I already have it, but I'm overseas. The pricing is close to what I've paid. I think it's worth it...you definitly feel the extra power when you accelerate. It's not a big difference, but you do notice that the X6 feels faster and has more aggressive throttle response. I could've gone with aftermarket options that gives you more HP and torque, however, I took the safe route...I didn't want to risk voiding the warranty.

The fine print: The BMW Performance Power Kit for the X6 xDrive50i is only applicable to vehicles produced up to 04/10.

Don't buy this. Add Dinan's Power Kit. It just became available and adds 95hp and 123lbs of torque. I am going to have it installed on my in the next few weeks at my dealer.

but you could be right about the 8 spd having something to do with it. AFAIK, engines are the same. |

the power kit is only avail for vehicles built up to March 31. I am sure this has to do with the change over to the 8 speed. However he did say are working on a pwr kit for the 2011 MY. no eta

I got to thinking about this ( yes that hurt), I thought all performance upgrades (other than exhaust,wheels,etc) were software tunes. what "parts" are they going to replace /install ?

Have you recovered? Just remember you're not as young as you used to be.

Can someone please elaborate on why Dinan's Power Kit for close to $3000 or more is a better option that original BMW Performance Power Kit 11122183957 for around $1200? After all, in my opinion, original factory BMW is always better than aftermarket ...

The Dinan kit ups the boost and gets you 95 more HP on the 50i vs. BMW kit which gets you 40... The BMW kit is currently not available on 2011+ X5/X6 with 8speed transmissions.. THe DInan kit is avail. on any of the turbo 6/8 cylinder X5/X6... ie if you have a 2011 + vehicle aftermarket is your only option...
