• 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.

• 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, multichannel audio system, DVD
system at the rear, 4-zone automatic air conditioning, Active Seat Ventilation,
back-up camera, navigation systems, BMW Assist, BMW Online, BMW TeleServices
optional.

• The BMW X6 is manufactured exclusively for the world market at the 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 and BMW Z4 are
built on a shared assembly line at the Spartanburg plant.
