The 2024 BMW X6 generally exhibits a mix of minor and potentially more significant issues. Electrical glitches in the infotainment system are relatively common but often addressable through software updates. The V8 engine might face oil leak issues over time, while the 8-speed transmission can exhibit shifting problems. Air suspension, if equipped, can also be problematic. The cost of repairs ranges from no cost (software updates) to thousands of dollars for major component replacements, but the issues are not necessarily widespread and don’t represent a major reliability concern for most owners.
