BMW once again breaks the mold and challenges the current
conventions of car-making with its revolutionary all-new 2009 BMW
X6. As impossible as it sounds, BMW has managed to perfectly
blend the size and utility of a SUV into the 2009 BMW X6, while
somehow managing to keep it handling remarkably like a coupe.
A choice between two turbo-charged engines is surely one of
the main sources of the nimbleness of the new BMW 2009 X6, with
the base models outfitted with the same twin-turbo 3.0 liter
inline-6 as the 3 and 5 series sedans, delivering 300 hp and 300
pound-feet of torque. The higher trim model receives the new
twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8, delivering 400 hp and 450
pound-feet of torque. Both engines use direct injection to ensure
maximum, efficient production of power.
Additionally, BMW will be using the X6 platform to debut their
new chassis control system, Dynamic Performance Control.
Collaborating with the xDrive all-wheel drive (which is standard
on both trim models of the X6), the Dynamic Performance Control
system provides ultimate control by varying the distribution of
power between the wheels and ensuring stability regardless of
speed. In addition to distributing the power between the wheels,
the Dynamic Performance Control also adjusts the level of torque
delivered between the front and rear wheels, allowing more stable
steering when cornering.
The concept of the all-new BMW 2009 X6 isn't entirely
focused on offering under-the-hood driving pleasure. It is
beautiful as well. With the sleek lines and sloping roof of its
design, it has a noticeably stylish shape, and will be a real
head-turner wherever it might journey.
All BMW 2009 X6 models are being built in Spartanburg, SC and
have an American debut at Vista BMW dealership in the 2nd quarter
of 2008. Reserve yours today!
