The current BMW X6 has been around for a good few years now, but it’s still one of the German brand’s most emotive SUVs. It’s a potent performer, but it’s also got substance—so much so that a 2025 J.D. Power study rated it the most satisfying new car to own in America. The X6 isn’t cheap, though, but BMW is running lease deals on both X6 trims that are worth a look. Here’s everything you need to know.
This Month’s BMW X6 Lease Deals
BMW
The BMW X6 M60i lease price for January is $1,319 per month over 39 months, with $8,189 due at signing. That’s for the M60i with 523 horsepower. The less powerful X6 xDrive40i can be leased from $1,059/month over the same term, with $7,039 down.
The BMW X6’s leasing deal is based on a $2,000 loyalty credit, applicable to customers who have owned or leased a new BMW over the last 12 months. The deal excludes tax, title, licensing, and registration costs. The mileage allowance is 32,500 miles over the lease period, with a cost of $0.30/mile applying if you exceed this. This offer is available in California until February 2, 2026, but other regions may have their own BMW X6 lease deals, so be sure to check these with your zip code on BMW’s website.
If you don’t want to lease a BMW X6, you can buy one. It starts at $77,300 for the xDrive40i and goes up to $98,000 for the M60i.

Powertrain and Features
BMW
Starting at the top, the 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 in the M60i allows the big SUV to sprint from zero to 60 mph in just 4.2 seconds. All-wheel drive is standard, as is an eight-speed automatic transmission. The xDrive40i also has AWD and an eight-speed auto, but uses a 375-hp six-cylinder turbo engine instead; it can sprint to 60 in 5.2 seconds.
The base X6 has 20-inch alloys, Shadowline trim, and an aerodynamic kit. The quality of interior materials is exemplary, with a Sensafin-covered dashboard, wood trim, and Sensafin seats. The driver faces BMW’s Curved Display with a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and 14.9-inch touchscreen interface; at some point in the future, the X6 will likely get the iX3’s newer Panoramic display. Standard features include a HiFi sound system, four-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, the Sky Lounge Panoramic Roof, and a power-adjustable steering column, to name a few.
Being the top X6 model besides the X6 M, the M60i comes with even more goodies, including a Harman Kardon sound system and ventilated front seats.
Final Thoughts
The BMW X6 is the ideal SUV for the enthusiast who needs the extra space but doesn’t want to compromise on looks and performance by driving a box on wheels. If you can afford it, go for the wild V8 model—the V8 matches the X6’s exuberant style and personality to a tee. This vehicle’s closest rival is the Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 Coupe, which can be leased for $1,099/month over 36 months with $8,513 down this January.Â
The Merc’s monthly effective lease cost works out to $1,335, whereas the BMW’s (over a slightly longer lease term) is $1,528. However, the BMW has a brawny V8 and the Merc has a six-cylinder. The BMW is also quicker (0-60 in 4.2 seconds versus 4.9). This segment is less about efficiency and more about excitement and emotion, so even with its slightly higher lease cost, we’re inclined to favor the BMW.
