X5 M / X6 M [Official] BMW X6 M Thread


The X5 M is the high-performance variant of the X5. In April 2009, the X6 M version was announced, with a 408 kW (547 hp) version of the BMW S63 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 engine. The BMW X5 M and X6 M are the first vehicles from BMW M GmbH to have xDrive all-wheel-drive system and automatic transmissions, and are also crossovers as opposed to passenger cars.
BMW is cost cutting on pics. The new M performance diesel range pics are all done in studio. Only a dozen or so pics for X6 LCI.
 
2013 BMW X6 M reveals its very discreet enhancements

Most obvious is the new 'power bulge' hood, borrowed from the now-defunct BMW X6 Active Hybrid. Less visible are the cosmetic changes to the BMW-signature kidney grill and the new optional LED headlights (active HID bulbs remain standard). Peer inside the 20-inch wheels to spot the painted calipers, now in a distinguished "M" blue (vehicles with optional carbon/ceramic brakes have gold calipers). Lastly, inside the cabin, BMW's active sport seats are now standard.

Unchanged – and rightly so – is the gobsmacking twin-turbocharged 4.4-litre V8 boasting 555 hp and 501 pound-feet of torque. Mated to a six-speed paddleshift automatic and permanent all-wheel drive, the hunchbacked hero will easily crack nearly 100 km/h in under than five seconds

Subtle, yet good changes. This is honestly a machine that delivers a smile of deep and inner drivers satisfaction whilst the engine is a masterpiece of engineering excellence.

On the other hand...guess I am in for a steep depreciation on my car now:D
 
Those strips lift this car to another level visually for me. If I were ever in the market for an X6M then this is how I'd want it....pure class. :usa7uh:

people are weird. So the sticker guy won you over the guy who actually designed it ? :D

I am sure it is faster now too.
 
I actually like the design though I do think the strips compliment the overall design very well and enhance its sporty image.
 
Actually for someone like me who finds the X6 to be an eye sore, the stickers make it a much more interesting and fun-to-look at scene. :D

I'm usually not into stickers plastered over cars as it kills the clean look, but I gotta say I'm digging this M-stripe's thing. Something just OG BMW about it.
 
An X6 M with the LED headlights from the front just makes you want to gawk at it. From the rear, it's a bit of a different story. The car drives nicely on the road, though.
 
Edit

@Betty Swollocks, thank you for always being so warm and friendly with me, it speaks highly of you.
I guess you've never made an honest mistake.

Making a mistake is fine. We've all done it. What really annoys me though is when I log on and hit "new posts", to find you've added a single video to about thirty threads, which means I have to spend lots of my time clicking on every thread. If people wanted all these videos they would go on YouTube.
 

BMW M

BMW M GmbH, formerly known as BMW Motorsport GmbH, is a subsidiary of BMW AG that manufactures high-performance luxury cars. BMW M ("M" for "motorsport") was initially created to facilitate BMW's racing program, which was very successful in the 1960s and 1970s. As time passed, BMW M began to supplement BMW's vehicle portfolio with specially modified higher trim models, for which they are now most known by the general public. These M-badged cars traditionally include modified engines, transmissions, suspensions, interior trims, aerodynamics, and exterior modifications to set them apart from their counterparts. All M models are tested and tuned at BMW's private facility at the Nürburgring racing circuit in Germany.
