2021 BMW X6 Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2021 BMW X6 documents five trims, M, M Competition, M50i, sDrive40i and xDrive40i, over one four-door sport utility body, powered by either a turbocharged 3.0L inline-six or a turbocharged 4.4L V8, both with double overhead camshafts. Two engines under five names means the specification tables branch at the engine and merge again for the chassis, brakes, body and electrical work, with torque values stated for each side of the split.

Known issues on the 2021 X6. Seven recalls are recorded. One covers the steering column shaft's universal joint, left below its tightening specification, which can work loose and take away steering precision. Another covers tires with a damaged inner layer that can lose pressure suddenly at speed. A third covers the 48-volt battery connection to the starter-generator, where a poor assembly raises electrical resistance enough to start a fire. Seven complaints are recorded, one each on the service brakes, the air bags and engine cooling. Steering, wheel and tire, charging and brake procedures all sit in this manual.
