X6 dimensions

I finally found enough information to list a few critical dimensions of the new X6. Please remember, these are gleamed from magazine articles and a few press releases from BMW, so nothing is for certain. If you go to the last page of this .pdf from BMW, you can see a nice dimensional layout of the X6:http://www.v5-oe.com/download/BMW_Concept_X6_GB.pdf

Dimensions (X5 first, then X6):

Wheel Base: 115.5 - 115.5 - same
Overall length: 191.1 - 192 - X6 very slightly longer
Width: 76.1 - 78.1 - X6 2 inches wider
Height: 69.5 - 66.9 - X6 3 in shorter
WEIGHT 5335 - 4600 - X6 around 730 pounds lighter!

If you prefer metric:

Wheel Base: 2934 - 2933 - same
Overall length: 4854 - 4877 - X6 very slightly longer
Width: 1933 - 1983 - X6 50mm wider
Height: 1765 - 1696 - X6 69mm shorter
WEIGHT 2420 - 2090 - X6 around 330 Kg lighter!

Again, these are magazine reporter numbers, but they do give us some idea of the actual size...

I can't wait to get some interior dimensions. According to the MotorTrend article, the car is quite roomy. They even say the rear seat accommodations are nice - we'll see.

We should be getting a lot of new data once the car is officially debuted at the NAIAS (Detroit Auto Show) next month!... I can't wait!!!!

Cheers,

People like me who needs a good ground clearance with good 4x4 properties; and can sacrifice practicality for style.

or simply, younger people who want a SUV

HOT DAMN 730 pounds lighter, that is really impressive, should feel the difference with the speed in X5 and X6 with the 2 engines.
