From Joerg Maltzan racetrack, best times, Grip - for off-road vehicles does this vocabulary as misplaced as a Swan Lake premiere in prison. And if the heavy guys ask to dance, it is gone, because free-style Catchen is usually closer to them than the delicate appearance on the tango floor. But what is still normal? The new BMW X6 it certainly will not be. The top model with the unwieldy name X6 xDrive50i bursting with power, promises sports car handling - and calls not only to its own brother BMW X5 4.8i out, but especially the Porsche Cayenne GTS. The forecasts had been the dynamic in the luxury SUV. In search of the Vortänzer under the thick Steinbeißern we have the assessment on dynamic aspects reduced.

BMW X6: head nodding or shaking? Both possible

The BMW zweieiige are like twins, in essence the same, but visually and charakterlich different. With the BMW X6 pushing a concept to the questionable peak: wrinkled away from all-wheel high office, to the sleek coupe with Autobahnhai stern. For his critics recalls the BMW X6 more to a bodybuilder for anabolic steroids abuse. And there are many critics. The guy simply provokes, head shaking and nodding to him are close. In normal civil environment affects his shocking appearance, in Beverly Hills, it is not noticeable. BMW And there will a large part of the production to get rid of. For the distance to the mass ensures not only the form, but the price - from 73,800 euros. With the test car used up extras exceed the BMW X6 even the 100,000-euro limit and gives such a (ab) upscale image. Well, are cheap and its counterparty. And the format is also not about social acceptability. Look better?

The Biturbo V8 makes the X6 for wild animal
Say: different. Anders is also the technology in any of the monumental four-wheel-coupe. The bottom sheet, the eight-cylinder X6 almost everything in high technology, which BMW in the mass production has to offer. It starts at Wankausgleich (Adaptive Drive), followed by the new Hinterachsdifferenzial called DPC (Dynamic Performance Control) and Active Steering and ends at V8 Biturbo with direct injection. Not the polarizing design makes the main difference to the rivals, but the 407 horsepower engine. Determined he pushes the 2.4-ton forward. Already in 1750 Tours are 600 Newton metres. And the force seems to have no end. The 4.4-liter Treibsatz turning more and more, a flash wins the BMW X6 to trompetet pace and according to turbountypisch from its oval tailpipes. What an extreme driving - very amusing.

Who is the sports champion? This question answered a modified scoring scheme. For the super-SUV AUTO BILD has the usual exit points scheme and focus on the sportsmanship of the three candidates. Particularly, there are many points for handling, driving dynamics, engine characteristics, delay and price to get. Value aspects such as variability and annexes Last but not ignored. Under greater involvement of everyday benefits would the winner X6 worse off. As a pure SUV performance but he proposes the Porsche scarce.
