X6 with new 306HP 600NM Diesel !!
Hi Guys,
I am ready to buy a brand new X6. And since i am in europe its going to be a diesel. Now i currently own a 535d with the 286HP engine. And i would be very very dissappointed if I bought the X6 and then few months after, they released it with the new and improved 306HP \ 600NM Diesel engine!! Does anyone have any idea when this engine will be released for the X6? It is already available for the 7 series as a 740d. i would really really love to hear your responses. Should I wait? Does anyone have any inside info on the release of this engine into the X6? |

Few months ago here was a rumor that new engine will be only with 5% more power and that will be 299hp! so 286 or 299 or 306 am not sure will you feel any difference at all.

Thus based on this, believe me, you will notice the difference!! The next important thing is that if you are interested in tuning, this offers a good basis to tune it to close to 400HP |

seems inevitable given the popularity of the 35d in the x6 that they'll drop the 40d into it around the mid-point of it's model life. I wouldn't be surprised if they don't have it in the range by the end of next year.
as for whether the wait is worth it - that's a personal call. you could get the 35d now and tune it eg 350bhp from evolve: http://www.evo-s.co.uk/shop/index.ph...3055_3056_3802 |

I don't think the big difference will be the 13hp or 20hp. The big difference will be that it will be the new generation common rail diesel technology which most importantly reduces the vibration you feel inside. Take the 330d with 245hp as an example, only 14hp more than the predecessor but nearly as quiet as a petrol engine!!!

I do own a 2009 X6 30d and have installed the chip since day 1, my engine is developing almost 300Hp and 600Nm, now imagen a 35d........so if you are looking for extra power, for less than 300 Euro you can get it, it is a matter of pure electronic engine re-programming. BMW does not deliver the 35d engine for Costa Rica since our Diesel quality is very poor and the microparticulate filter will not let the engine run. This people makes my engine go to 306 Hp http://www.race-chip.com/ This are other people who makes great chips too, a little more expensive www.tunit.co.uk Hope this info you be of your interest |

it's a fallacy to assume that bmw must have the "best" tune just because they're bmw. |

Since it is a new generation engine, it will also fetch more money when I want to re-sell it later on. I am thinking that BMW is just trying to finish all the old stock of 286hp engines and once that is finished they will begin putting the new engine into the X6. what do u think? |

I'm new to BMW diesel engines, but I know the 30d engine of my X6 is not new, has been used for a while on the X5, so I think same as you, they will get rid of the old engines and they must be working on the new one's + 1

I found this online:
http://www.autoblog.com/2009/07/09/s...include-power/ "So it may come as a little surprise that BMW is reportedly preparing to launch an M Sport package for the X6 that also includes some power upgrades. According to reports, the oil-burning X6 xDrive35d with the M Sport package will get a boost of 20 horsepower to 306 courtesy of the recently launched 740d's powerplant, while the twin-turbo xDrive50i will increase output by 42 horsepower over stock. Of course, there will also be a special body kit and bigger 20-inch wheels along with the requisite badging of the X6 M Sport package, all of which gives those who want a little extra sport in their ute but aren't interested in the full-on X6 M a solid choice in between. Expect the package to hit the market later this year. " That means its still planned for this year. And not just the engine upgrade, but also a new M-sport Package. Very nice! Now I want an exact date! |

I am going crazy! Why is BMW still producing and releasing the X6 35d with the old 286hp engine when a new 306hp engine exists in the 7 series ?? The X6 is also a high end car, they should have released it by now! Or are they waiting till the new 5 series is released?
ridiculous. |

> i don t think they will introduce the new engine on X6 soon... we have the X5 example with the v8 petrol engine: they still use the old engine 'till the facelifted model will be launched.. after that i think they will replace it with the new 4.4 biturbo...
> it s possible that the new 3l diesel engine to be available first on the new 5 series and after that on a future X6 facelifted version... i don t know if it will be available for new 5 GT... |
