BMW X6 F16

The F16 is the BMW X6 generation our specification records cover for US model years 2015–2019. Across that run EPA certified 15 versions of it for sale in America, under 3 trim names. It was sold as an SUV Coupe.

Dimensions are the figures the panel above does not carry. The F16 measures 193.3 in · 4,910 mm long, sits on a wheelbase of 115.4 in · 2,931 mm and weighs 4,751 lb · 2,155 kg to 5,170 lb · 2,345 kg. Length and wheelbase come from Transport Canada, which measures every vehicle sold in North America; curb weight from the same source.

The generation did not stand still: the best combined economy dropped from 22 mpg to 20 mpg. An F16 from the first model year and one from the last are not the same proposition, which is worth remembering when a listing gives only the chassis code.

Set against the E71 that preceded it, the F16 is 0.8 inches longer at the shortest version and 33 lb · 15 kg lighter at the lightest. Both figures are taken from the lightest and shortest version we hold for each, so they compare like with like rather than setting a base car against a loaded one.

Of the 15 versions we hold under this code, 10 are all-wheel drive and 5 rear-wheel drive. That matters on the used market more than it looks: which axles are driven changes the weight, the service list and the price, and the badge does not always say which you are looking at.

This archive holds 2 original US brochures covering the F16, with the text of each one searchable. They are the source of the figures no government record collects — torque, acceleration and the equipment lists — and they are what BMW told American buyers at the time rather than what is said about the car now.

Gaps are left as gaps. We do not hold curb weight for 5 of the 15, because Transport Canada does not publish a weight for every model. A dash on this site means the figure is not in a source we can name, never that it is roughly the same as the row above.
