Sprechen sie deutsche? :popcorn:

Are there any wheel upgrades to be had, or even better, some pics ???

:thumbup: Danke, dear Steved!!! At least!!! Thank you very much!!! I was so busy with this end of year and did not check out any news!!!

can anyone translate?

If you look deeper into the price list you will see a 21" wheel option with 285 front and 325 rear tyres for just over 5000 euros...

Simon, I spoke with a dealer friend this afternoon and the UK price list is up on the dealer's intranet, you just need to point it out to them and they can take you through it.

Shame the V8 engined 50i model won't be available until Christmas next year though isn't it. I'm thinking of buying one of the first 35d models and having an order down for a 50i as well which would allow me to trade in the 35d if I wanted for the 50i after 6 months or so.

Linky ???, for i am dumb :rolleyes: :thumbup:

Wheel options are on page 9 of the pdf file linked above - and then it gives the 21in option at top of page 14. It appears the 21in option is the well known style 128.

Cool, thanks for this, i should have looked harder.


Surprised we haven't seen any shots with bigger wheels than the standard 19's

The super-cool launch video shows the X6 with the 5-spoke 20" wheels fitted. They don't look as big as a I would have thought though.

On the X5 those 20" wheels almost look oversized, so I'm not sure what's different on the X6.

So they are 20's on the vid on the other thread ???

Maybe the arches are larger, and i never noticed them being flaired like the X5 are when running 20's+....?

P.s. the 21" ers mentioned in the price list are the same as on this E70 X5...

Cool, i like those a lot....

I'd love to see them on the X6 to see how mean it looks, also with running boards....

Strange that running boards aren't featured in the vids...?

G.

Are they in the price list Glenn, I haven't looked yet.

I also would like the roof rails - somehow they seem to complete the look for me.

Didn't look tbh, i only just found the wheels ;)

Yes, would want roof bars too, i seem to remember some of the early pics had a car with them on...

Running Boards are option 328 - aluminium trittbretter - p11
Roof Rails should be option 386 - Dachreling - but I could not find them in the file

However on P17 it has nachrustsatz dachreling - which I think is roof rails that are fitted after delivery (nachrustsatz = supplementary part) - certainly they are in the accessories section (sonderzubehor) rather than the options section - that suggests to me that they are removable. These are available in Silver (silber) or black (schwartz).

This goes to show how the UK market does not favour big gas guzzling engines anymore.I'm struggling to remember the last time BMW did not launch a new vehicle without a big petrol engine.
Oh well, even though I am extremely disappointed by this it will not stop me from ordering a 35d Steve.
As we are both coming out of ML63's for this X6 I just hope we don't regret our decisions in 12 months time.
Was the X5 3.0sd that bad Steve when you drove it?

Hi to everyone. This is my first post here. I am reading this forum from some time its very good place for information:-):thumbup:

Did you notice that option number 2VA (Adaptive Drive
inkl. Dynamic Drive und Elektronischer Dämpfer Control) is available only for diesel model? Am i right or i miss something?

I am driving the 3.0sd again this coming Friday and spending a few hours in it, so will let you know Simon.

I also was working with one of the remap tuners this evening (Simitis) and they were very complimentary about the ease of extracting more power and torque from this 35d engine without any downsides.

what about the 35i Steve, the I6 TT should keep us petrol heads happy i'm guessing, plus it's cheaper than the 35d.

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 2 tonne car is torque and compared to the 35d engine the 35i has much less peak torque (although it is spread over a wider power band). I wish I could try the 35i engine before committing to a 35d, but I am not sure I will get the chance. Even at future press events BMW are likely to focus on the 35d.

Coming from a 630NM 6.3 ML63 I don't want to loose that torque (which equates directly to the feeling of luxury and effortless power). The 35d with its 580NM, which can be remapped to over 700NM is probably the better powerplant for the X6. Sadly.
