    Those rims look that way for aerodynamics purposes.

    Who wants to buy my Harrier?

    But @Shan is right… 4.4 is overkill. 3.5 would be adequate.
    Just another way for the Bavarian to slap a high price on this
    monster.

    That’s the way hybrids should be! More power, more efficiency! Not downsizing the engine and add an electric engine, and have some nice numbers to brag about…

    Paul, whats the weight of this thing? The electric motors and accompanying bits surely will add significant and compromise handling but the acceleration must be phenomenal. So will the improved fuel consumption. Are the motors at the wheels or between the gearbox and engine?

    Awesome! This is more like my dream car.

    This 6 series is making me feel uncomfortable…
    I feel like its challenging car makers and owners knowledge on cars.
    Is it powerful, is it great , i dunno, all i know is like im staring at a car with a washing machine motor.

    Pretty soon we all soon need an electrician than a real mechanic.

    hahah @ stephenstreets…

    worst case senario would be…

    “Ok honey, we’ve done here @ mechanic workshop… now we’re heading to electric workshop!” :D

    owh by the way, it’s a X series… not 6 series. 6 series is a coupe.

    4.8 Twin Turbo hybrid, what’s the friggin point.
