The following is a performance-capsule review of the 2010 BMW X6 M. It is based on our analysis of 8 published reviews and test drives. Please check back soon for our full review.

The 2010 BMW X6 M is a luxury SUV that behaves like a sports car. According to Edmunds, "It doesn't make much sense, but it's a whole lot of fun."

The 2010 BMW X6 M is a performance-tuned variant of the 2010 BMW X6, which garners praise for its sporty performance, long list of tech gadgets and high-quality interior finish.

The 2010 BMW X6 M builds upon the base trim, transforming it from a sporty SUV to a true sports performer. Equipped with a 555-horsepower Advanced Turbo V8 engine and a plethora of handling technology, the 2010 BMW X6 M blasts from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds -- and does it in comfort. While many critics agree that it doesn't make much sense to soup up an SUV with this much power and capability, most concede that it's still a helluva lot of fun to drive. "We suspect that, like the Porsche [Cayenne Turbo S], the BMW will rarely be seen on a track in any role other than impressive tow machine," writes Popular Mechanics. "But it might just be the quickest tow truck in the lot-and it'd likely make for a really great ride out to the local steakhouse at the end of the track day."
