Weigh the 2026 and 2027 BMW X6 on price and equipment in Arlington

BMW’s 2027 model page lists the xDrive40i at $77,300, the same as 2026 (BMW USA, 2027). Compare the same equipment list in each year before you compare the sticker price.

What is the starting price of the 2026 and 2027 BMW X6?

The 2026 X6 xDrive40i starts at $77,300, the M60i at $98,000 and the M Competition at $136,100. The 2027 xDrive40i holds the same $77,300 starting price. Each trim carries its own price, so stepping from the xDrive40i to the M60i adds $20,700 in starting price for the 2026 model year.

What changed on the 2027 BMW X6 from the 2026?

The 2027 X6 xDrive40i keeps 375 horsepower, and the M60i keeps 523 horsepower (BMW USA, 2027). BMW lists the same starting prices for 2027: $77,300 for the xDrive40i, $98,000 for the M60i and $136,100 for the M Competition (BMW USA, 2027).

When does the X6 M60i make sense over the xDrive40i?

Choose the M60i when you want the extra power and will pay for it. BMW’s 2026 model year lists 523 horsepower for the M60i against 375 for the xDrive40i.

On torque, BMW’s 2026 technical data lists the xDrive40i at 398 lb-ft and the M60i at 553 (BMW USA, 2026). The EPA’s 2026 certification lists the xDrive40i at 23 miles per gallon combined and the M60i at 19. Its annual fuel cost is $3,350 for the xDrive40i and $4,100 for the M60i (EPA, 2026). That is a $750 yearly gap, which belongs in the decision next to the $20,700 starting price difference.

Which BMW X6 year and trim fits your budget in Arlington?

If $77,300 is the number you can spend, the xDrive40i is the trim in reach, in either model year. BMW’s 2026 model-year figures for each trim are below.

These starting prices exclude Texas tax, title, registration and dealer charges, which add to the total you pay. Take the xDrive40i if your budget ends at the starting price, and step up only for the power the M60i adds.

When is the 2026 or the 2027 BMW X6 the wrong choice?

The X6 is the wrong choice when the options you need push the total past your budget. It also needs a second look if you want coverage past the basic term, because BMW’s basic warranty runs 4 years or 50,000 miles.

Cars.com lists the 2027 X6 powertrain at 4 years or 50,000 miles, maintenance at 3 years or 36,000 miles, and roadside assistance for 4 years (Cars.com, 2027).

What does a new BMW X6 cost out the door in Texas?

The out-the-door price is the vehicle price plus Texas sales tax, title and registration fees, and any dealer charges. Texas sales tax is 6.25% of the sales price, minus any trade-in allowance (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, 2026).

Tarrant County is in the $33 group for the Texas title fee (TxDMV, 2026). The base registration fee for a passenger vehicle is $50.75, and the $1 TexasSure charge brings the renewal line to $51.75 (TxDMV, 2026). Tarrant County also adds a $10 local fee (TxDMV, 2026).

A dealer may add a vehicle inventory tax as a separate line. That tax is a negotiable item on the sales agreement, and sales tax is not charged on it (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, 2026). Ask for the complete out-the-door price, including taxes, title, registration and dealer fees, before you compare two X6s.
