I'm a little confused ...
This is German press release, No diesel X6s are on plans of BMWNA at the moment.

English translation for X6 part of press release. The only thing coming to US will be the N55 inline six engine.

BMW X6 with more efficient six-cylinder engines.


Now more than ever impressed with the BMW X6 in spring 2010, not only by its stunning design and a unique expression of the brand's driving pleasure but also a unique competitive environment efficiency. A new generation of straight-six diesel engines for the BMW X6 xDrive40d and BMW X6 xDrive 30d and the first inline six-cylinder petrol engines with BMW TwinPower Turbo and High Precision Injection in the BMW X6 xDrive35i VALVETRONIC ensure faithful to the development strategy BMW EfficientDynamics again even with these models for a optimized balance between performance and fuel economy.

The newly developed and now with an all-aluminum crankcase-equipped 3.0-liter diesel engines result in improved performance by 7 kW to 180 kW/245 hp for the BMW X6 xDrive40d xDrive30d respectively, at 15 kW to 225 kW/306 hp for the BMW X6 - combined with a reduced by around 10 percent of average consumption compared to previous models. Both drive units have a common-rail direct injection with piezo injectors, the new top diesel variant of the Sports Activity Coupe with a maximum pressure of 2 bar and 000 bar to act in the second diesel model with up to 1 800th

The engine of the BMW X6 xDrive40d is equipped with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology. It corresponds to the principle of Variable Twin Turbo, which will already just above the idling speed, first, a smaller and also at higher load requirement will be a great charger active. Between 1 500 and 2 500 min-1, this drive makes its maximum torque of 600 Newton meters, it reaches its peak at 4 400 min-1. The performance increase allows the BMW X6 xDrive40d an acceleration from zero to 100 km / h in 6.5 seconds, which increased efficiency is reflected in its average fuel consumption of 7.5 liters per 100 kilometers in the EU test cycle.

Impressive torque also distinguish the BMW X6 from xDrive30d, Its engine has a charging system with variable turbine geometry, has already reached its peak at 4 000 min-1 and is between 1 750 and 3 000 min-1 a maximum torque of 540 Newton meters available. The sprint from a standstill to 100 km / h, the BMW X6 xDrive 30d in 7.5 seconds, its average fuel consumption in the EU test cycle is 7.4 liters per 100 kilometers.

With a 7 percent compared with the previous average consumption reduced at a constant output of 225 kW/306 hp, the new inline six-cylinder petrol engine of the BMW X6 xDrive35i, the efficacy of EfficientDynamics BMW clearly. Its maximum torque of 400 Nm achieved the new drive is already between 1 200 and 5 000 min-1. Acceleration from zero to 100 km / h, the new BMW X6 takes xDrive35i 6.7 seconds, its consumption value in the EU test cycle is 10.3 liters per 100 kilometers.

All variants of the BMW X6 are from the spring of 2010 equipped with a standard eight-speed automatic gearbox, with its stresses, the dynamic switching process, the sporting character of the Sports Activity Coupe and the optimized efficiency an additional contribution to enhance efficiency. In addition, the standard equipment is added to the speed-dependent Servotronic steering assistance. The range of available optional driver assistance systems for the BMW X6, BMW ConnectedDrive is the Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go function, Lane Departure Warning and Side View, added to the system and speed limit info.
