2020 BMW X6 Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2020 BMW X6 covers six trims: M, M Competition, M50i, sDrive40i, xDrive40i and xDrive40i M Sport, all on the four-door sport utility body, with a turbocharged 3.0L inline-six and a turbocharged 4.4L V8 between them, both double overhead cam. Six trims over two engines means most procedures are written twice at the engine and once everywhere else, and the specification tables are keyed accordingly.

Known issues on the 2020 X6. The federal record for this year carries ten recalls. One set concerns the integrated brake system, where a rotor and shaft that were not welded properly can separate under hard braking and cost the driver power assist and antilock function. Another concerns the starter motor, which can overheat from repeated cranking until it ignites material around it. A third concerns the roof spoiler, which can come unbonded from its mounting plate and detach into traffic. Nine complaints are recorded, three of them on the electrical system, with the power train and engine cooling behind, all diagnosed here.
