Looks nice! Any mention of whether or not these cars (specifically the 35i) will have the overboost function? If not I suppose that part of the software is is-exclusive.

why? for what reason?
they cant give E90s and 92s with Xdrive performance suspension, but they can create a whole separate line up for the X6? total bullshit. i cant be the only one pissed about this, right?

Very good looking X6 I'm curious about a pic with the rims... and of course, with the front of the car...
These performance parts are developed by bmw to create a much sportier looking/ performing car due to the new cayenne release |

More is better!
Much more is therefore much better !
Gear up for more options ! I used to be one of the few in '08/'09, but now I'm seeing more x6's out there everyday. BMW is probably (like Porsche w/ the Cayenne), rolling in dough from one of their more profitable vehicles. |

The suspension on xdrive cars is set up different, even in different materials. As you might have realized, they do not offer a sport suspension upgrade for the X6 either, so what is your complaint?

WOW! That looks great! The exterior pieces look really good together ... I'd have to see it in person but from the pic I think you have to buy the whole Aerodynamic Kit for a complete finished look ... just the trunk spoiler or just the side sills by themselves might look silly. And like others mentioned, I am sure these parts are going to cost serious $$$$$. But I am glad BMW is offering thing like this for the X6 ... pretty cool!

since there isnt an available sport suspension, a performance suspension would be flying off the shelves. my complaint is, as it usually is from others, they simply do not know their audience.

Finally...great news. We just need more pics from the front. I think it's a smart move from BMW to offer these perfromance equipement because there's a demand for aftermarket tunes, plus it's a good opportunity to make money after sale. I agree it can be expensive, but just like any other accessories, it give people more choices to customize their cars and tune them without having to void any warranties.
