BMW X6: Perfect synthesis of maximum driving dynamics and supreme travelling comfort
You will be fascinated by its elegance, inspired by its agility and impressed by its presence. The BMW X6 unites agility, performance and athletic design in a large BMW coupé with the versatility and raised seating position normally only found in an Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV). Once again BMW has defined a completely new vehicle concept.
And if that isn’t impressive enough, the BMW X6 also offers two world premieres: standard Dynamic Performance Control and the completely newly developed TwinPower Turbo V8 petrol engine with direct petrol injection – the most efficient engine in its class. It also features BMW Efficient Dynamics, a technology package that provides increased driving dynamics with lower fuel consumption. The package includes technologies such as Brake Energy Regeneration, air vent control and intelligent lightweight construction. Experience a coupé like no other.
Six-speed sport automatic transmission.
The athletic six-pack as others would call it, the six-speed sport automatic transmission comes with shift paddles on the steering wheel, combining driving pleasure with driving safety. Select the manual mode, and the car responds with even quicker gearshifts and tighter accelerator response.
Dynamic Performance Control.
For the first time in a BMW, Dynamic Performance Control gives the BMW X6 a unique quality. Seamless drive distribution to the left and right rear wheels improves track stability, regardless of whether the driver is accelerating or not. That means you can enter bends more precisely and cross-accelerate faster with optimized grip when you accelerate out. Together with xDrive All-Wheel Drive, Dynamic Performance Control delivers enhanced agility and dynamics on all surfaces.
Adaptive Drive.
The perfect synthesis of maximum driving dynamics and supreme travelling comfort. Adaptive Drive stands for unrivalled steering precision and tracking stability during fast cornering in the BMW X6 M.
Intelligent interlinking of the active chassis control systems Dynamic Drive and Electronic Damper Control (EDC) form the centrepiece of a genuine “high-end” chassis: Designed specifically for M and lowered by 10 mm, it palpably reduces the load alteration effect. The BMW X6 M masters fast cornering as well as sharp braking or acceleration with practically no rolling of the body.
You can adapt numerous settings individually to achieve driving characteristics that match your wishes entirely: via the EDC button on the gear selection lever or using the M Drive button on the steering wheel, which can call up the pre-programmed vehicle configurations for a distinctly sporty or more comfortable ride.
The xDrive Technology
The xDrive technology in the BMW X6 M distributes 555 hp of driving force flexibly over all four wheels, thus ensuring optimum traction and the typical M driving sensation in all weather conditions.
Sensors in the DSC chassis control system detect the first signs of a loss in traction on one or more of the wheels, e.g. on a slippery carriageway. The power distribution is shifted instantly to match the road conditions so that the wheels with the highest traction each receive the optimum driving power. Higher tracking stability and safe driving characteristics at all times and in all weather conditions are the result.
Under normal conditions, the BMW xDrive specially tuned to the BMW X6 M distributes the drive power to the front and rear axles in a 40:60 ratio. This conscious focus in design on the rear of the vehicle means that the torque is directed considerably later and more deliberately to the front axle. The result is that the BMW X6 M remains agile and nimble in maintaining close contact with the road – without in any way diminishing that special sensation of the rear-wheel drive.
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC).
The BMW X6 features Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) for even safer driving enjoyment. If there is a risk of the wheels skidding, the brakes are applied selectively to each individual wheel, whatever the surface or weather. This enables DSC to stabilize the vehicle in milliseconds and ensures optimum tracking. The latest-generation DSC also contains extended functions in addition to the integrated ABS and Dynamic Brake Control (DBC) systems.
Also like most BMWs, the list of options and equipment are abundant: standard 10-way power-adjustable driver’s and front passenger’s seats, wood trim, a wide range of interior colors and materials choices, a 10-speaker sound system, iPod/USB connectivity, and all the power accessories and adaptive/automatic features you’d expect in a modern luxury crossover.
