small, resulting in disappointment in terms of performance and
practicality.

standard) shifts quickly and smoothly.

5. Comments from other car websites:
"Cars don't get much more outlandish than the BMW X6,
which combines the heft and elevated ride height of a
crossover with the rakish roofline of a coupe. The styling
takes a toll on passenger and cargo space, although the X6
does offer the handling, luxury and performance for which
BMW is known." -- Left Lane News
"The X6's SUV classification should be taken with a grain
of salt, however, as it's not terribly well suited for off-roading
and its raked rear end negates what could be a
useful cargo bay. But, if you're an urban dweller who
prefers performance to practicality, BMW's 2014 X6 has
much to offer." -- Kelley Blue Book
"The X6 is the slowest-selling BMW after the Z4. It's
ponderous and inefficient like a giant SUV, but has the
interior space of a medium-sized hatchback." --
AutoWeek (2013)
"Marketed as a cross between an SUV and a coupe, the
2013 BMW X6 unfortunately represents a rather poor blend
of both." -- Edmunds (2013)
