This must be really big for
your eyes to take it, the BMW X6 with an “M” badge on it. Since the “M” comes
with uncompromising power of a beast. The
X6 M is a high-performance vehicle from BMW unveiled at the 2009 New York Auto
Show.
‘The Beast’ is what I would
like to call it, pumps out 555 horsepower at 5,750 rpm and can accelerate from
zero to 100kmp/h mph in just 5 seconds, isn’t that thrilling.
The BMW X6 M is the first
xDrive all-wheel-drive vehicle from the M GmbH and uses a potent version of
BMW's twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8. Coupled with special suspension
specifically optimized for M that features Adaptive Drive and the newly
developed M Servotronic power steering, the performance Sport Activity Vehicle
promises very competent handling. Other high-tech features include launch
control for maximum acceleration and a six speed M Sport automatic transmission
optimized for performance. Drivers can manually select gears using either
paddles or an electronic gear selector lever.
Electronically controlled,
variable power distribution to the front and rear axle prevents even the slightest
tendency to over- or understeer right from the start, before DSC Dynamic
Stability Control is even required to cut in.
BMW is referring to the new
4.4-liter motor as its “M TwinPower Turbo” unit. The name reflects the fact
that the motor features Twin Scroll Twin Turbo Technology and a common exhaust
manifold encompassing both rows of cylinders.
Although traction control is
standard, the M Dynamic Mode (MDM) greatly optimises the aggressiveness of the
system. The MDM setting allows the driver to enter a controlled drift and push
the vehicle’s handling to the limit. There is also a DSC-Off Mode for those who
seek sheer driving pleasure.
Exterior of the X6 M: The M’s characteristics
hallmark pure dynamics and powerful lines. The roofline resembles coupe-like
body structure in the rear meeting the flared shoulder area. To bring in sporty
character, the X6 combines Classic motorsport features such as the
aerodynamically optimised air ducts in the Air dam trim and the wheel arch air
vents, also M twin tailpipes are an expression of top performance.
Interior of the X6 M: Open the
door and the M logo on the entry sills gives an indication of the beasts that
awaits your command. As soon as you take control of the M steering wheel you
realise that the BMW X6 M is more than a Sports Activity Coupé. This is a
vehicle that sets new class benchmarks in terms of dynamics, agility and
emotion. The X6 M, impress with its stylish elegance and athletic ergonomics
while the Merino leather M seats provide made-to-measure driving comfort and
exceptional body support.
The BMW X6 M competes with Porsche’s
Cayenne Turbo and Turbo S.
