coupé (styling featuring a sloping roof). It was based on the previous generation BMW 5 and 6
Series. E71 development began in 2003 under Peter Tuennermann, after start of E70
X5 development in 2001. Design work by E70 X5 designer Pierre Leclercq was frozen in 2005, with
test mules being run from the summer of 2005 and prototypes being tested from late 2006.
Production began on December 3, 2007.[1]
The second generation X6 (F16) was launched at the Paris Motor Show in 2014.
