X6 2011 facelift

Soft · 03-14-2010, 06:36 AM

According to my dealer we will see a "smal facelift" on the 2011 models.
Does anyone know what they might be ?

Bigger pipes on the diesel was one, and interior wodden trim with some sort of metalic frame on the doors ?

it will be a technical update for the diesel engines for sure: 3l with 245hp (30d version) and 3l with 306hp (40d version)... i don t know much more...

Here in Norway we get the 30d with 211hp also,
and for that we pay 11.000.- Eur less...

Actually it would be nice to see some of the ambient light they have in the new 5 series in hte 2011 X6..

Sounds like a performance upgrade rather than a face lift.

I wish the 2011 X6 had the same instrument panel as the 7 series...not sure what it's called. All I know is that it's all black then lights up all ballin when the car starts.

yes thats very nice indeed. Not sure if the new 5 and the GT have thats also?

Its the instrument panel, and Mercedes had this first. Its actually some kind of digital display rather than meters.

They should upgrade the lights.

When BMW releases a model, they don't include things like LED turn signals or brake lights.

I am not sure if it cost cutting or just leaving options open for the LCI.

I think that's weird as well ... my E46 M3 has LED tails ...

How do the tail lights in the X6 work? How do they makes those lines?

X6 has the LED light roads (those lines as you call it) for tail lamps.

Thanks! That's what I thought. ... So I guess it's missing the newer style LED tails and LED turn signals.

I have not seen any picture yet on the facelift. If I find something I will post it on.

I pretty sure that the facelift (LCI) is for MY 2012 ... so we shouldn't see/hear anything until next year ...
