, just the hot one. At ₹1.78 crore it's a CBU play aimed squarely at the GLE 53 Coupe and SQ8, banking on raw power and that unmistakable roofline to pull buyers who want presence and pace in equal measure.
What you get: M60i spec and hardware
The M60i comes loaded as standard: M Sport Pro aero kit, 21-inch M alloys with run-flats, red M brake calipers, quad exhausts, Adaptive LED headlights, and a matte-black kidney grille. Chassis side, you get M Adaptive suspension, Integral Active Steering (rear-wheel steer), and an M Sport differential for sharper turn-in. Six colors are standard—Aventurine Red, Manhattan, Brooklyn Grey, Black Sapphire, Mineral White, Isle of Man Green—plus 40+ via BMW Individual. Inside: Curved Display (12.3" cluster + 14.9" touchscreen, iDrive 8.5), head-up display, panoramic glass roof, ventilated comfort seats, Harman Kardon audio, and Parking Assistant Pro that can reverse your last 200 meters.
The engine: 4.4L V8 + mild-hybrid, no apologies
The 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 makes 530 bhp and 750 Nm, fed through an 8-speed Steptronic Sport box to xDrive AWD with a rear bias. A 48V mild-hybrid motor-generator smooths stop-start and adds low-speed torque. BMW claims 4.3 seconds to 100 km/h and a 250 km/h limiter. Fuel economy will hover in the single digits, but that's the price of a V8 soundtrack and M-tuned hardware.
Buy now or wait?
Buy if you want the most powerful coupe-SUV in this bracket and you're fine with CBU pricing. BMW Financial is offering 60% assured buyback after three years / 10,000 km to ease resale worries. Wait if you're hoping for a plug-in hybrid (no sign of one soon in India) or if you think Audi might sharpen SQ8 pricing. The X6 M60i won't see a facelift for a couple of years, so what's on sale now is the spec you'll live with.
