The X6 M enters the 2021 model year with only the smallest of changes. The list of standard features grows with the addition of Android Auto and a one-year subscription to SiriusXM satellite radio with 360L. However, the M's roster of standalone options has been shortened with the elimination of night vision with pedestrian detection, the rear-seat entertainment system, and the satin aluminum roof rails and exterior trim. BMW also changes the Competition designation from a model to a package.
Pros Transcendent SUV performance, stocked with popular standard features, sumptuous cabin space.
Cons Compromised rear visibility, rough ride on some roads, pricier than the more practical X5 M.
