Having seen the new 8er and now this X6, one might speculate that BMW wants to set their coupé/SAC models apart from their sedan SAV/counterparts with lower and sleeker grilles. However the new X4 got the same high grille as the X3, and we do know that the next 4er will have a huge vertical grille borrowed from the 3.0 CSL Hommage Concept. So there doesn't seem to be any consistency as to exactly which model types do and which do not get these new high grilles BMW has been introducing, rather they seem to be following a case-by-case design policy.
