Why Lease the BMW X6 M?
The X6 M is the most extreme thing BMW makes in this shape. In the UK it comes in one guise, the X6 M Competition, with 625hp and 750Nm from a twin turbocharged 4.4 litre V8, 0 to 62mph in 3.9 seconds and a 155mph limiter.
It is a deliberately unreasonable car, and that is the appeal. 2,445kg, a lowered coupe roofline, and chassis engineering done by BMW M rather than simply a bigger engine dropped into an X6. There is no sensible argument for it, which is fine, because nobody chooses one on the basis of a sensible argument.
What It Costs to Run
Worth being honest about the numbers, because they are the thing to settle before you go any further. The X6 M Competition returns around 22mpg on the WLTP test and emits 285 to 289g/km of CO2. There is no diesel, no plug-in hybrid and no electrified alternative anywhere in the X6 M range. The 48 volt system is there for response and refinement, not economy.
That CO2 figure puts it at the very top of the benefit in kind bands, so as a company car this is close to the worst choice available and we are not going to pretend otherwise. Bands change each tax year, so take the current figures from your accountant, but the direction will not surprise you.
Almost every X6 M we place is a personal agreement, taken by someone who knows exactly what they are choosing and has decided it is worth it. That is a perfectly good reason. If instead you are here because you want a fast large BMW and the tax has to work, tell us, because the answer is a plug-in hybrid X5 and it is not close.
Practicality, Such As It Is
580 litre boot
Up to 1,530 litres with the seats folded. The same as a standard X6, so the M version costs you nothing in load space.
Five seats
A genuine five seater, 4,948mm long. Rear headroom is the price of the roofline, so sit in the back before you commit if you will carry adults there often.
X5 M alternative
The X5 M uses the same 625hp engine with a conventional roofline and a 650 litre boot. Worth pricing both.
The step below is the X6 M60i xDrive at 530hp, which belongs to the standard X6 range rather than being a lesser M car. If 530hp sounds like plenty, it is worth comparing, because it is a noticeably cheaper car to run.
Leasing a BMW X6 M
This is one of the strongest cases for leasing rather than buying. A 625hp petrol SUV is exactly the kind of car where nobody can tell you confidently what it will be worth in three years, and on contract hire that risk sits with the funder rather than with you.
A maintenance package is worth pricing here more than on almost anything else, because tyres and brakes on a 2,445kg car with this much power are a genuine recurring cost. Our leasing guides cover term and mileage.

BMW X6 M Leasing FAQs
625hp and 750Nm from a twin turbocharged 4.4 litre V8 with 48 volt mild hybrid assistance, driving through an eight speed automatic and all wheel drive. 0 to 62mph takes 3.9 seconds, or 3.6 seconds by BMW's 1-Foot Rollout measurement.
Not in the UK. BMW sells the M car here only as the X6 M Competition. The step below is the X6 M60i xDrive with 530hp, which belongs to the standard X6 range rather than being a lesser M car.
Around 22mpg on the WLTP test and 285 to 289g/km of CO2. There is no diesel and no plug-in hybrid version, so if running costs matter this is not the car.
No, and we would not pretend otherwise. That CO2 figure puts it at the very top of the benefit in kind bands. Almost all the X6 Ms we place are personal agreements. If you want a fast large BMW that works on tax, a plug-in hybrid X5 is the answer.
The same 625hp engine in two bodies. The X6 M has the lowered coupe roofline and a 580 litre boot, the X5 M the conventional shape and 650 litres. Rear headroom is the main thing the X6 M gives up.
580 litres with the rear seats up and up to 1,530 litres folded, which is the same as a standard X6. The M version costs you nothing in load space.
It is a genuine five seater with a usable boot, so yes for most purposes. The thing to check is rear headroom, since the sloping roof takes some of it. Sit in the back before you commit if adults will travel there regularly.
LetsLease is a credit broker rather than the lender. We arrange the agreement and place it with a funder such as Lex Autolease, Novuna, Ayvens or Santander, and that funder owns the vehicle and holds the agreement with you. Because we work across several funders rather than one, we can compare how each prices the same car.
