The many BMW X6 owners here in Malaysia have something new to look forward to this year – new aesthetics and performance accessories from BMW Performance available for retrofit on their cars.
The aesthetics upgrade called the BMW Performance Aerodynamics Kit features a new front bumper, side sill, and an insert for the rear bumper. Optional are a rear spoiler, rear fins finished in matte black and a front grid finished in high-gloss black. The side view is enhanced by huge 21 inch BMW Performance light-alloy wheels with a Y-spoke design done in a twin-tone finish – a glossy outside surface and Ferric Grey paintwork between the rims.
BMW claims each wheel is about 1.5kg lighter than a conventional wheel of the same size thanks to special production methods. The wheels exact size s are 10Jx21 at the front with 285/35R21 tyros and 11.5Jx21 at the rear with 325/30R21 tyres. That’s bloody wide – its front wheels are wider than my 5-er’s 265 rear wheels! Finally, you can equip a sports exhaust system which features chrome-plated tailpipes which are lighter, reduce exhaust backpressure and offer a sportier sound.
The Performance Power Kit is available for the two petrol-powered versions of the X6. The xDrive35i engine’s output is increased from 306hp/400Nm up to 326hp/450Nm, which is equivalent to the Power Kit upgrade that we’ve seen on other models that are equipped with the N54 twin turbo engine. The xDrive50i model gets its 4.4 liter V8′s twin turbo engine boosted up by 41hp and 50Nm so post-upgrade it makes 448hp and 650Nm of torque. These power increases boost 0 to 100km/h acceleration time for both models by approximately 0.2 seconds.

Jeremy Clarkson from TopGear takes on the BMW X6 xDrive35d and tested this car’s ride and the video can be seen at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpkHzb3KmeA
After viewing the video, the X6 doesn’t seem to do well off road and going uphill off road.
In the video, Jeremy Clarkson seems to conclude that the rear view at the back is poor, idrive system is not user friendly, the gear shift is not easy to use. He even took it to the country side to test. There is no low range gear box, no locking differential the ride is very poor on road because it is high. Check the video at 4:18. The x6 can’t even go up on country side. The x6 can’t even handle moving on snow in the video at 5:05.
Jeremy Clarkson went to several countries to test it.
Overall, I feel it is horrible after looking at the video.
SHUT UP Jeff.
You are just an anti-BMW person. What do you mean by saying that a BMW can not handle well on the road. Don’t post shit from your ass here. Do it in toilet and flush it. Keep it yours. BMW handle much greater than any other sport cars, even the SUVs. Go get a GEN2 hahaha. Biaaaaatch
