Bavarians will retain supremacy in sporting SUV BMW X6 earned facelift and will be presented in world premiere at Geneva Motor Show 2012.
The BMW X6 launched in 2008 as a less practical version of BMW X5, but with a sporty and why not extravagant. Obviously, quickly became the car of the moment, and now, after four years and more than 150,000 copies sold worldwide, it’s time for a facelift.

A facelift quite discreet, because X6 seems hardly needs major changes. The most visible feature of this facelift is found in the front, which can be replaced xenon headlights, optionally with some adaptive LED that looks high-tech. Flags are also LED and the top is now a “lid” with a strong aesthetic effect.

Front spoiler is almost unchanged, only holes with the right side to some ornaments that clearly differentiates facelift of the previous version, especially as fog lights were moved out. Otherwise, the lights remain the same shape, but are also equipped with LEDs and give discharges to form a circular trapeze. It also noted the adoption of mooring interesting roof bars.

Inside, the BMW X6 facelift just about new combinations of colors, inserts and leather upholstery to enhance the impression of sportiness, while luxury remains ubiquitous. Obviously, the facelift brings with it a new color palette for the body, and wheels with new design, up to 19 inches.

From a technical standpoint, the basic versions are petrol X6 xDrive35i (3.0 liter turbocharged six-cylinder that develops 300 hp) and X6 xDrive50i (4.4 liter turbo V8 and 400 hp), both benefiting automatic gearbox with eight steps. The M Performance Package option, the two versions can be upgraded to 15 hp and 40 hp, but the package also includes 20-inch wheels, suspension specific settings, and various exterior and interior accessories.

The top left BMW X6 M, with a 555 horsepower V8 and a 6-speed automatic gearbox M-Sport. In the diesel, we get two versions: X6 xDrive30d X6 xDrive40d to 245 hp and 306 hp, both benefiting from a common-rail diesel 3.0-liter.

Tuning the car is an industry that annually seizes large amounts of customers’ pockets. The builders in most seem to ignore this parallel reality of the auto phenomenon. The fact that in the offer of some producers we find esthetic packages that spice up the line outside and inside environments can hardly be not called tuning.

BMW decided to reserve a portion of the financial cake that is consumed in the Tuning cafeteria. That’s why launched the aftersales BMW Performance that goes far beyond of what was until now and is still offered by the Bavarian manufacturer M package. So BMW Performance is even for X6 4.0d. BMW X6 has its share of popularity and success, as confirmed by the intentions of rivals to come up with a competing model. Until then, X6 boasts with accesories from the aftersales Performance range.

The engine delivers a maximum power of 306 hp at 4,400 rpm and a torque of 600 Nm between 1,500 and 2,500 rpm. For a model with a mass of almost 2200 kg, sprint of 6.5 seconds up to 100 km/h definitely impress anyone. X6 certainly could not boast of these achievements without the contribution xDrive system. A highly efficient and fast reactions, the only minus is that it gives enormous confidence for the driver.

Therefore it takes an adjustment period at the wheel. First, to awareness the mass of the model, then to gradually discover the limits of dynamic, limits that are extremely high due to xDrive system, which afford to distribute the power to the wheels independently, depending on the pin or driving conditions. xDrive is able to distribute up to 100% of the torque on one wheel. Even though under the hood resides a 3-liter diesel, we succeeded in urban traffic a consumption of 8.1 liters. In a system that can justify the aggressive image of Performance package, it comes easily to a 12 liter.

BMW X6 xDrive40d – from 306 to 340 hp. The German tuners from Lumma Design has given yet another blow to the BMW X6, this time taking the most powerful diesel model, xDrive40d, which is equipped with a twin-turbo of 3.0-liter with six-cylinder, 306-horsepower and 600Nm of torque.

Lumma Design software updated and added a new custom exhaust system, increasing power to 340 horses and 670Nm. Other changes related to the performance include reducing the sports suspension (- 40mm) and 22-inch alloy wheels with tires of 295/30-22 in the front and 335/25-22 on the back.

On the outside they added a new front spoiler with additional LEDs, side skirts with air vents and a redesigned rear spoiler.Numerous pieces of carbon fiber, such as rear spoiler, trunk lid, rear lids are other changes outside of the BMW X6. The black and white design is continued inside, where Lumma Design uses a mixture of carbon fiber, Alcantara and aluminum.

BMW X6 sold twice the initial estimates of BMW from 2008 to now being delivered over 80,000 units. Speculating the potential of this niche, BMW like to introduce another model, a smaller platform derived from the X3, according to Autocar.

The new BMW X3 will be released later this year and depending on public response will be considered a derivative to the X6 sports model. The X4 idea is taken seriously of in the account by policy makers, but has not yet received the green light to enter the production. If they receive the approval, BMW will become the German premium manufacturer with the largest offer of crossover models.

BMW has shown that fears of cannibalization between products and offers through its X-range for almost all tastes and pockets from the urban X1 until the extravagant X6. For this reason we expect future surprises.
