Wow, I love it! Ali G needs this ASAP!

MDyDinanM · 09-13-2011, 06:59 PM

so the "performance" package is completely cosmetic and no performance or power enhancements?

Lame...

but it does look good.

Pentium · 09-13-2011, 07:00 PM

oh man this car was make for this color!! freakin hot!

TheBingoBalls · 09-13-2011, 07:01 PM

Loving the wheels...but hate the spoiler.

Moo · 09-13-2011, 07:33 PM

All these recent M "performance" packages are more aptly named as "ricer" kits

Only the recent "performance edition retrofit kit" tunes really qualify as being substantial at all, and on non-M's, egads

They didn't show off the performance ugly stripes at Frankfurt, and i know why!
A= 'cause they are Ugly as Hell!!!, and they would be ashamed of it!

shanecarmaster1 · 09-13-2011, 08:51 PM

Those headlights look different than the standard X6's headlights. It isn't the LCI, so why?

Those are standard X6 headlights.

On a different note, what's what the flat bottomed steering wheel? Are people really going to track this truck?

Nice Job!! Love the spoiler and steering wheel.

J-boogey · 09-13-2011, 10:45 PM

wow! everything looks sick

eVitO · 09-13-2011, 11:22 PM

I like the aero parts, but I feel like the performance steering wheel is just completely useless on a car like this...

ORIGIN M. · 09-14-2011, 12:24 AM

Love the 21" wheels... What a Beast!

numba1guju · 09-14-2011, 12:25 AM

wheels are too small but diggin the rest of the parts

ron_jeremy · 09-14-2011, 02:01 AM

The X6 got so much beating when it arrived at the scene, but the sales figures speaks for itself, and now this, it looks sick, minus the rear CF spoiler imo.
Love the colour on it, reminds me of Hellrot.
An pretty old colour, or is it Imola?

DooBs · 09-14-2011, 02:16 AM

not a fan. the front splitter seems too small as if it was for a 3 series and fitted on the 6. same goes for the rear wing. just my thoughts.
with their design team, i'm sure there could have been much more appealing products

Quite a few members here do
I'm sure good amount of X6s are seeing tracks

Nothing's wrong with having some fun in a very capable machine

Cyrax91 · 09-14-2011, 09:04 AM

I love it. I want that wheel for my M3.

727jbh · 09-14-2011, 03:18 PM
