My brand new X6 40d -> Akrapovic Tail Pipe Set for my white X6

Hi everybody
Today I finally get my brand new X6 40d. This machine is really fantastic. The first driving experience of this afternoon was just great!
I love this car

What's your opinion?

Here some pictures

Yeah the Logos are all gone. I don't like badged cars.
The look is really great.

The thing that I plan to do is the Akrapovic Tail pipe set in carbon. I think that will look great and give a special view off the back.
What do you mean with "lux lights"? Are these full headlights or just bulbs?
Do you have a picture of them?

Yes, as i said simple and quite cheap mods, akrapovich carbon tail pipes is what i had in mind as it is simple to install. 5.0 pipes still look better for me, especially in black but they are prob more rxpensive and complicated to install. Lux light bulbs are a must for ur car, around 250 usd i paid wth shipment to europe, also easy install. Have pics here but plenty on the forum (recent posts under photos). They have sorta led look for the rings and have zero errors. If you please u can swap them easily prior to service at bmw (although i would not unless i had light warranty rltd issues). Ur car already looks great but wth these two mods it will be even better. Congrats again

Beautiful! I love that front lower bumper. I'd venture to say it looks better than the M's front IMO. The M's front looks like it needs a lower lip else it looks like something is missing there. Your car looks great!

Beautiful car you got there. Even after all these years, I still find the X6 to be an amazing looking machine.

The power dome you have on the hood really give it an aggressive look even though it is a subtle difference, it still stands out. I like it. I really hope when the X6 gets a full LCI facelift, that it still has that striking road presence and driving dynamics, after I am done with my GC, I will be back!! lol

I agree. The M Kit is really not very impressive. Nearly disappointing.

At the rest of you: The Power Dome was a must for me at ordering the car. I love it. It's really a detail but looks so fantastic and makes the LCI a little special.

Thanks for the complements for the car!

Totally agree on the dome! I have a 2012 X6M and got the hood from the hybrid put on my car. I love it. Really makes the car look as powerful as it truly is. Nice job!

This week i ordered the akrapovic tail pipe set. Now i have to wait and then install them. I will post pics as soon as the set is installed. The diameter of them is really big (110 mm). I measured the originals and there the diameter is about 90mm. I think they will look great.
The installation of the 5.0 tail pipes would cost me about 1300 Euro, so I decided to get the acrapovic. Hopefully they will fit into the holes in the bumper ;-)

Here in Switzerland we have a strength law and an M will not give you any advantage in acceleration and top speed. The max speed allowed is 120 km/h. These 306 hp and 600Nm are totally enough. So there is no need of a M.
And the look of the car is just so aggressive. I just love it!

Akrapovic Tail Pipe Set for my white X6

Hi guys

Today i got my Akrapovic Tail Pipe Set at the dealer and directly mounted it.
The mounting was quite easy. Not very complicated.

Have a look on the following pictures and let me know what you think:
