Say what you will about the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/x6/">BMW X6</a> - odd and ugly as it may be, it's actually been sort of successful for the German automaker. <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/">BMW</a> has now sold some 250,000 examples of the X6 since its launch, and the company's fastback-crossover-coupe-whatever-thing gets a host of meaningful updates for the 2015 model year while not straying from its original mission.<br />
<br />
Aside from its revised styling, most noticeably set apart by its larger, X5-inspired headlamps, the biggest update for the US-spec X6 is the addition of a rear-wheel-drive model, the sDrive35i. This trim joins the all-wheel-drive xDrive35i and xDrive50i, and since you should all be capable of decoding BMW's weird naming structure by now, you know this means the X6 will be offered with a choice of 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder and twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 engines. Fuel economy figures have not been released yet, but BMW says the new powertrains are more efficient than before, mated exclusively to an eight-speed automatic transmission regardless of cylinder count.<br />
<br />
Look for the updated X6 to hit US showrooms this fall, following its debut this week in <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/paris-motor-show/">Paris</a>. Expect pricing to be revealed closer to the model's on-sale date.
