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.

Until now, if you wanted to make a unique BMW, and when I say to make a unique BMW I am referring to a perspective of dynamic-sport, or opt for outdoor and indoor MPOWER package, or began to rummage through the offer tuner.

The second option was to remove the minus largely personality model, each tuner trying its products to create a more powerful and at the same time, different from the competition. Therefore, if you choose the tuner version, you could say that there you are a BMW owner, but not one that preserves the original spirit of the brand. And so BMW decided to provide a program after sales for BMW enthusiasts. The program is attractive enough to cover most applications.

But let us not forget, BMW Performance addresses to those who want a series model something sportier that came out from the factory. Starting from the outside, which can be personalized with an aerodynamic kit that includes spoiler’s front / rear redesigned and in addition a carbon rear diffuser of the same material and the housing of mirrors are from carbon fiber. It includes redesigned side skirts. Installing an outdoor kit BMW Performance takes about two and a half hours depending on model and condition.

And if you opt for carbon exterior accessories, add one hour to the time spent in service. But the true secrets of BMW Performance Division are found in the body. We’re talking about brakes changed, provided by Brembo, which are included the ventilated front brake discs and perforated piston calipers with six still to front, rear ventilated discs with plus two piston calipers. To these we add the recalibration, DSC and DTC ABS. A complete change of the braking system holds the car in service Performance for three hours and a half. Changing the disks on a BMW 135i takes 45 minutes.

Inside, you can choose to replace some trim with carbon, but the most exotic elements are the front seats and Performance steering wheel. Speaking of sports version of the steering wheel is clad in Alcantara and offers a sensational setting – this is provided at the top with a display controlled by two buttons. Can be viewed on the wheel the lap times, times are stored for up to 30 rounds per 400 meters sprint and 0-40 km / h, 0-60 km / h, and the list goes on.
