X6 Official: BMW X6

[Levi68]

"Looks like a sportsmachine, sounds like a sportsmachine."


WTF are you talking about? All BMW officials must be under serious drugs. Sure you never tried an Audi R8, a 911, an SLS or a Ferrari to know what a sportsmachine is really like. Even a Miata is more of a sportsmachine than any car of your line-up. Diesel M? HTF can Porsche and Mercedes yet build NA gazoline engines (911 and SLK AMG)?

The idea of a tri-turbo X6 is very appealing.

Sticking an M badge on it and trying to claim it's a "sports machine" is completely ridiculous and an insult to the intelligence of anybody remotely interested in cars.

C'mon guys ... Be happy M-diesel is finally coming (initially) in the form of M50d.

It's much much less M-brand-whoring than any M-Sport-package ... Eg. on 116i.
With all the undeserved M-badges included - at least on wheels, steering wheel, door sills, gear stick etc
And then imagine M-badges (of M-Sports-Package) on FWD 1er & sub-1er models. Ouch!

M50d is a monster. In any car. Much more of an M car than any other car with M-Sports-package - incl. 50i

Yeah right, including the new N63 TÜ? No, that's 445 hp......Valvetronic, much higher revving...

Even a Miata is more of a sportsmachine than any car of your line-up.

Who was on drugs again?

Sorry if I did not express myself well. A possible Z2, that would rival an MX-5 is more of a sportsmachine than ANY X6 however powerful it is.

In the 5er it is a hell of a car. If this is successful and I have no doubts. Then you will see Rival Powered Diesels from the competition.

I have no doubt we'll see an M340xd and an M125xd. I would have nothing against this...

M = NA + RWD
Md = FI + AWD

...but it won't ever happen.

Exclusive First and Only Known Pic's-X6 M 50d

It took a circuitous route to get posted....but here are the only known shots of the new X6 M 50d. The Power Dome Hood is starting to grow on me as a branding element for something other than the M3. LeMans X5 the mod over at Xoutpost.com did a frame by frame breakdown of the two BMW teaser vids.I've attached a couple of his stills. The wheels in the still match up very close to the wheels on the X6 I shot. One still appears to have missed the blurring of the Power Dome altogether. After reviewing the stills at Xoutpost...no doubt we got our man. Thanks. PalBay
