X6 Official: BMW X6 Facelift

[Zafiro]

The BMW X6 is the world's first ever Sports Activity Coupé, still a unique combination of sporty dynamics and supreme versatility and with further enhanced appeal from spring 2012. Selective modifications in design and innovative equipment features hone the profile of the new BMW X6 as a distinctive model within the premium segment of all-wheel-drive automobiles.

Its exceptional standing and ongoing popularity is due to both its highly expressive design, combing the athletic and elegant lines of a coupé with the supremacy of a BMW X model, and the fascinating driving experience provided by powerful petrol and diesel engines fitted with BMW TwinPower Turbo Technology and the intelligent all-wheel-drive system xDrive, including Dynamic Performance Control.

Since its market launch, more than 150,000 of the Sporty Activity Coupé were sold within approximately three years. This far exceeded the original plans. And the continuing high level of demand for the BMW X6 on the worldwide automobile markets is impressive confirmation of the unusual vehicle concept of the Sports Activity Coupé.

Striking accentuations at the front and rear, adaptive LED headlamps as a new option.
Precisely modified details in the front view give the new BMW X6 an appearance characterised by exclusive athleticism and supremacy. The standard fog lights are now set in matt finish surrounds in the upper area of the outer air inlets. Their higher and more lateral position emphasises the width of the vehicle. The striking three-dimensional modelling of the frame and newly designed bars, angled in the lower section, make the BMW kidney grille stand out especially conspicuously within the vehicle front section. The angle of the grille bars is flush with the bottom of the headlamp units, thereby creating an additional horizontal line which likewise highlights the wide track and stable road-holding of the new BMW X6.

As an alternative to the standard bi-xenon light, the new BMW X6 is the first vehicle in its segment to be fitted optionally with adaptive LED headlamps. Their bright white light ensures optimum visibility, while their high-quality appearance represents a new interpretation of the brand's hallmark twin circular headlamps. The three-dimensionally shaped luminous rings of the adaptive LED headlamps are strikingly levelled off both at the top and bottom and are overlaid at the upper edge by an LED-fed accent light. The light sources for low and high beam light are LED units positioned on a horizontal bar at its centre, feeding their light into the reflectors in front. In the new BMW X6 M, adaptive LED headlights are fitted as standard.

With its newly designed rear lights with LED technology, the powerfully shaped rear section of the new BMW X6 also features more intense styling. The rear lights are now two LED-fed light banks which create the brand's hallmark night design as a harmoniously glowing light mass. The fact that they are horizontally aligned and stretch far out to the sides emphasises both the width of the vehicle and the flowing transition between the side section and rear.

I like the rear LEDs but the front isn`t too beautiful. I think I liked it much before this facelift.

 

[Tarek]

Damn that front bumper on the brown car is a disaster.

 

[LaArtist]

Bumper is a FAIL..

Headlights and rear lights are nice..

Subtle changes it seems..

 

[donkeykong]

Looks alright in this pic.

 

[rollo]

When will this brown trend end.............................?

 

[klier]

Quite like that new front bumper. Much better than the old one at least!

And those LED headlights are great! Will look stunning on the X5/X6 M (on which they will be standard, no less!!!).

Overall, nice facelift. Subtle but good enough I guess.

Dear lord, that front bumper is horrible. And the foglights in the brown one... So in a few months I saw the ugliest rear bumper ever in the Dodge Charger and now the ugliest front bumper, on the X6

The lights are beautiful however, and I can't thing of a better LED integration than the "angel eyes" on Bimmers.

Mercedes, plz take note, this is how you design a good looking headlight and not the abomination you gave us in the SL's form:

Just a question.If the new X6 LCI 50i is the car w/ the round fog lamps w/ matte surrounds in the front air intakes and the rectangular exhaust finishers ( TTV8).....and the X6 M 50d is the car w/ the Power Dome Hood and the two front air intakes w/ the horizontal bars.Then what is this X6 ( large front air intakes w/ horizontal bars,no Power Dome hood and rectangular exhaust finishers....... but not revealed today. Just wondering....... Thanks. PalBay

Can't tell what's been changed, but this car is just something that I find antithesis to attractive.

 

[Cashmere]

meh

 

[deity]

Don't like it. Bumper treatment is ghastly and the headlights look like they're looking upwards. I prefer the old one.

 

[EMpower]

Does this mean the hood(engine compartment lid)?
An optional feature for the BMW X6 is an engine compartment lid with strikingly shaped powerdome which additionally highlights the powerful appearance of the Sports Activity Coupé

The powerdome is an option for any X6.

 

[Monster]

Do the LED headlights include LED indicators, because it doesn't look like they are from the photos.

I hope that is not true because it will be so so vain.

Those foglight housing inserts in the front bumper vents are fugly. Spoils the shape of the vents completely. Looks like an afterthought.

They also look dated, when even non-luxury cars are getting LED lights.
