Singapore. BMW Group Asia announced the availability of the new BMW X5 and BMW X6, the extensively updated editions of its successful Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) and Sports Activity Coupé (SAC) respectively for the luxury segment.

The new BMW X5 and BMW X6 emphasise their inherent poise and assurance with detailed design revisions and additions to their standard specification. Also leading the way are the new systems for driving assistance, automated parking and the fully digital iDrive control/operation system with BMW Curved Display based on BMW Operating System 8.

The update provides the new BMW X5 with everything it needs to maintain worldwide market leadership in its segment and enable the new BMW X6 to secure its position as number one ahead of competitors from other premium German manufacturers. The two models are built at BMW Group Plant Spartanburg in the USA, the competence centre for BMW X models.

The new BMW X5: slim headlights.

The M Sport design elements as standard give the new BMW X5 significantly greater presence and visual robustness. Its front end is shaped by the fresh interpretation of the hallmark BMW headlights and kidney grille. The new headlight units now have a 35-millimetre slimmer outline. Their arrow-shaped daytime driving light elements point outwards and also serve as turn signal indicators. Matrix LED headlights with adaptive control and BMW Selective Beam non-dazzling high beam come as standard.

The precisely updated design of the new BMW X5 also spans newly designed air breathers in the front side panels, vertical air curtains and lower air intake, complete with decorative trim detail in Black High-gloss.

The sculptural fibre-optic light guide elements for the rear lights and brake lights now have particularly striking contouring. The L shape familiar from other BMW models is reflected horizontally, creating a consistently illuminated X motif within the rear lights.

The new BMW X6: Pitch-perfect athleticism.

The new BMW X6 also has slim headlight units with arrow-shaped daytime driving light elements. The dynamic character of the new BMW X6 is highlighted even more intently with the standard M Sport package. Playing a key role here is the octagonal frontend signature below the BMW kidney grille, with its striking side apertures and generous use of black surfaces. In addition, the three-dimensional sculpting of the front apron underscores the car’s width and brawny stature.

M-specific side skirts and M High-gloss Shadowline trim are also part of the M Sport package. The rear apron of the SAC has an insert in Dark Shadow, while the new exhaust tailpipe trims are trapezoidal in shape.

Modern cockpit design with all-digital BMW Curved Display.

Digital technology is the guiding force behind the advances brought to the interior of the new BMW X5 and BMW X6. The integration of BMW Operating System 8 and the latest generation of the iDrive control/operation system also heralds the arrival of the BMW Curved Display in the Sports Activity Vehicle and Sports Activity Coupé. It is made up of a 12.3-inch information display behind the steering wheel and a control display with a screen diagonal of 14.9 inches – both located behind a single glass surface. The touch control functionality of the control display has brought about a significant reduction in the number of buttons and switches in favour of digital control for numerous functions. The innovative cockpit and associated updates to the instrument panel bring a particularly progressive feel to the modern premium ambience.

Standard specification for both models includes sports seats, an instrument panel with surfacing in leather-like Sensafin and a curving trim element in fine wood (BMW X5) or carbon fibre (BMW X6). Another new feature is the ambient light bar with highly effective LED backlighting integrated below the trim element in the front passenger area. The relevant model lettering – “X5” or “X6” – is added to the light bar’s graphic. The control panel on the centre console includes additional touch-sensitive surfaces and a newly designed gear selector lever. The newly designed Travel & Comfort System also comes as standard.

New engine, new eight-speed Steptronic Sport transmission and systematic electrification.

The new BMW X5 and BMW X6 come as standard with a six-cylinder in-line petrol engine from the latest generation of power units. The engine now links up with the likewise new eight-speed Steptronic Sport transmission, complete with gearshift paddles on the steering wheel. It sends its power to the road – or indeed unpaved surfaces, as the need arises – via the BMW xDrive intelligent all-wheel-drive system.

The drive unit now features 48V mild hybrid technology. This application of electrification comes in the form of an electric motor integrated into the transmission. This motor generates an output boost of up to 9 kW/12 hp and 200 Nm of torque, helping the combustion engine to deliver a smooth, dynamic drive along with high efficiency.

Latest-generation six-cylinder in-line petrol engine.

Innovations affecting the combustion process, gas exchange, valve control, injection and ignition system mark out the latest-generation 3.0-litre six-cylinder in-line petrol engine at work in the new BMW X5 xDrive40i and BMW X6 xDrive40i.

The new engine develops maximum output increased by 47 hp over the outgoing model to 381 hp, plus peak torque up by 70 Nm to 520 Nm. This can be boosted to as much as 540 Nm with the input of the mild hybrid system. The engine accelerates the new BMW X5 xDrive40i and BMW X6 xDrive40i from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.4 seconds.

Sophisticated chassis technology underpins sporting ability and long-distance comfort.

The integrated braking system is a key element of the advanced chassis technology at work here. Standard specification also includes 21-inch M Y-spoke wheels for the new BMW X5 and 22-inch M V-spoke wheels for the new BMW X6.

Additional systems for assisted driving and automated parking.

Comfort and safety in the new BMW X5 and BMW X6 can be taken to another new level with a significantly expanded selection of assisted driving and automated parking systems. Updates include enhanced capabilities for the standard front-collision warning system, which can now also reduce the risk of a collision with cyclists, pedestrians or oncoming traffic when turning off a road. The standard Driving Assistant also offers Speed Limit Display with no-overtaking indicator, Lane Change Warning, Rear Crossing Traffic Warning and Rear Collision Prevention.

As well as the Reversing Assist Camera and Reversing Assistant, the standard Parking Assistant Professional enables automated parking into and out of spaces and complete manoeuvres over a distance of up to 200 metres to be controlled from outside the car using the My BMW App on an Apple iPhone.

Latest-generation BMW iDrive, new digital services.

The latest-generation BMW iDrive tech based on BMW Operating System 8 brings both the BMW Curved Display and an array of new digital services to the new BMW X5 and BMW X6. The BMW Live Cockpit Professional includes the cloud-based navigation system.

The BMW Digital Key Plus enables customers to lock and unlock their new BMW X5 or BMW X6 via security-enhanced ultra-wideband (UWB) radio technology with compatible smartphones running the iOS or Android operating system. Optimised smartphone integration and the personalised BMW ID are also on hand.

The new BMW X5 and BMW X6 are now available for viewing at all authorised BMW dealers in Singapore.

Singapore. BMW M GmbH is unveiling the third generation of its high-performance executive-class Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) and Sports Activity Coupe (SAC) models. BMW Asia and Performance Munich Autos today announced the launch of the first-ever BMW X5 M Competition and BMW X6 M Competition – these two models deliver handling agility, dynamism, and precision unmatched in their class. Their superior performance attributes combine with the versatility, extrovert design, and modern luxury of which BMW X models are renowned.

A V8 engine developing 625 hp, an M-specific chassis that has been tailored to both the engine’s performance profile and the SAV / SAC vehicle concept, as well as design features taken from the M playbook ensure imposing power and supremely controllable handling, even at the dynamic limits. The sprint from 0 to 100 km/h is dispatched in a mere 3.8 seconds for both models – the first-ever BMW X5 M Competition clocks the 0 to 200 km/h sprint in 13.4 seconds, and the first-ever BMW X6 M Competition stops the clock at 13.2 seconds for the same sprint. Both models have an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h. The intoxicating all-round performance package benefits from fine-tuning carried out during intensive testing at the BMW Group’s proving grounds, the Nürburgring-Nordschleife and other race tracks.

Significant power hike: high-revving V8 engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology developing 625 hp.

M TwinPower Turbo technology and the appetite for revs shared by all M models give the latest-generation V8 engine fitted in the first-ever BMW X5 M Competition and BMW X6 M Competition an unmistakable performance profile. Its headline character traits are instant response to the slightest movement of the accelerator, precisely controllable power delivery, and a linear wave of power into the upper echelons of the rev range under full throttle.

The 4.4-litre engine teams up with two turbochargers – positioned in the “V” between the cylinder banks – whose impact is further enhanced by a cross-bank exhaust manifold. Torque peaks at 750 Nm between 1,800 and 5,800 rpm, while the maximum output of 625 hp arrives at 3,000 rpm. The power unit’s firm connection to the vehicle’s structure results in remarkably instantaneous engine response and direct transmission of its power to the drivetrain. A super-stiff engine mounting results also makes the car sharper on turn-in while dampening the transmission of engine noise to the cabin. The M Sport exhaust system captures all of the engine’s free-revving eagerness and propulsive power to thrilling effect, generating a soundtrack of particular emotional richness.

Precise power transfer: eight-speed M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic, M xDrive and Active M Differential.

The high-performance engine in the two Competition models teams up with the latest version of the eight-speed M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic, whose gearshift characteristics can be adjusted using the Drivelogic button on the M-specific selector lever. The driver may also opt to use the M shift paddles on the steering wheel for manual control over the gear selection process.

The M xDrive all-wheel-drive system with bespoke tuning and the Active M Differential at the rear axle have been specially tuned to transfer drive to the road with characteristic élan. The two systems thus optimise traction, agility, and handling stability when the cars’ sporting capabilities are put to the test in all terrains. In the default 4WD setting, the M xDrive displays a conspicuous rear-wheel bias – it only brings the front axle into play when the rear wheels aren’t able to transmit any more power to the road, and additional tractive force is required. However, the driver can also dip into the Setup menu to select 4WD Sport mode to bring extra intensity to the driving experience, in which an even greater proportion of the engine’s torque is directed to the rear wheels.

M-specific chassis, integrated braking system.

Pulse-quickening on-road dynamism and unsurpassed ground-covering ability over off-road terrain set the tone for the new high-performance additions to the SAV and SAC segments. The first-ever BMW X5 M Competition and BMW X6 M Competition are fitted with extensive measures to optimise the stiffness of the body structure and suspension mountings. The model-specific design and tuning of the chassis technology also helps enhance handling precision. Standard specification includes the adaptive M suspension system with electronically controlled dampers, the active roll stabilisation system, and M Servotronic steering. The stiff suspension mountings on both models enable damper control to be extremely precise. The electric swivel motors on the active roll stabilization system have a high adjustment torque, enabling extremely direct damper response when absorbing bumps on the road surface or taming body roll.

M compound brakes offer outstanding stopping power combined with supreme feel and excellent comfort. The version of the integrated braking system developed for BMW M models presents the driver with two settings for brake pedal feel – COMFORT mode allows for comfort-oriented feedback, while SPORT mode makes for an extremely direct, instantaneous response.

Extrovert design, variable-use interior, luxurious ambience.

The shared racing focus of the first-ever BMW X5 M Competition and BMW X6 M Competition models is emphasised by their striking exterior designs. The combination of typical SAV / SAC proportions with signature M design features lends the first-ever BMW X5 M Competition and BMW X6 M Competition an extrovert appearance exuding supreme authority in any environment.

Large air intakes, M gills on the front side panels, aerodynamically optimised exterior mirrors, a roof / rear spoiler, a rear apron with diffuser elements and the two pairs of exhaust tailpipes lay the technical platform required to deliver standout performance. The Competition models come with distinctive design highlights, among them the BMW Laserlights feature, as well as exclusive M light-alloy wheels in 21-inch format at the front axle and 22-inch at the rear (first-ever BMW X5 M Competition: Star-spoke style 809 M Bicolour, first-ever BMW X6 M Competition: Star-spoke style 818 M Bicolour). The different rim diameters also combine with mixed tyres to optimise transmission of lateral control forces through dynamically taken corners.

Inside the high-performance models, abundant space, top-class materials, and build quality radiating precise craftsmanship create a luxurious ambience. The classy, contemporary style of the cabin is complemented by displays and controls with the familiar M treatment – the bespoke M controls, and the red splashes of colour adorning the M leather steering wheel’s M buttons plus the Start/Stop button on the centre console help the driver to dial fully into the dynamic driving experience. The restyled selector is trimmed in leather with an embossed M logo and stitching in M GmbH colours, and includes the Drivelogic switch. It also incorporates an eye-catching cut-out accentuated by the integral ambient lighting.

Both models feature a fine-grain Merino full leather trim with M-specific hexagonal quilting – this is also used for the door trim panels, the lower section of the instrument panel, the front seat backs, the door panelling, and the door pockets in leather too. A BMW Individual headliner in Alcantara anthracite is also available as standard. The luxurious interior ambience is further continued with features such as the soft-close function, as well as a Harmon Kardon sound system fitted as standard on the Competition models.

Operating system creates intense M feeling; exclusive standard equipment.

A Setup button on the centre console enables direct access to the settings for the engine, dampers, steering, M xDrive and braking system. Two individually composed variants of this M setup can be stored and called up at any time by pressing one of the two red M buttons on the steering wheel. Added to which, the information shown in the instrument cluster and Head-Up Display and the functionality of the driver assistance systems can both be varied using the M Mode button on the centre console.

In addition to ROAD and SPORT settings, the first-ever BMW X5 M Competition and BMW X6 M Competition feature a TRACK setting designed exclusively for use on race circuits. Switching to SPORT or TRACK mode reduces the amount of information appearing in the displays. In addition, the safety-enhancing interventions initiated by the driver assistance systems – such as active braking or steering inputs – are reduced to a bare minimum or deactivated altogether. The exclusive selection of equipment fitted as standard includes the BMW Head-Up Display with M-specific readouts, M multifunction seats for the driver and front passenger, and the BMW Display Key. Both models also come with the BMW Live Cockpit Professional with navigation system and the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant as standard.

The Driving Assistant Professional package provides the best in comfort and safety with features such as the Steering and lane control assistant, the Lane Keeping Assistant with active side collision protection, the Lane Change Assistant, the Evasion Assistant, the Emergency Stop Assistant and the Crossroads warning, Wrong-way warning and Front Cross Traffic Alert systems. The standard-fit Parking Assistant Plus comes to the driver’s aid when selecting and manoeuvring into parking spaces – in addition, the system includes Active Park Distance Control and camera system allowing for the Top View, Panorama View, 3D Top View and Remote 3D View functions. The Reversing Assistant also forms part of standard equipment.

The first-ever BMW X5 M Competition and BMW X6 M Competition are now available for viewing at the Performance Munich Autos showroom.

Singapore. BMW Asia, Performance Motors and Performance Munich Autos today announced the availability of the all-new BMW X6, a new edition of the model that lit the fuse for an innovative and highly distinctive breed of car: the Sports Activity Coupe (SAC).

The all-new BMW X6 blends the agile and versatile driving properties of a Sports Activity Vehicle with the head-turning looks of a coupe. The third-generation X6 employs a clean, exclusive design language to underscore its confident and commanding appearance. And advanced powertrain and chassis technology teams up with a wealth of innovations to deliver a uniquely sporting yet also luxurious driving experience. Like its predecessor, the all-new BMW X6 is produced in the US at BMW Group Plant Spartanburg.

Dynamically stretched proportions exude sporting prowess.

The all-new BMW X6 has grown by 26 millimetres in exterior length over the outgoing model (to 4,935 mm) and by 15 mm in width (to 2,004 mm). It now stands 6 mm lower (at 1,696 mm) and combines dynamically stretched proportions with exceptional visual muscularity. The car’s wheelbase has increased by 42 mm to 2,975 millimetres. The large, single-frame BMW kidney grille is the most striking feature of the front end, the outer edges of the kidney grille now approaching the headlights at a clearly defined angle.

If the optional BMW Laserlight with Adaptive LED headlights (standard on the BMW X6 M50i) is specified, a BMW Laserlight spotlight with Selective Beam optimises the non-dazzling high beam function, whose range increases to around 500 metres. BMW Laserlight can be identified by the blue x-shaped elements inside the signature BMW twin headlights. The flanks of the all-new X6 are defined by familiar BMW proportions, a crisply drawn character line and the dynamic roofline. 21-inch (BMW X6 xDrive40i) and 22-inch (BMW X6 M50i) light-alloy wheels are fitted as standard.

Interior: an exclusive ambience imbued with sporting flair.

The interior of the all-new BMW X6 is geared squarely to deliver an exclusive and dynamic driving experience. Clear structures lend the cabin a modern and sporty appearance.

The car’s height can be altered at the touch of a button in the cockpit through a maximum 80 millimetres. An off-road package is available for all model variants with the exception of the BMW X6 M50i and BMW X6 M50d, allowing the driver to choose from four modes that optimise progress over snow, sand, gravel or rocks respectively. And at the press of a button, they can also activate the ideal settings for the vehicle’s ride height, the xDrive system, accelerator response, transmission control and the DSC system’s corrective inputs.

Innovative driver assistance systems offering new functions. 
An extensive selection of standard and optional driver assistance systems mark out the new BMW X6 as an exceptionally innovative Sports Activity Coupe. Fresh from the addition of myriad new functions, the systems do an extremely effective job in enhancing comfort and safety. Standard specification for the new BMW X6 includes Cruise Control with braking function and the Collision and Pedestrian Warning with City Braking function, which also alerts the driver when a cyclist is detected. The Active Cruise Control system with Stop & Go function is available as an option.

The Driving Assistant Professional can also be found on the options list for the new BMW X6. This complete package of safety- and comfort-enhancing tech includes both the steering and lane control assistant with Traffic jam assistant and lane keeping assistant with active side collision protection. The Evasion Assistant is another component of the Driving Assistant Professional, as are the rear collision warning, road priority warning and wrong-way driving warning systems, crossing traffic warning, Lane Change Warning and the Emergency Stop Assistant. The innovative reversing assistant, which helps the driver when exiting parking spaces and manoeuvring within a confined space, represents another step en route to automated driving.

BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant is on hand to help the driver. 
The BMW Live Cockpit Professional in the new BMW X6 combines a new display and operating concept with unbeatable connectivity.

The new BMW X6 comes with the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant, an intelligent digital character who responds to the prompt “Hey BMW”. One unique feature over other digital assistants is that drivers can choose their own name for him. The arrival of the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant ensures there is always a genuine BMW professional on board. He is able to explain all sorts of different functions, provide up-to-date information and assist the driver. The range of functions and skills available will be constantly expanded as part of regular updates, which can be carried out seamlessly on a smartphone and in‑car via Remote Software Upgrade.

CO₂ EMISSIONS & CONSUMPTION.

Incomparable, irresistible:
The all-new BMW X6.

Jakarta. Today, BMW Indonesia introduced the second generation of its best-selling Sport Activity Coupé – the incomparable and irresistible all-new BMW X6. Boasting an even more sophisticated design and outstanding performance, the all-new BMW X6 strengthens its position as a leader in exclusive driving pleasure.

“The BMW X6 is the only Sports Activity Coupé in its segment which has already posted global sales of almost quarter of a million. The dynamic vehicle also enjoys a special status among its BMW X model rivals thanks to its irresistible allure, intoxicating performance attributes and innovative luxury,” said Karen Lim, President Director BMW Group Indonesia. “Starting in June, the new BMW X6 xDrive35i will meet the individual requirements of Indonesian customers in terms of charisma, luxury and dynamics,” added Karen.

The Design : Extrovert Athleticism

The design of the all-new BMW X6 body combines the robust presence of a BMW X model with the hallmark elegance of the brand’s Coupés to create an athletic appearance. The long bonnet, long wheelbase, short front overhang and set-back passenger compartment are characteristic design features of a BMW. Its high window sill and large wheel arches, plus the short distance between the front axle and the instrument panel, all indicate stability, highlighting the Sports Activity Coupé’s ties to the BMW X model family.

Dynamic proportions and flowing lines symbolise the all-new BMW X6’s agile handling on the road, while the muscular aspects of the vehicle’s design demonstrate its versatility and appetite for action off the beaten track. At the front end of the vehicle, the X-shaped contour lines of the bumper, the matt-silver underbody protection, the powerful design of the BMW kidney grille and the arrangement of the twin circular headlights and front foglamps are the most prominent signature features of a BMW X model. Sweeping chrome inserts and the three-dimensional design of the lights underline the sophisticated character of the Adaptive LED Headlights.

The side view of the all-new BMW X6 is likewise defined by eye-catching lines and sharply-drawn contours. The wedge shape of the silhouette is accentuated by a model-specific interpretation of the double swage lines. At the rear, the three-dimensional LED light strips of the two-section, L-shaped rear lights create a striking night-time look.

Interior: sporting elegance, modern luxury & advanced functionality.

The interior combines generous space with model-specific sports features and a luxurious ambience, while attractive design and equipment packages further highlight the exclusive style of the all-new BMW X6.

The all-new BMW X6 comes with standard equipment which goes well beyond the previous model. The ambient lighting designs included in the lighting package lend extra emphasis to the visual unity between the instrument panel and door panels. LED units arranged in a wrap-around contour line, as well as in other areas of the interior, create an alluring effect. Blue, white and orange light can be selected, either in monochrome or in six pre-stored combinations, via the iDrive system .

A 10.25-inch flatscreen Control Display comes as part of the standard-fitted iDrive operating system. Automatic tailgate operation and the 8-speed Steptronic sports transmission with steering wheel shift paddles are all included, as are leather trim, and four-zone air conditioning. The variability of the interior has also been improved. The rear seat backrests can now be split/folded 40 : 20 : 40, allowing the capacity of the load compartment to be increased in stages from 580 to a maximum 1,525 litres.

Design Pure Extravagance: lending the exterior and interior an exclusive aura.

The all-new BMW X6 comes with the Pure Extravagance equipment package, which adds striking, high-quality accents to the exterior. The Pure Extravagance package gives the all-new BMW X6 an exclusive appearance with a host of details, some of which – in addition to their uniform Cerium Grey colour scheme - also have a model-specific design. These include optical underbody protection elements in stainless steel for the front and rear apron; distinctive trim for the Air Breathers on the front side panels, the trim strip on the trailing edge of the tailgate and the exterior mirror caps; and 20-inch light-alloy wheels in V-spoke design and bi-colour finish with mixed-size tyres.

The Pure Extravagance package for the exterior is combined with the interior finished in ‘Dakota’ leather upholstery for the sport seats and BMW Individual ‘Walknappa’ leather for the instrument panel. The vehicle’s luxurious interior ambience is rounded off by Aluminium fine cutting interior trim strips.

Majestic performance: noticeably greater dynamic ability, fuel consumption cut by up to 22 percent & permanently active intelligent all-wheel drive.

The all-new BMW X6 is being launched as BMW X6 xDrive35i with a powerful three-liter BMW TwinPower Turbo inline 6-cylinder petrol engine with twin-scroll turbocharger, Valvetronic, Double VANOS and High Precision Injection.

The all-new BMW X6 is blessed with exceptional efficiency and great performance abilities, an eight-speed Steptronic sport transmission with average fuel consumption (as per EU test cycle) of 11.8 km/liter and CO2 emissions of 198g/km. The three-liter engine generates 306 hp and reaches 100 km/h from standstill in just 6.4 seconds with a top speed of 240 km/h.The standard – and permanently active – intelligent all-wheel-drive system, BMW xDrive, optimises traction, directional stability and cornering dynamics, as the situation requires.

Further refined ride comfort can be achieved courtesy of air suspension at the rear axle and Dynamic Damper Control, which are included in the Comfort adaptive suspension package.

Extended BMW EfficientDynamics technology as standard .

As well as the COMFORT, SPORT and SPORT+ settings, the Driving Experience Control switch on the centre console also allows the driver to activate ECO PRO mode. In ECO PRO mode, the engine management, accelerator response and transmission characteristics are systematically tailored to support a very fuel-efficient, low-rpm driving style. At the same time, ECO PRO mode also programs electrically-powered functions like the climate control, heated seats and heated exterior mirrors for extra-efficient energy management. ECO PRO mode also includes a coasting function, which decouples the engine from the rest of the powertrain whenever the driver lifts off the accelerator at speeds between 50 and 160 km/h and doesn’t brake at the same time. This allows the new BMW X6 to coast without engine braking, ensuring maximised fuel efficiency.

The BMW Head-Up Display.

For the all-new BMW X6, the BMW Head-Up Display – which projects important information in full colour onto the windscreen – now includes additional content. When required, telephone contact lists and entertainment information can also be projected into the driver’s direct field of view. As well as vehicle speed, 3D graphics also show Check Control messages, navigation information – including lane recommendations – and further information supplied by the driver assistance systems.

Innovative features and BMW ConnectedDrive.
Adaptive LED headlights, Comfort Access and other high-class equipment underline the innovative character of the all-new BMW X6. Driving pleasure and long-distance comfort, meanwhile, is further enhanced by features including the Navigation System Professional with Touch Controller and -Harman/Kardon surround sound system with 600 W output.

The multifunctional LCD instrument display combines round instruments with chrome rings and high-resolution 10,25” display using black-panel technology. The different drive characteristics ECO PRO, Comfort and Sport are staged in characteristic designs in accordance with the mode selected at the Driving Experience Control including ECO PRO Power and torque readings.

The all-new BMW X6 xDrive35i will be available at BMW Authorized Dealers from June 2015. The vehicle will be offered at a price of Rp. 1,889,000,000 off-the-road, and comes with BMW Service Inclusive, which includes free-of-charge regular maintenance for 5 years or 60,000 km, whichever comes first, as well as a 36-month warranty without mileage limitations.

The new BMW X6.

Imposing performance, exemplary efficiency.

Singapore. BMW Group Asia has unveiled the second-generation BMW X6, Sports Activity Coupé (SAC), which is armed with an even more potent design presence and outstanding performance. The new BMW X6 xDrive50i makes its local debut with the latest-generation V8-engine that can generate up to 450hp and a peak torque of up to 650Nm. 

The BMW X6 has already posted global sales of almost 260,000 and enjoys a special status among BMW X model rivals thanks to its irresistible allure, intoxicating performance attributes and innovative luxury.

“The new BMW X6 offers a majestic performance with noticeably greater dynamic ability at a reduced fuel consumption rate by as much as 22 percent thanks to BMW EfficientDynamics features like BMW TwinPower Turbo technology, weight-saving optimisations and enhanced aerodynamics,” said Mr. Sethipong Anutarasoti, Corporate Affairs Director of BMW Group Asia. “The new BMW X6 is also powered by the intelligent all-wheel drive system BMW xDrive, which optimises traction, directional stability and cornering dynamics as the situation requires.”

The extrovert design of the new BMW X6 blends the robustness and versatility of a BMW X model with the sporting elegance typical of the brand’s Coupés. The interior combines generous space with model-specific sports features and a luxurious ambience, while attractive design and equipment packages further highlight the exclusive style of the new BMW X6.

Efficient Dynamics: BMW TwinPower Turbo technology.

The flagship engine for the new BMW X6 is a V8 petrol unit. The latest version of the 4.4-litre engine at the heart of the new BMW X6 xDrive50i increases the predecessor model’s maximum output by 10 percent – to 450 hp (+43 hp) – yet posts a 22 percent drop in average fuel consumption. The engine’s suite of BMW TwinPower Turbo technology now welcomes VALVETRONIC variable valve timing alongside its two turbochargers and High Precision Direct Petrol Injection, endowing the eight-cylinder engine with improved responsiveness and pulling power and also giving it extra efficiency. Peak torque of 650 Nm (+50 Nm) is now on tap between 2,000 and 4,500 rpm, and the new BMW X6 xDrive50i powers from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds (+ 0.6 seconds improvement) against the previous model. Fuel consumption is 9.7 l/100km and CO2 emissions stand at 227 g/km (according to average EU test cycle).

BMW xDrive and Dynamic Performance Control:

Intelligent all-wheel drive and torque vectoring.

By constantly shifting drive between the front and rear wheels as required, BMW xDrive provides a very special take on the driving pleasure for which BMW is renowned. In its latest version, the transfer case of the intelligent all-wheel drive displays enhanced efficiency and a 1.4 kg reduction in weight. The link-up between the all-wheel-drive system and DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) even allows the drive split to be adjusted in advance. As a result, all-wheel-drive performance is on hand even before slip can occur – not only on loose ground, but also through dynamically taken corners – and the engine’s full power is transformed into driving pleasure.

Dynamic Performance Control allows the distribution of power to be even more finely adjusted. Likewise electronically controlled, this system is integrated into the rear differential. Working in tandem with xDrive, it creates an intoxicating blend of handling dynamics and directional stability. Dynamic Performance Control, which is available as part of the optional Dynamic and Professional adaptive suspension packages, seamlessly varies the power split between the rear wheels (torque vectoring). This results in further noticeable improvements in steering response and roadholding at all speeds. Dynamic Performance Control maintains its stabilising action if the driver lifts off the accelerator through a corner.

The all-wheel driving experience is further enriched – above all off the beaten track – by the new xDrive status display in the Control Display. Boasting 3D graphics, this standard-fitted feature shows real-time information on body roll and pitch. In vehicles equipped with the optional Navigation System Professional, a compass display is additionally shown in the instrument cluster. Also contributing to safe and self-assured progress on challenging terrain is the standard Hill Descent Control (HDC) system.

Chassis and body:

A compelling fusion of dynamics and comfort.

The ongoing evolution of the Sports Activity Coupé concept has enabled the new BMW X6 to offer an even broader variety of qualities than its predecessor. Enhanced dynamics go hand in hand with improved efficiency, the car’s sporting prowess and versatility have been optimised, as have ride comfort and safety, the cabin ambience has gained in luxury and interior functionality has also been taken to the next level. Much of the credit for this eye-catching progress across all areas goes to the targeted advances in chassis technology made with the new BMW X6 and a body structure rooted in the principle of intelligent lightweight design.

The combination of a double-wishbone, double-joint front axle and the integral rear axle patented by BMW – which proved its mettle in the previous model and has since benefited from detailed optimisation – underpins a blend of sporting agility and impressive ride comfort that none of its rivals can match. Further improvements have been made in various areas, including the car’s directional stability, the friction coefficient of the wheel bearings, tyre noise and weight, which has been reduced by 2kg at the front axle alone. The optional trailer coupling now has an electrically swivelling ball head and allows towing capacity of up to 3.5 tonnes. When in use, the trailer stability control system integrated into the DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) system is activated. This system is highly effective in preventing possible rolling motions through the trailer by means of carefully calculated brake inputs.

The new BMW X6 is fitted as standard with Electric Power Steering including Servotronic speed-sensitive power assistance. Meanwhile, Active Steering – available as an option – also adjusts the steering ratio to the car’s current speed. This reduces the steering effort required for low-speed manoeuvring, for example, and provides precise responses and clear feedback at high speeds. The electromechanical parking brake with Auto Hold function is also standard specification on the new BMW X6.

Intelligent lightweight design: increased body rigidity, reduced weight.

The success of the intelligent lightweight design techniques applied in the development of the body structure for the new BMW X6 can be seen in the car’s fuel consumption as well as its agility in the hands of a sporty driver. Measures such as the considered use of high and ultra-high tensile as well as hot-stamped steels lend the body improved torsional stiffness compared with the predecessor model and increase the strength of the safety passenger cell.

Employing ultra-high-strength steels, and the use of thermoplastics in the side panels, aluminium in the bonnet and magnesium in the instrument panel support, all help to reduce the car’s weight. Overall, the significantly expanded standard specification of the new car compared to its predecessor has not, therefore, led to higher numbers on the scales. In actual fact, given identical equipment levels the new BMW X6 would actually be up to 40 kg lighter, depending on the model. Moreover, this intelligent mix of materials helps to achieve a virtually 50:50 weight distribution.

The new BMW X6 also sets new standards when it comes to aerodynamics. Air Curtains, Air Breathers, optimised airflow over the rear, air deflectors on the front wheel arches, cooling air flaps (depending on the model) which can be actively closed in both the upper and the lower section of the front end, and an array of other details allow the car’s drag coefficient to drop significantly.

Design Pure Extravagance and M Sport package:

For enhanced functionality and exclusivity.

A particularly extensive selection of optional extras, the new Design Pure Extravagance equipment variant and the model-specific M Sport package create additional scope for tailoring the new BMW X6 precisely to individual requirements in terms of charisma, luxury and dynamics.

Customers can choose from six colours for the standard Dakota leather trim, including the new variants Cognac and Coral red with black accent seams. Also on the options list are sports seats, comfort seats, electric seat adjustment with memory function and active seat ventilation. Four-zone climate control can be specified as an alternative to the standard two-zone system, allowing individual temperature and ventilation control in the rear compartment as well. Driving pleasure and long-distance comfort can also be enhanced with features including the Navigation System Professional with Touch Controller, the Bang & Olufsen high-end surround-sound system and the new Rear Entertainment System Professional. All model variants of the new BMW X6 feature 19-inch light-alloy wheels as standard. Further 19-inch as well as 20-inch light-alloys are optionally available.

Optimised functionality: variable-use load compartment, hands-free tailgate opening and closing. The variability of the interior has also been raised another notch. The rear seat backrests can now be split/folded 40:20:40, allowing the capacity of the load compartment to be increased in stages from 580 to a maximum 1,525 litres. There are 10/75 litres of extra storage space in the new BMW X6 compared with the predecessor model. Numerous stowage compartments, plus door pockets which can accommodate 1.5-litre bottles at the front and one-litre bottles in the rear, also contribute to impressive levels of functionality in everyday and touring use.

Automatic tailgate operation is also included in the standard specification for the new BMW X6. The tailgate can now be both opened and closed via remote control and from the driver’s seat at the touch of a button. Maximum convenience when it comes to loading and unloading the new BMW X6 is provided by the hands-free tailgate opening and closing function, which comes as part of the optional Comfort Access feature. Sensors detect foot movements underneath the rear apron and send out signals which prompt the electric tailgate into action.

The tailgate comes as standard with a Soft Close Automatic function, which is also available for the doors as an option. The new BMW X6 can also be ordered with an electrically operated glass sunroof whose surface has the same width but is almost 12 cm longer than on the predecessor model. The optional roof rails can be specified in two variants: high-gloss black and Aluminium satinated.

Design Pure Extravagance:

Lending the exterior and interior an exclusive aura.

Customers keen to experience the new BMW X6 beyond its standard form may well be attracted by a design and equipment variant which provides a particularly vivid showcase for the assured presence and exclusive aura of the Sports Activity Coupé. A new Design Pure Extravagance option is available for both the exterior and the interior, with each package also available separately to complement standard specification. In addition, the Design Pure Extravagance line for the interior can be combined with the M Sport package.

The Design Pure Extravagance option for the exterior helps give the new BMW X6 an unmistakably exclusive appearance with a host of details, some of which – in addition to their uniform Cerium Grey colour scheme – also have a model-specific design. These include optical underbody protection elements in stainless steel for the front and rear apron, illuminated door sill strips and footplates in aluminium for the driver’s and front passenger’s door, kidney grille bars with a distinctive geometry, bespoke inserts and bars for the air intakes, distinctive trim for the Air Breathers on the front side panels, the trim strip on the trailing edge of the tailgate, and the exterior mirror caps. Adding a unique flourish to the side view is the combination of exterior mirror bases and B- and C-pillar trim in high-gloss black, plus aluminium surrounds in Cerium Grey for the side windows and exterior mirror caps. Another exclusive feature of the Design Pure Extravagance line for the exterior are 20-inch light-alloy wheels in V-spoke design and bi-colour finish with mixed-size tyres.

The Design Pure Extravagance package for the interior is available in a choice of two similarly stylish variants sporting different colour schemes. This option centres around Exclusive Nappa leather trim with extended features, an equipment item that includes seat surfaces in the new Ivory White/Black or Cognac/Black bi-colour variants. The particularly high-grade leather in Ivory White or Cognac is applied to the seats, centre console, armrests and door panels. In addition, the upper-arm trim panels and instrument panel are both lined with black fulled leather which, like the black bolsters of the seat surfaces and backrests, are adorned with contrast stitching. Depending on the colour selected for the leather trim, the car’s exclusive interior ambience is rounded off by American Oak or Fineline Stripe fine wood interior trim strips. The Design Pure Extravagance line for the interior also comprises a car key with buttons in Pearl Gloss Chrome.

Making a clear case for maximum dynamics:

M Sport package for the new BMW X6.

A model-specific M Sport package can also be ordered for the new BMW X6 from launch. The dynamic character of the Sports Activity Coupé is accentuated by aerodynamically optimised body elements with large air intakes at the front end, strikingly contoured side skirts, a diffuser insert for the rear apron, as well as a bespoke BMW kidney grille design with bars in aluminium matt and high-gloss chrome exhaust tailpipe embellishers in the style of the eight-cylinder model. The lower borders of the wheel arches along with the side skirts are painted in body colour. The M Sport package also includes BMW Individual High-gloss Shadow Line trim, 19-inch M light-alloy wheels in twin-spoke design, Adaptive M suspension with specially tuned Dynamic Damper Control, and rear-axle air suspension with automatic self-levelling.

As well as aluminium door sill strips bearing the M logo and the anthracite-coloured BMW Individual roof liner, features including electrically adjustable sports seats for the driver and front passenger in leather/Alcantara, interior trim strips in Aluminium Hexagon and an M leather steering wheel all combine to bring an intense aura of sporty driving to the interior of the new BMW X6. A specially designed car key is also part of the M Sport package.

The new BMW X6 will also be available on indent basis in two other engine variants; BMW X6 xDrive35i and BMW X6 xDrive30d.

The new BMW X6 is available for viewing at Performance Motors’ showroom from 15 January 2015.

Singapore. BMW Asia today introducedthe new BMW X6, which now comes with enhanced appeal to augment the unique combination of sporty dynamics and supreme versatility that this world’s first ever Sports Activity Coupé already offers. 

The new BMW X6 is also offered with the BMW Individual program, which includes BMW Individual Paintwork, BMW Individual Leather and BMW Individual Interior Trim.

“The new BMW X6 is a distinctive model that is well-liked for its highly expressive design and unique combination between the athleticism and elegance of a coupé and the supremacy of a BMW X model. Coupled with the BMW Individual program, revised looks and equipped with standard M Sport Edition for the first time, the new BMW X6 is made even more compelling than before,” said Mr Neil Fiorentinos, Managing Director of BMW Group Asia. “Further, it offers a fascinating driving experience which is driven by a powerful petrol engine fitted with BMW TwinPower Turbo Technology and the intelligent all-wheel-drive system xDrive, which comes with Dynamic Performance Control.”

“More than 150,000 units of the BMW X6 have already been sold since its initial market launch about three years ago, and this has far exceeded our expectations. The demand for this Sports Activity Coupé continues to grow strong and is definitely a firm affirmation for its unique yet popular design,” concluded Mr Fiorentinos. 

The BMW Individual Paintwork.

In line with the understatement embodied in the BMW design language that governs all model series, the experts at BMW Individual always try to harmonize each customer's wishes with the BMW philosophy. The Individual paintwork is more than a color: It captivates its customers through its unique brilliance and sophisticated iridescent effects. Thanks to a fine pigmentation, changing nuances appear, depending on how the light falls, which give the surface a new dimension and depth. The intrinsic excitement of the color black is demonstrated in three variations: including Azurite Black metallic, Ruby Black metallic and Citrine Black metallic. When it comes to avant-garde exterior colors: the elegant, light shades of Pearl Silver metallic preferred particularly by buyers in sunny regions: Under blue skies, this paint finish shines with a special glamour.

The BMW Individual Leather.

The Merino leather used by BMW Individual is characterized by its uniquely refined appeal, extreme durability and comfort. Gentle tanning methods and "barrel pigmentation", in which the dye penetrates through intensive rotation and is not just applied to the surface; give this material its richness of color, strength and durability. The living structure of this leather comes from its natural graining rather than artificial embossing. The finish applied in the semi-aniline process stops fading caused by light, and yet the leather stays breathable. The combination of all these sophisticated yet gentle processes produces seats that are as soft and as smooth as velvet. BMW Individual will offer customers five color choices of Merino leather: Platinum, Champagne, Slate, Criollo Brown and Amaro Brown.

BMW Individual Interior trimmings.

It’s the many details that make the difference with BMW Individual. The BMW Individual interior trimmings available include; the BMW Individual fine-wood trim with a sophisticated red-brown, figured eucalyptus finishing; a Piano Black finishing; and “Wallenappa” finishing with braided black patterning, akin to a carbon fibre weave look that evokes a sporty and emotional mood – all of which comes with a high gloss finish.       

Attractive supplements to the program of external paint finishes, light alloy wheel and leather trim.

The program of external paint finishes for the new BMW X6 consists of an attractive range of standard colours and opens up the possibilities of bespoke customization with BMW Individual range. The available BMW Individual colours include: Citrine Black metallic, Ruby Black metallic, Azurite Black metallic and Pearl Silver metallic.

The standard equipment range of the new BMW X6 also includes 20-inch light alloy wheels. In all new BMW X6 models, these now feature a new double spoke design in bi-colour. 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 standard leather trim Nevada is now also available in the colour Vermilion Red. The exclusive nappa leather option with extended features now includes a choice between the colours Black and Ivory White. The new BMW X6 is offered as standard as a five-seater model. The luggage compartment volume of the Sports Activity Coupé is 570 litres and can be extended to up to 1,450 litres by folding down the rear backrests.

The M Sport Edition is further offered as standard for the new BMW X6. This attractive equipment package includes 20-inch M light alloy wheels in double spoke design and bi-colour finish with mixed tyres, adaptive LED headlamps, BMW Individual high-gloss Shadow Line, black surrounds for the fog lights and M door sill cover strips. The striking accentuations for the exterior are supplemented with a sporty interior ambience. Features here include the sports seats with electrical adjustment and memory function, Alcantara/Nappa leather combination in black with M-style welt and contrast stitching, M leather steering wheel with shift paddles, stainless steel pedals, interior strips in Aluminium Flywheel black and the BMW Individual roof liner in anthracite.

Striking accentuations at the front and rear, adaptive LED headlamps as standard.

Precisely 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. Their higher and more lateral position emphasises the width of the vehicle. 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. The angle of the grille bars is flush with the bottom of the headlamp units, thereby creating an additional horizontal line which likewise highlights the wide track and stable road-holding of the new BMW X6.

As an alternative to the bi-xenon light, the new BMW X6 is the first vehicle in its segment to be fitted standard with adaptive LED headlamps. Their bright white light ensures optimum visibility, while their high-quality appearance represents a new interpretation of the brand's hallmark twin circular headlamps. The three dimensionally shaped luminous rings of the adaptive LED headlamps are strikingly levelled off both at the top and bottom and are overlaid at the upper edge by an LED-fed accent light. The light sources for low and high beam light are LED units positioned on a horizontal bar at its centre, feeding their light into the reflectors in front.

With its newly designed rear lights with LED technology, the powerfully shaped rear section of the new BMW X6 also features more intense styling. The rear lights are now two LED-fed light banks which create the brand's hallmark night design as a harmoniously glowing light mass. The fact that they are horizontally aligned 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 new BMW X6: dynamic, supreme, efficient, innovative.

With the market launch of the new BMW X6, the combination of supreme appearance, agile driving properties and hallmark brand efficiency so characteristic of the Sports Activity Coupé is raised to a new level. The petrol 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 407 bhp, while in the BMW X6 xDrive35i an in-line 6-cylinder petrol engine with 306 bhp ensures supreme athletic performance.

The engine power of the new BMW X6 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. This gives greater precision to the electronically controlled power distribution so as to optimise driving stability, traction and dynamic performance. It particularly comes to bear when taking bends in sporty style. Even as the car enters the bend, xDrive feeds additional power to the rear wheels so as to support an agile turn-in response. By means of continuously variable distribution of drive torque between the rear wheels, 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 for the Sports Activity Coupé include the optional systems Lane Departure Warning, Speed Limit Info, as well as, Side View and Rear View camera with Top View which comes standard. 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.

The new BMW X6 is now available for viewing at Performance Motors’ showroom.

About Performance Motors Limited (PML)

Performance Motors Limited (PML) is a member of the Sime Darby Group and the distributor of BMW cars and BMW motorcycles in Singapore since 1979.

PML has achieved various accolades in the area of sales achievement and service excellence in its 30-year history in the luxury segment.

In an industry first in 2002, PML initiated a customer lifestyle and rewards programme which most recently evolved into the ‘BMW 7 Series Privileges Programme Plus’ – a distinctive lifestyle and rewards programme that is exclusively available to owners of the new BMW 7 Series in Singapore. Five exclusive premium experiences covering golfing, driving, yachting, travelling and lifestyle have been specially designed with the discerning taste of the BMW 7 Series customer in mind.

In 2003 and 2004, PML received awards from BMW Asia in recognition of the BMW 7 Series’ segment leadership. In 2005, PML added to its collection of BMW awards with the Best Sales performance in the Asia region.

The year 2005 marked a significant milestone when record PML sales established BMW as the leading premium car brand in Singapore and for three consecutive years (2005, 2006 and 2007).

The flagship BMW 7 Series limousines, used to transport world leaders during the 2006 World Bank meetings and all key government events in 2007, was once again reaffirmed as the choice for leaders as the official car for various high-profile events such as Barclays Singapore Open, the ASEAN Ministerial Meetings and the Singapore Airshow.

PML opened the new Performance Centre, the benchmark BMW Sales and Aftersales facility in Asia, in September 2008. The existing two premises at Sime Darby Centre and East Coast Centre continue to serve BMW customers and strengthen PML’s service excellence in conjunction with the new Performance Centre at 303 Alexandra Road.

In 2011, PML achieved a milestone by becoming the first ever luxury car brand and dealer to surpass the competition, in a highly competitive car market that has traditionally been dominated by volume driven marques. This is the first ever situation anywhere in the world where BMW is the leading car brand.

Munich. Outstanding driving dynamics and unique design made the BMW X6
the clear favourite of the "Off Road" specialist magazine
readership. Winning by a clear margin, the first Sports Activity Coupe
in the world scored top marks in the "Four by Four of the Year
2009" competition's "Crossover" category. The finishing
touches to the BMW X models' success story were added when the BMW X5
was selected third in the "Luxury SUV" category. The
excellent score that BMW X models achieved during the "Off
Road" reader survey is a reflection of the undiminished attraction
of BMW X models and proves the successful reinterpretation of their
most important features in the context of a completely new vehicle
segment. The superior driving dynamics of the winning Sports Activity
Coupe BMW X6 are underlined by the model's coupe-like line arrangement
and powerful stance, which made their presence felt from the first.
The new vehicle concept is closely connected with a unique driving
experience. Dynamic Performance Control, introduced with the BMW X6,
carries out the variable distribution of drive power between the front
and rear wheels not only by means of the electronically controlled BMW
xDrive all-wheel-drive but also between both rear wheels, thus
consistently adjusting to driving conditions at all times and in all
situations. Attributes such as agility, steering precision, stability
and traction are raised to new dimensions. Due to its modern drive
technology, which includes the integration of extensive BMW
EfficientDynamics technology, the BMW X6 also meets the requirements for
reduced consumption and emission rates. An EU test cycle showed an
average fuel consumption of 8.2 litres for 100 kilometres. With this
result, the 173 kW/235 hp BMW X6 xDrive30d has achieved an efficiency
that until quite recently would have been regarded as inconceivable for
its category and performance class. Exactly ten years ago, the German
manufacturer of premium cars laid down the foundations of the BMW X
models' success by launching the predecessor of the current BMW X5 -
the first Sports Activity Vehicle. The BMW X5 with its unique
combination of sporting on-road characteristics and confident off-road
traction defined new standards. Its predecessor boosted the
attractiveness of the Sports Activity Vehicle concept not just in terms
of dynamic driving but also with the combination of luxurious appeal
with high functionality in the interior and the exemplary efficiency of
its drive technology. Accolades awarded by the "Off Road"
specialist magazine rate high among manufacturers of all-wheel drive
cars. They are based on the assessment of a readership whose
substantial expertise and strong affinity to and fascination for
off-road driving is on a par with that of the magazine's highly
competent and experienced editorial team. Last year, "Off
Road" magazine celebrated its thirtieth anniversary. The
magazine's highly qualified readership has been taking part in the
annual selection of the most popular off-road vehicles in the German
market since 1982. The current success in the "Off Road"
reader survey is yet another achievement in a series of awards won by
BMW X models in the recent past. Sales figures in this segment are
another indicator of the sustained success of BMW X models. Ten years
after the launch of the BMW X5, more than 1.3 million BMW X models have
been sold, more than 243,000 of these in 2008 alone. Their enormous
popularity was a major contribution to the fact that BMW successfully
consolidated its position as the most successful global supplier of
all-wheel drive premium cars in 2008. A total of 27% of all newly
registered BMW models are equipped with xDrive and the near future will
bring yet another expansion of the BMW X range. In addition to the BMW
X6, BMW X5 and BMW X3 models, the car manufacturer will soon launch the
new BMW X1. This new model will re-interpret the characteristic
attributes of this vehicle segment in the context of the premium
compact category.

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,
