Bmw x6 is a mid-size luxury crossover released for sale in the second quarter of 2008 by German automaker BMW. The X6 was marketed as a Sports
Based very closely on the popular X6 Concept, BMW first launched the X6 coupe-crossover for the 2009 model year, calling it a "Sport Activity Coupe." Along with the wild exterior comes an all-new twin-turbo V8 that will find its way into other new BMWs in the coming years.
BMW is the first automaker to bring such an SUV to market, although other automakers are said to be planning similar coupe-like utility vehicles. Land Rover, for example, recently unveiled its LRX coupe-crossover concept.
Compared with the concept, very little has changed. In fact, you'll have a hard time noticing any differences at all. The only obvious design tweak was made to the crossover's side windows. On the concept, the B- and C-pillars are not visible, but on the production car they clearly divide up the glass.
Even the X6's complex front fender design made it to production. Each front quarter panel surrounds the entire headlamp, creating a very seamless appearance. The X6's aggressive front fascia is also carried over from the concept, with its large air intakes and stylish fog lamps.
Daring design
As the photos show, the X6 is anything but a conservative design.
The X6's roofline begins arching downward after the B-pillar and continues plunging right to the X6's rising waistline. As a result, second-row headroom and rear cargo volume are both compromised.
The new X6 is longer and lower than the new X5, seating only four. But what the sporty X6 loses in seating and storage, it gains in performance.
Compared to the X5, the X6 has almost an inch of additional wheelbase length, and two inches of added width. The overall height of the X6 is a whopping 3.3 inches lower than that of the X5.
All-new twin-turbocharged V8
The range-topping X6 xDrive50i is propelled by an all-new twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 unit producing 400 horsepower at 5500 rpm and 446 pound-feet of torque between 1750 rpm and 4500 rpm. The sprint to 62 mph takes just 5.4 seconds and fuel economy is estimated at around 19 mpg (U.S. gallons).
The engine is designed as a replacement to the company's current 4.8-liter naturally-aspirated V8. It is expected to filter into other models like the 5-Series, 6-Series and 7-Series in the near future.
The engine seems to represent the second stage in a shift at BMW from high-displacement naturally-aspirated motors to slightly smaller turbocharged powerplants. BMW's twin-turbo 3.0-liter engine that powers the 335i and 135i has been met with overwhelmingly positive reviews, and it appears BMW is hoping for similar results with its new V8.
The X6's other engine is also a twin-turbo setup. The xDrive35i comes with the aforementioned 3.0-liter inline-six from the 335i, producing 300 horsepower.
One of the variant of BMW X6 comes loaded with 4395cc, 8-cylinder V petrol engine with four-valve technology. The powertrain of the car efficiently produces a peak power of 400 hp at 5500 to 6400 rpm and churns a peak toque figures of 600 Nm at 1750-4500 rpm. The top speed of the car is 250 (electronically limited) km/h and it shows its worth when reaches 0-100 km/h sprint in just 5.4 seconds. While BMW X6 is powered by a 2993cc, 6 cylinder V diesel engine with four-valve technology. It's smart mill generates a maximum power of 235 hp-more than double of xDrive50i- at 4,000 rpm and belts out 520 Nm of top torque at 2000 to 2750 rpm. This innovation of BMW has a peak speed of 220 km/h and touches the 0-100 km/h sprint in mere 8.0 seconds.
Whereas the top end variant of BMW X6, is equipped with a 4.4 litre TwinPower Turbo engine with peak power of 408 Kw at 6,000 rpm and a maximum torque of 680 Nm at 1,500 to 5,650 rpm. This is in fact the faster and better in terms of acceleration as it achieves the 0-60 km/h sprint in only 4.7 seconds. The vehicles in christened as BMW X6 M which is the first all-wheel drive product in xDrive family having the 'M' label.
BMW X6 xDrive50i and BMW X6 xDrive30d are blessed with cupholders at front and rear, start/stop buttons, tailgate, one piece with stopover function. As far as entertainment, communication and information systems are concerned, the vehicles are equipped with Radio BMW Professional, incl. MP3-compatible CD drive, control display, controller, functional bookmarks and AUX-IN connection in centre console. In BMW X6 M, there is optional features like rear DVD system and adaptive headlights. For driver assistance, rear park distance control and cruise control with brake function is provided. All the three variants feature 8 airbags each like drive and passenger front airbags, head airbags for all passengers (total 4) and side airbags for driver and passenger
BMW X6 xDrive50i has a bigger engine that is a 4395cc, 8-cylinder V petrol engine with four-valve technology. The bigger cc petrol engine pumps out awesome power of 400 bhp at 5,500 to 6,400 rpm and generates a maximum torque of 600 Nm at 1,750-4,500 rpm that is also amazing. With the help of master technology and powertrain the machine gives 6 to 7 kmpl of standard mileage.
On the other hand, the diesel version of BMW X6 is fitted with a 2993cc, 6 cylinder V engine with four-valve technology . This unique engine of the company manages to produce a peak power of 235 hp at 4,000 rpm and churns 520 Nm of peak torque figures at 2,000 to 2,750 rpm. Both the power and torque figures of the vehicles are less than its petrol operated vehicle. According to the company, it gives 10 kmpl of fuel economy.
Now coming on the latest vehicle in the X6 series, BMW X6 M, which is loaded with 4.4 litre TwinPower Turbo engine. The powertrain of the car pumps out 408 kw of maximum power at 6,000 rpm and a top torque of 680 Nm at 1,500 to 5,650 rpm. The new member in X6 series can give a mileage of around 6 to 7 kmpl.
Before mentioning the acceleration and pick-up details, please go through the engine specifications and power-torque figures produced by the machine so that formers can be justified. Now take the base petrol variant of BMW X6 for instance. The vehicle is loaded with a 4395cc, 8-cylinder V engine with four-valve technology that manage to belts out 400 bhp of stunning power at 5,500 to 6,400 rpm and pumps out a peak torque of 600 Nm at 1,750-4,500 rpm. With combine help of powerful engine and six-speed transmission, the vehicle can achieve 0-100 kmph in just 5.4 seconds. And you can also cruise it with a top speed of 250 kmph.
Another D plus segment diesel car from BMW X6 series is xDrive30d and it does possesses a well tuned 2993cc, 6 cylinder V engine with four-valve technology. The peak power and torque figures are: 235 hp and 520 Nm, respectively. You can drive your own BMW car at a peak speed of 220 kmph. This high speed vehicle can touch 0-100 kmph sprint in mere 8.4 seconds. Thanks to the cutting edge technology incorporated in the machine which is operated by diesel.
The new member of BMW X6 family, X6 M, comes loaded with the same engine which powers X6 xDrive50i. This is 4.4 litre TwinPower Turbo engine but produces more power and torque on the same mill. The power mill of the car belts out a maximum power of 408 kw at 6,000 rpm and pumps out a peak torque of 680 Nm at 1,500 to 5650 rpm. The top speed of the machine is 250 and it can touch 0-60 kmph sprint in only 4.7 seconds. Here, this vehicle scores over other X6 series members and deserves appreciation.
Using BMW’s “M TwinPower and patented exhaust manifold technologies to increase thrust and pulling force, while preserving the most compact dimensions possible. Two low-mass twin-scroll turbochargers are positioned together with the catalytic converters in the “V” section between the two banks of cylinders. By reversing the flow of gases through the engine from traditional arrangements, the intake and exhaust ducts are shortened and widened. The result is that pressure losses on the exhaust side are minimized.
The goals were to virtually eliminate turbocharger lag while maximizing combustion efficiency and power output. The new M V8 engine with twin-scroll twin turbo technology uses a single exhaust manifold with tuned-length runners, incorporating both cylinder banks and connecting cylinders in carefully selected pairs. This configuration, patented by BMW M and known as Cylinder-bank Comprehensive Manifold (CCM), offers quick response, a linear build-up of engine power, and a broad, consistent torque curve by feeding each of the twin turbochargers with a “charge pulse” at approximately every 90 degrees of crankshaft rotation, rather than the more traditional “irregular schedule” of charging.
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.
In late 2009, BMW introduced an X6 featuring a version of the Global Hybrid Cooperation hybrid power train, popularly known as the two-mode hybrid system.[13] This car was confirmed as being called the BMW ActiveHybrid X6, and it is the world's most powerful hybrid vehicle; it will not be sold in the UK.[14] The production vehicle was unveiled alongside a 7-series hybrid at the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show. The ActiveHybrid X6 went on sale in December 2009 in the US market with a base price of US$89,765.[15]
The drive system featured in the BMW ActiveHybrid X6 consists of a 300 kW (407 hp) V8 power unit with BMW TwinPower Turbo Technology and two electric engines developing 67 kW (91 hp) and, respectively, 63 kW (86 hp.) Maximum system output is 357 kW (485 hp), peak torque is 780 Newton-meters (575 lb-ft.)
BMW ActiveHybrid technology offers the driver three significant options: to drive under electric power alone, to use the power of the combustion engine, or to benefit from the combination of both drive modes for short periods of maximum acceleration, using the 485 maximum. Driving completely free of CO2 in the electric mode is possible up to a speed of 37 mph (60 km/h). The hybrid also employs stop-start technology and other energy saving measures to help improve efficiency. The core-vehicle is however very heavy and the petrol power unit limits the extent to which fuel consumption can be reduced in absolute terms. The Turbo-Diesel models in the X6 range use less fuel, for example.
The X6 marks BMW's first use of its new Dynamic Performance Control system, which works in unison with xDrive all-wheel drive (both are standard on the X6). DPC is a drivetrain and chassis control system that works to regulate traction and especially correct over- and understeer by actively spreading out drive forces across the rear axle. Torque is split not only between the front and rear wheels (xDrive) but also from side to side at the rear for improved agility and added stability (through the DPC rear axle). [16]
The DPC differential features clutch packs on both output sides that are actuated by an electric motor. The clutch pack activates a planetary gearset which causes one wheel to be overdriven. A conventional control system will use the brakes to reduce the speed of the faster moving wheel (which is the one with less traction)and reduce engine power. This leads to increased brake wear and slower than optimal progress. The DPC system speeds up the slower moving wheel (the one with the most traction) in order to maintain stability when needed. For example; while turning, the outer wheel is overdriven to provide greater acceleration using the traction advantage through the dynamic loading of the outboard wheel in cornering. In an oversteer situation, the inner wheel is overdriven to regain traction balance.
Initially, the BMW X6 was available in North America (Now released in the UK) in two variants. Both use twin-turbocharged engines. The top-of-the-line model is the xDrive50i which uses an all-new 4.4-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine. This all new version of the 550i/650i's engine (N62) is being used with twin turbo technology from the 135i/335i. It produces 408 PS (300 kW; 402 hp) between 5,500 and 6,400 rpm, and 600 N·m (440 lb·ft) of torque over a wide range of between 1,800 and 4,500 rpm. It is the first production turbocharged V8 engine in the world to feature its turbochargers between the 'V' section in the middle of the two banks of cylinders. The exhaust and intake manifolds are in the un-traditional position - exhausts top of the engine and engine intakes directed to the outer sides of the 'V'.
The other model is the X6 xDrive35i powered by the N54 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged inline-six gasoline engine, producing 306 PS (225 kW; 302 hp) between 5800 and 6250 rpm, and a peak torque of 400 N·m (300 lb·ft) between 1400 and 5000 rpm. This engine also sees duty in the 1, 3 and 5 Series BMW cars.[
The concept model debuted at the 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show and the production X6 officially debuted at the 2008 North American International Auto Show in Detroit and Montreal International Auto Show. While slightly longer and wider than the X5, it is significantly lower and seated initially only four, and since 2011, optionally five.[2]
It is built in BMW's North American plant in Greer, South Carolina alongside the BMW X5, whose platform it shares. It is dubbed a "Sports Activity Coupé (SAC)" by BMW. A hybrid version, the BMW Concept X6 ActiveHybrid, which will be the first such vehicle from BMW, was also announced.[2][3] Later, in April 2009, the sporty X6 M version was announced, with a 555 hp (414 kW) 4.4-liter turbocharged V8.[4]
