BMW X6 extends its product range to include powerful xDrive50i model

The BMW X6, the world's first Sport Activity Coupé, has extended
its product range to include a more powerful X6 xDrive50i variant that
features a new 4.4-litre V8 engine with Twin Turbo technology. The
latest model joins the highly successful BMW X6 xDrive35i that was
launched in the Middle East earlier this year. The new X6 xDrive50i
model is 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, giving a maximum output of 407 hp and 442
lb-ft of torque. As with the already popular BMW X6 xDrive35i, the BMW
X6 xDrive50i comes equipped as standard with BMW's intelligent xDrive
all-wheel drive technology and Dynamic Performance Control for agility,
stability, precision and traction in any driving situation.
"We have enjoyed tremendous success throughout the region with the
new BMW X6 model that combines the sporting elegance of a large
coupé with the powerful presence of a BMW X model. Since the
launch in March, we have sold 596 models and our full year's production
is almost sold out," said Phil Horton, Managing Director, BMW
Group Middle East. "We've had many customers on the waiting list
for the X6 xDrive50i version, which offers even more power than the
current X6 xDrive35i. With the new addition to the X6 range, we expect
the X6 to contribute significantly to our full year sales growth,"
added Horton. The BMW X6 also makes use of BMW's EfficientDynamics
technology innovations that reduce fuel consumption and CO²
emissions. Both models include two new High Precision Injection (HPI)
engines and tyres with reduced rolling-resistance, delivering excellent
performance and making the X6 the most fuel efficient car in its
competitive class. Both BMW X6 xDrive35i and xDrive50i models are
available with a wide range of comfort functions and innovative
entertainment options, including BMW iDrive with personalised favourite
buttons, multi-channel audio system, DVD system at the rear, active
seat ventilation, back-up camera and advanced navigation systems.
