2018 BMW X6 Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2018 BMW X6 covers five trims, among them the M Edition Black Fire alongside the M, sDrive35i, xDrive35i and xDrive50i, all on the four-door sport utility body. Two turbocharged gasoline engines are documented, a 3.0L inline-six and a 4.4L V8, each with double overhead camshafts. Five names and two engines mean the specifications divide at the engine bay rather than at the badge, and the chassis, brake and body procedures are written once for the whole list.

Known issues on the 2018 X6. Four recalls are recorded, and three of them are fastener and suspension work. Wheel bolts left under-tightened can loosen and break, taking handling with them; front suspension bolts left loose can do the same through the geometry; and a front lower control arm pivot bolt that was not hardened correctly can break the arm outright. The fourth covers rear child seat anchor bars damaged by rigid connectors. Four complaints are recorded, on the power train, tires and steering, the same suspension, wheel and driveline procedures and torque values set out here.
