FIRST FACELIFT

The BMW X6 is still a unique combination of sporty dynamics and supreme versatility and with further enhanced appeal from spring 2012. Selective modifications in design and innovative equipment features hone the profile of the new BMW X6 as a distinctive model within the premium segment of all-wheel-drive automobiles.

Since its market launch, more than 150,000 of the Sporty Activity Coupé were sold within approximately three years, which far exceeded the original plans.
Modified details in the front view give the new BMW X6 an appearance characterised by exclusive athleticism and supremacy. The standard fog lights are now set in matt finish surrounds in the upper area of the outer air inlets. The striking three-dimensional modelling of the frame and newly designed bars, angled in the lower section, make the BMW kidney grille stand out especially conspicuously within the vehicle front section. As an alternative to the standard bi-xenon light, the new BMW X6 is to be fitted optionally with adaptive LED headlamps, which in the M version are standard. An optional feature for the BMW X6 is an engine compartment lid with strikingly shaped powerdome which additionally highlights the powerful appearance of the Sports Activity Coupé.
The rear lights are now two LED-fed light banks, aligned horizontally and stretch far out to the sides emphasises both the width of the vehicle and the flowing transition between the side section and rear.
The program of external paint finishes for the new BMW X6 consists of two non-metallic and eight metallic colours. The standard equipment range of the new BMW X6 also includes 19-inch light alloy wheels. In the 8-cylinder model BMW X6 xDrive 50i these now feature a new double spoke design in bi-colour. The selection of light alloy wheels available as an option is supplemented with a 20-inch version in Y-spoke, bi-colour design.
The new BMW X6 is offered as standard as a four-seater model. A three-seater rear bench is optionally available. The luggage compartment volume is 570 litres and can be extended to up to 1,450 litres by folding down the rear backrests.
The petrol and diesel engines with BMW TwinPower Turbo Technology available for the BMW X6 deliver impressive pulling power and exemplary low fuel consumption figures. The V8 engine of the BMW X6 xDrive50i delivers 300kW/407bhp, while in the BMW X6 xDrive35i an in-line 6-cylinder petrol engine with 225kW/306bhp ensures supreme athletic performance. The in-line 6-cylinder diesel engines of the models BMW X6 xDrive40d and xDrive30d mobilise 225kW/306bhp and 180kW/245bhp respectively. The engine power is transferred by means of a standard 8-speed sports transmission including shift paddles at the steering wheel. Dynamic Performance Control is a standard feature in all versions of the BMW X6 as an element of the intelligent all-wheel drive system xDrive. Dynamic Performance Control also optimises tracking stability under high transverse acceleration forces as well as traction when accelerating out of a bend. For additional enhancement of agility and supremacy, the systems Active Steering and Adaptive Drive are offered with electronically controlled dampers and roll stabilisation.
The progressive character of the new BMW X6 is also underscored by the extensive range of driver assistance systems and mobility services from BMW ConnectedDrive. In addition to BMW Head-Up-Display, features available include the systems Lane Departure Warning, Speed Limit Info, Side View and Rear View camera with Top View. The new BMW X6 is also optimised by means of intelligent networking with the integration of smartphones and music players in the vehicle and the use of innovative infotainment functions.
