If you can, please advise.
I'm deciding between getting a 2011, X6 50i or waiting for the 2012, I'm in the US. While searching the web for information on the 2012 there seems to be rumors that I can't separate from facts. Here is what I've been able to piece together.
2012 X6 will have: New headlights with LED. Updated iPod functions. The wider Nav screen found in other new models. A facelift of the exterior. 3 person bench seating in the second row. Can anyone comment on which of these are fact versus rumor? I've searched for photos of the "supposed" new exterior, with no luck. I appreciate any information you can share with me. Ken |

Rumors:
New headlights with LED New taillights with LED "tubes" (like other new models) Facelift of the exterior, but likely the lights and perhaps a small bumper modification will be it. Fact: 3 person bench Increased iPod functions (BMW Apps) Both of the "Facts" are coming from April 2011 production. Not sure if those cars are called 2012 or still 2011. And I haven't heard of any changes to the nav screen size, not in rumors, and definitely not as a fact. |

I have been pouring all over the internet looking for any solid revelations regarding the 2012 X6 scheduled for April 2011 production. Where did you find your information?

I had similar issues and found that the changes you are mentioning are scheduled for Oct 2012, which could be a 2013 model in the US, I guess... (apart from the ipod and 5 seat option). I made my dealer write me there will be no facelift in Oct 2011 (a facelift in 2013 should include all the above things you wrote, but you will not find anything apart from speculation and logical guesses). To add to your "wish list", there will be prob a new HUD unit, as it is quite old compared to the rest of the BMW fleet (also not in April production).

I have not heard anything about the LED headlight and LED tube tailights, but I think it is very likely that it will be in the next (2012?) X6.
I can see that the older style is being slowly changed out in the other models: X3, X5, 5 series, 3 series....so I think X6 must be next in the list... I wish they don't make it too hard for us to retrofit |
