• 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, by means of 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 petrol engine with
Twin Turbo technology and direct petrol injection (High Precision Injection),
the world's first 8-cylinder petrol 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 petrol engine with Twin Turbo
(300 kW/407 bhp), in-line 6-cylinder with Twin Turbo (225 kW/306 bhp),
in-line 6-cylinder diesel with Variable Twin Turbo (210 kW/286 bhp),
in-line 6-cylinder diesel with turbocharger (173 kW/235 bhp).
• 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 among other things
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, fog
lamps, two-stage brake lights, and runflat tyres all come as standard.
• Innovative body and interior concept: 4-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 knee pads
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 with variable light distribution and turning
light, High Beam Assistant, cruise control with brake function.

BMW Spartanburg plant in South Carolina/USA according to the company's high
quality standards which apply worldwide. Production at this site
is highly flexible according to customer wishes. Currently, the BMW X6, BMW X5
