BMW X6 wins “Off Road” magazine reader survey
Outstanding driving dynamics and unique design made the BMW X6 the clear favourite of the “Off Road” specialist magazine readership. Winning by a clear margin, the first Sports Activity Coupe in the world scored top marks in the “Four by Four of the Year 2009” competition’s “Crossover” category. The finishing touches to the BMW X models’ success story were added when the BMW X5 was selected third in the “Luxury SUV” category.
The excellent score that BMW X models achieved during the “Off Road” reader survey is a reflection of the undiminished attraction of BMW X models and proves the successful reinterpretation of their most important features in the context of a completely new vehicle segment. The superior driving dynamics of the winning Sports Activity Coupe BMW X6 are underlined by the model’s coupe-like line arrangement and powerful stance, which made their presence felt from the first. The new vehicle concept is closely connected with a unique driving experience. Dynamic Performance Control, introduced with the BMW X6, carries out the variable distribution of drive power between the front and rear wheels not only by means of the electronically controlled BMW xDrive all-wheel-drive but also between both rear wheels, thus consistently adjusting to driving conditions at all times and in all situations. Attributes such as agility, steering precision, stability and traction are raised to new dimensions.
Due to its modern drive technology, which includes the integration of extensive BMW EfficientDynamics technology, the BMW X6 also meets the requirements for reduced consumption and emission rates. An EU test cycle showed an average fuel consumption of 8.2 litres for 100 kilometres. With this result, the 173 kW/235 hp BMW X6 xDrive30d has achieved an efficiency that until quite recently would have been regarded as inconceivable for its category and performance class.
Exactly ten years ago, the German manufacturer of premium cars laid down the foundations of the BMW X models’ success by launching the predecessor of the current BMW X5 – the first Sports Activity Vehicle. The BMW X5 with its unique combination of sporting on-road characteristics and confident off-road traction defined new standards. Its predecessor boosted the attractiveness of the Sports Activity Vehicle concept not just in terms of dynamic driving but also with the combination of luxurious appeal with high functionality in the interior and the exemplary efficiency of its drive technology.
Accolades awarded by the “Off Road” specialist magazine rate high among manufacturers of all-wheel drive cars. They are based on the assessment of a readership whose substantial expertise and strong affinity to and fascination for off-road driving is on a par with that of the magazine’s highly competent and experienced editorial team. Last year, “Off Road” magazine celebrated its thirtieth anniversary. The magazine’s highly qualified readership has been taking part in the annual selection of the most popular off-road vehicles in the German market since 1982. The current success in the “Off Road” reader survey is yet another achievement in a series of awards won by BMW X models in the recent past.
Sales figures in this segment are another indicator of the sustained success of BMW X models. Ten years after the launch of the BMW X5, more than 1.3 million BMW X models have been sold, more than 243,000 of these in 2008 alone. Their enormous popularity was a major contribution to the fact that BMW successfully consolidated its position as the most successful global supplier of all-wheel drive premium cars in 2008. A total of 27% of all newly registered BMW models are equipped with xDrive and the near future will bring yet another expansion of the BMW X range. In addition to the BMW X6, BMW X5 and BMW X3 models, the car manufacturer will soon launch the new BMW X1. This new model will re-interpret the characteristic attributes of this vehicle segment in the context of the premium compact category.

AC Schnitzer BMW X6
An eyecatcher at first glance – this calls for a closer look AC Schnitzer presents the new styling and performance package for the BMW X6. The new BMW X6 exerts a particular form of magnetism: not only does its chassis sit perfectly on the road, it also magically attracts attention. Now it appears there is only one place where the fascination, dynamism and presence of the first Sports Activity Coupé (SAC) can be enhanced: in the workshops of AC Schnitzer in Aachen. The result is a visual and technical masterpiece which further magnifies the core qualities of the X6.
Engines – Exhaust
Typical AC Schnitzer: The vehicle’s appearance is not misleading, but simply a reflection of its inner values. The renowned BMW tuner has developed a real firecracker under the bonnet of the diesel versions 3.0dX and 3.5dX with a new Motor Control Unit. Precise performance data will be released shortly.
Another eyecatcher is the chromed tailpipes of the dual-flow exhaust system in AC Schnitzer Racing Design.The Suspension Technology
Of course, sheer engine power is not the only ingredient in sporting performance. So Manfred Wollgarten, Technical Director of AC Schnitzer, has developed a unique suspension spring kit for the X6 on the North Loop of the Nürburgring.
The Bodywork
In the X6 by AC Schnitzer, the front skirt with its diagonal air intakes and repositioned fog lights are exposed.
The drive-under protection has been removed in favour of a more dynamic contour of the spoiler edge.
The rear carries a massive skirt with framed edges.
In contrast to the original, all components are painted body-colour throughout, so the body appears downstretched and hence more dominant.
Instead of the drive-under protection originally fitted here, AC Schnitzer Designer Michele Viandante has opted for a rear diffuser.The Interior
Perfect handling with corresponding Look and Feel is ensured by the “EVO” 3-spoke Sport Airbag steering wheel.
With AC Schnitzer, you hold the road firmly in almost any position. The X6 by AC Schnitzer takes control on public roads as willingly as on changing terrain with varying up and down gradients!The Wheels
22 inches racing alloy wheels Type VII are just as fascinating.
We recommend Continental and Michelin.
