2019 BMW X6

Car and Driver (opens in a new tab) says the 2019 X6 receives several new standard features and revised option packages, and that every X6 has a 10.2-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay among its standard features. Carvana (opens in a new tab) calls the 2019 X6 the final model year of the second-generation F16, not a redesign, with updated engines, more standard technology and safety equipment and a new M50i performance trim, and says the third generation arrives for 2020 with a new body and platform.

NHTSA lists four recall campaigns for the 2019 X6. 18V680000 covers rear upper control-arm pivot bolts that may have been improperly hardened, possibly letting the control arms break, 18V614000 wheel bolts that may not have been properly tightened, which dealers replace and tighten, 19V684000 a back-up camera setting that can leave the rear-view image invisible the next time the car reverses, and 19V823000 lower child-seat anchor bars that may be damaged when used with a rigid ISOFIX-type connector, for which dealers weld a reinforcing bracket. Owners have filed five complaints with NHTSA, one each about engine, fuel system, parking brake, engine cooling and air bags.
