It's about time!!

bdardashti · 02-18-2010, 09:01 PM

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.

eVitO · 02-18-2010, 09:07 PM

Holy ugly, Batman.

LemonOne · 02-18-2010, 09:12 PM

A friend of mine owns one.
Such a nice car/suv.

DK35 · 02-18-2010, 09:19 PM

curious what the steering wheel what will be like. maybe they will replace the crap paddles with the same as the m cars. maybe some carbon fiber inserts as well

WOW. Best looking X6 so far! Good #'s on the V8 too

JoeyBananaz18 · 02-18-2010, 10:12 PM

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?

HAZEx36 · 02-18-2010, 10:26 PM

that thing is sweeet!

no shots of the front?

turtle619 · 02-18-2010, 11:14 PM

Sounds awesome, but let's see some prices....

Zen · 02-19-2010, 01:12 AM

Start selling 1 of ur kidney and maybe 1/2 of your liver for these performance parts / upgrades. :P

vladberca · 02-19-2010, 02:33 AM

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

archwerks · 02-19-2010, 02:44 AM

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.

Deda · 02-19-2010, 03:31 AM

I need to see front bumper...

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?

EzioS · 02-19-2010, 04:16 AM

Lookin nice! Does anybody have a front and rim picture?!

Thank god, I'm going to Geneva.

Levi · 02-19-2010, 04:25 AM

I love it. Hope there'll be BMW Performance parts for Z4 and M3. It seams for M1 there will be.

..I hear you... it all comes down to marketing and what they are willing to warranty ~Frost

Rac10000 · 02-19-2010, 10:22 AM

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!

obviously. this i understand. but you cant tell me that there are really more people out there that are willing to spend the money and put all this aerodynamic crap on [a car that isnt aerodynamic at all], then there are are people who are willing to upgrade the suspension on Xdrive cars.

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.

XBMW6 · 02-19-2010, 11:58 AM

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.
