Most of us in the UK will probably be going for the Dynamic Package, which includes the High-gloss shadowline trim. This in combination with the tinted privacy glass should make the pillar design...

It is supposed to be due in early 2009. It has not been listed within the launches for 2008, but I understand that BMW's Active-Hybrid technology is being premiered in the X6.

It does appear to be a Dealer Fit Option, and is available in black or silver, so it looks like we have time to decide and can fit them after we see them on a car.

I would go for black ones, and...

Sadly (for me) this engine is aimed mainly at the US market, it just isn't socially acceptable any more to own big powerful V8s in the UK or Europe. I will still put my name on the list for when its...

The Tasman (grey) one above is actually a 35d, but I am sure the exhaust tips on the 35i are very similar.

I look forward to the video. :thumbup:

The engine inside the hybrid is still a secret, although my bet is for the 35i engine or perhaps a 30i. Thus far I am led to believe that the Hybrid is likely to be 2009, but BMW are launching their...

Simon, I really like the 35i engine, in the 335i it sounds like an old school Nissan Skyline and basically feels more like a 4 litre NA V8 engine. But, I keep reminding myself that what we need in a...
