Question for X6M owners ! X6M conversion.

[ronald_adi]

Hi! When I receive my new X40d, I will be converting it to look like your beautiful X6M beast, - but without markings. Reason being I simply like the look of it.

The conversion is not very difficult at all, but here is my problem. I checked on the BMW website and see that the X6M does NOT have Active cruise with STOP and GO function. Is that true? And if so, I am worried that I shall not be able to transfer this functionality to the new X6M bumper because the bumper does not have the space for this.

Would you have any ideas on this?

...but I have this info for you. It looks like the X6 M bumper will NOT have the space you require. Sorry dude.

While I admire what you wish to do, I'd advise you not too. For the same money, I'd get a nice set of wheels, an exhaust, and a body kit from AC, Hartge, or Hamann. This way your BMW will be very unique, and not just another X6 trying to look like an M. Just my 2 cents.

I checked where the radar is placed on the X6 and It appears that it can easily be moved onto the X6M. i think that the reason this function is not available on the X6M may be more due to the type of high performance engine, or the gearbox type.

In anycase, i dont give up that easily

Its a good point you make. I dont like the hartge or AC kit at all. And while i like to look at the Hamann wide body kit, it is not something i could drive to work with! Thus i need something that looks more agressive that the normal X6, but yet not looking like its a 18yr old's car with flanks and going to fly.

i like the look of the X6M. I would remove all markings on the car.

i wouldnt get an X6M though because i drive up to 1500kms per week and at that fuel consumption, i would have to tank 4 times per week!!! And i hate that!
