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

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 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
