I would say no. A 6' wide enclosed is probably well under 6 feet inside to inside, and you won't be able to get out of the SxS if you drive it in. You'll have to push or winch it in which is a pain, and that's even if it fits.

Most people consider a 7' wide enclosed to be the minimum for a SxS, and even that is tight.

We got an 8.5' wide for our enclosed, I would never want anything more narrow even for our Maverick Sport (also 64" wide like your DS). For an open trailer they don't have to be nearly as wide to be comfortable since you have so much room.

I would get one 14' long, even for a 2 seat X3. That way you can properly place it on the trailer for good tongue weight. We use our 14' open trailer for a 2 seat X3 and again, I wouldn't go shorter.

Just because something technically will work doesn't make it safe or a pleasant experience. What is your tow vehicle?

Always go bigger than you think. You'll never regret having extra space but curse the universe when you have to crawl out the windshield. I use a deck-over-axle model like a snowmobile trailer. A full 98" wide inside and it is still tight opening the Defender doors. Nice not having any fenders inside as well. My cousin has a Maverick and his is 7ft inside with 1/2 the fender in, 1/2 out. Both have 18' boxes with a 6' V. Room for SxS and quads or two short SxS.

To give you an idea of interior space, this is my old trailer but same interior width of 98". With that old Rhino, lots of space to get in and out but that thing was narrower than a Mav. And I had to get a bigger trailer because I wanted room for 2 ATVs in front not just one loaded sideways.
