1.The BMW X6. Description in Brief. 2.World Debut of the First Sports
Activity Coupé: The BMW X6. • Concept innovation: As the
creator of the Sports Activity Vehicle, BMW is now presenting the
world's first Sports Activity Coupé. • The BMW X6 offers a
brand-new, innovative interpretation of the features and design
qualities typical of a large BMW Coupé. And at the same time it
is the most sporting and dynamic rendition of a BMW X Model. Through
its design alone, the BMW X6 authentically visualises superior driving
dynamics and outstanding supremacy. • Individual and extravagant
looks: Sporting, striking front end with large air intakes, stretched
side-line, low greenhouse, clear emphasis on the wheels as an
expression of powerful presence, classic coupé proportions,
generous, convex-concave surfaces, sweeping flow of the roofline into
the powerful rear end. • The BMW X6 comes as standard with BMW's
intelligent xDrive all-wheel drive technology and is the first vehicle
in the world to offer Dynamic Performance Control for unique agility,
tracking stability, precision and traction in every situation. Variable
distribution of drive power is thus ensured not just between the front
and rear axle - by xDrive - but also, through Dynamic Performance
Control, between the two rear wheels left and right. This maintains a
superior stabilising function even under sudden load change and in
overrun. • Newly developed top-of-the-range power unit: V8 gasoline
engine with Twin Turbo technology and direct gasoline injection (High
Precision Injection), the world's first eight-cylinder gasoline engine
with the turbo-charger and catalytic converters housed in the V-section
between the two rows of cylinders. This innovative arrangement ensures
uniquely compact dimensions and serves to reduce pressure losses on the
intake and exhaust side. Capacity 4,395 cc, max output 300 kW/407 hp
from 5,500-6,400 rpm, max torque 600 Nm/442 lb-ft from 1,750-4,500 rpm.
Most efficient engine in its class, outperforming ULEV II and EU5
emission standards, BMW EfficientDynamics combined with maximum power
and performance. • Unique range of power units: V8 gasoline
engine with Twin Turbo (300 kW/407 hp), straight-six with Twin Turbo
(225 kW/306 hp), straight-six diesel with Variable Twin Turbo (210
kW/286 hp), straight-six diesel with turbocharger (173 kW/235 hp).
• Six-speed automatic transmission with optimised gearshift
dynamics standard on all engine variants, extremely fast gearshift,
supreme shift comfort, optimisation of fuel economy by converter
lock-up clutch operating largely free of slip, electronic gear selector
lever and gearshift paddles on the steering wheel featured as standard.
• The BMW X6 boasts a body structure conceived and designed for
maximum occupant safety. In combination with the car's passive safety
systems, this fulfils all prerequisites for excellent results in all
crash-tests relevant the world over. Occupant safety is ensured inter
alia by three-point inertia-reel seat belts on all seats, frontal and
side airbags as well as head airbags at the side, and crash-activated
headrests at the front. Bi-xenon dual headlights including a daytime
light function, foglamps, two-stage brake lights, and runflat tyres all
come as standard. • Innovative body and interior concept: Four-door
coupé with large tailgate opening far up to the top,
high-quality, sophisticated interior with a sporty and luxurious
ambience, four seats, large, highly adjustable luggage compartment
(570-1,450 litres/20.0-50.8 cu ft). • Interior design underlining
the outstanding, sporting character of the BMW X6. Leather sports
steering wheel with multifunction buttons and gearshift paddles
featured as standard, centre console with kneepads for the driver and
front passenger, front seats with versatile adjustment, in part
electric, two rear seats with individual seat contours typical of a
coupé and integrated headrests. • Suspension and driver
assistance systems (optional) exclusive to BMW: Adaptive Drive
(anti-roll and adaptive dampers), Active Steering, Head-Up Display,
Adaptive Headlights, Bending Lights, High-Beam Assistant, cruise
control with brake function. • Wide range of comfort functions and
innovative entertainment options: BMW iDrive with personalised
favourite buttons, CD-player compatible with an MP3, AUX-in bush
featured as standard, USP socket, multi-channel audio system, DVD
system at the rear, four-zone automatic air conditioning, active seat
ventilation, back-up camera, navigation systems, BMW Assist, BMW Online,
