A couple pics of my x6
Well i picked her up standard 4.0d with the following spec
2010 x6 4.0d Dynamic pack media pack top view side view camera comfort access soft close doors DAB Individual Audio active cruise control HUD Privicy glass fold in mirrors blah blah blah so within the first week i did the following so I have had the x6 for over a week and the time came to start modding had the wheels sprayed sap black paint code 475 12mm spacers rear 5mm spacer up front fitted the bbk up front 405mm floating discs 10 pot calipers fitted the bbk rear 380mm floating discs 8 pot calipers HAd the brakes painted porker single green (same as the GT but I had pearl added to the lacquar so in the sun they look yum) ordered some m6 RPI scoops (modded them to fit and also had then sprayed) Gloss black front grill LED reg plate lights and also replaced all of the interior lights replaced the BMW badges with Black BMW badges lowered on H and R springs (i'll post up pics of how i did that) http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...3/IMG_0160.jpg http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...3/IMG_0162.jpg http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...3/IMG_0161.jpg http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...3/IMG_0163.jpg After a few weeks i ordered the following VRS front carbon lip X6M front bumper BMW performance side skirts and rear diffuser I also decided to have all the matt plastic sanded down and colour coded So £1500 lighter I am now the proud owner of this VRS for the x6m front bumper! pure sex http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...3/IMG_0165.jpg BMW kit and bumper http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...3/IMG_3161.jpg first coat of sap black going on http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...3/IMG_0167.jpg Few more coats don't be shy lamp it on phil http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...3/IMG_0169.jpg front bumper painted (the VRS is just placed on top it wellbe fitted once the bumper has been de nibbed and mopped) http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...3/IMG_0174.jpg few other bits the side skirts come in 2 pieces so the long piece you see is the part that is normally colour coded The grills for the bumper (and under the bonnet) were also colour coded) http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...3/IMG_0175.jpg The textured parts were then sanded down by me ready for phil to high build primer. Theses parts are not normally colour coded but I think there look much better once they are done. the wheel sarches well be stripped tomorrow for the same treatment. The wings and bonne well also be taken off tomorrow ready for paint. The car well comeout spotless :-) http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...3/IMG_0176.jpg I'll be busy tomorrow undoing all the fidly bolts to get the wings out! The rear end, this is actually quite easy lots of 8mm bolts and clips. In order to remove the out bits of the rear diffuser your have to remove the rear wheel arch trim as there is one plastic rivit there. Also the rivits are one use only so have a new set ready cheap as chips from BMW. To remove the wheel arch trim your need a trim tool, once the rivits are out you cant reuse them. Remember to remove the PDC etc from the rear trims http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...3/IMG_0180.jpg For the front bumper remove the 8mm bolts on the bottom and there are 2 on the inner arch. Once theses are undone pull on the bumper and it can be removed. remember to disconnect the fog lamps, side view camera PDC loom etc etc. Please note remove the front reflector on the side of the bumer there is an 8mm bolts behind it http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...3/IMG_0181.jpg Side skirts. One torx 25 screw (plastic) at the bottom of the front side skirts. The resr are plastic pusher just pull on the bottom of the side skirt there pop out. once theses are out open the doors and pull the side skirts off (there are held in with white plastic clips. Again have spare ones from BMW. http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...3/IMG_0184.jpg to remove the wing this is more involved. First remove the inner shit guards (about 20 8mm and 10mm bolts!). Once removed I jet washed mine lol http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...3/IMG_0185.jpg The headlight is bolted to wing. There are sone other bolts (remove the windscreen side trim there is a philps bolt there). The other bolts are on the top of the wing, open the drivers door to access the inner bolts. The other one is on the side of the headlight you rneed a right angle screew driver or similar tool as its a bitch of a torx to get to. YOur also need a bucket to drain the washer flud. The drivers side wing is more difficult then the passanger side due to the washer bottle. There you have it one wing http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...3/IMG_0187.jpg I didnt have time to remove the bonnet, My bodyshop well do that on Monday as I have stripped the most time consuming stuff off. Its such great fun stripping your car lol. below is a pic with it stripped :-) http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...3/IMG_0202.jpg after 1.5 weeks it was time to put it back together:-) The results are below Front end shot http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...3/IMG_0240.jpg another front end http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...3/IMG_0223.jpg Front arch trimed and painted http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...3/IMG_0235.jpg Performance side skirts (the part sticking out is normally painted I got the whole lot done http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...3/IMG_0234.jpg Rear end http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...3/IMG_0239.jpg Rear arch colour coded http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...3/IMG_0238.jpg Next up was the exhaust big thanks to guys at pro fusion custom I know a few guys have had their exhaust systems done by them and they have done all the exhausts on my previous BMW. I'll get pics of the system under the car but basically its 3.5inch all the way (with a box) and then splits out to the quads, the noise is much the same as before, (however under load it sounds amazing). I can remove the DPF and get it coded out but I dont think i'll do that. I had to buy the trims that you require if you want to fit the BMW square tips,hence the delay. Anyway here are the pics:- staggered pipes http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...ps1311746e.jpg now the reason the pipes point up wards is so that they follow the line of the rear bumper...having them stright just looked crap! http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...psd71ad1d7.jpg rear end http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...ps79d912cf.jpg another view http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...psc94498f1.jpg The system is all polished from underneath so i'll get it in the air for better pics. The car seems to pull more but that may just be me lol! My new security system is also in place lol http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...ps4e1ea434.jpg I posted this up on x drivers but forgot to do it here lol! Next up is ICE and i'll put on my 22" rims in summer :-) |
So that's where they hid the washer reservoir......;)

the car now sits on kwv3 coilovers http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...ps61a02c64.jpg The exhaust is a magnaflow system my friend is the offical importer in the UK he made the system up so anything is possible I hope this answer's your questions i'm actually thinking of selling the X6 as i'm a bit bored with it |
Wow your X6 looks so clean! We dont get diesel X6 in Canada, rediculous, So there is such a thing as ordering a BMW performance kit? from BMW? And you just added a factory X6M bumper to your 4.0d? Sorry for all the rookie questions I am just trying to get some options for the X635i,
If there was a chance to ever buy yours id be sooo interested yours is a beauty!! shipping would be a pain though haha.... thanks so much westside for your reply I appreciate it! |

yes you can order the BMW performance kit, it consists of side skirts and the rear diffuser which comes in 3 parts. You can also order the BMW rear spolier and the side wind strips for the rear window. For the front you can prder the x6m front bumper (you also need to order the 4 grills which come for the bumper (3 for the bumper and one which goes under the kidney grills). I was able to re use my standard brake ducts. The side trims on the wing need to be trimmed as the x6m front bumper sits further back, I also had to trim the plastic coweling so the bumper could sit further back no big deal and easy to do. |
ok I am going to look into this, thanks for paving the way....does your friend that sells exhaust have a website? would he ship to Canada?
Tanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
also do your headlights have a peice on them that squares them up? they look like theres a black trim peice?"

Your also need to order the exhaust trims for fitting the bigger tail pipes from BMW. You simply cut the existing trims which are on the rear bumper and bond the new pones in place |
Very, VERY nice!!
