BMW X6 In A New Avatar
BMW revealed the first official pictures of the updated X6 SAV (Sport-Activity Vehicle). At first, one might not notice the difference at all, but upon careful inspection one should notice a plethora of changes from the front to back.
BMW X6, the multi faceted SUV with the stance of a coupé will be available in a face lifted version in the global markets sometime in mid-2012. The makeover includes relocated foglights, which now sit high up in the outer air inlets. The grille is now louder with the addition of optional adaptive LED headlamps; these come as standard on the new performance-oriented BMW X6M as do the blue aluminium brake callipers. The bravado of this car is admirable and it has loads of personality.
The makeovers on the back side include a new horizontally mounted twin LED light banks that add weight age to the car’s width. The new paint finishes in the form of Marrakech Brown metallic, Orion Silver metallic and Midnight Blue metallic and new bi-color, along with double spoke 19-inch alloys for the BMW X6 xDrive 50i model complete the makeover job. On the inside, there are two new upholstery color choices of Ivory White Nappa Leather and Vermillion Red Nevada Leather.
The X6 is also equipped with an M-diesel engine. The desi audience gets the X6 xDrive50i with a 4.4-litre V8 petrol engine and an X6 xDrive30d. If rumors are to be believed, the new X5 and the X6 could also get an eight-speed gearbox. The X6’s suspension is tuned tightly to make it sporty, but some argue that it makes life difficult for the daily smooth terrainer. The new transmission is said to increase performance in both X6 models. The xDrive35i is claimed to be quicker by 0.2 second, whereas the twin-turbo V-8 xDrive50i is faster by 0.1 second off. It is expected to compete with its brother BMW X5 and its rival Audi Q7 in Indian market.
