so the "performance" package is completely cosmetic and no performance or power enhancements?
Lame... but it does look good.

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 http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=553916 |

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

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

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

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?

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 |
