Exclusive UK BMW X6

The new BMW X6 isn’t launched in the UK officially until the end of next week, fortunately Kieron from here.org.uk managed to see the X6 in the flesh and take a few pictures.
Overall, Kieron’s review summed up, the pictures deceive the X6, when you see the X6 in the metal, it features tons of presence with aggressive attributes.
The X6 is reasonably priced with the option of 3 engines, the petrol 35i at £42,730, the diesel 30d at £41,965 and the diesel 35d at £44,145.
Typical of BMW, the standard specification isn’t all that good. Kieron decided to go on the BMW website and spec up an X6, which by the time all the options he expected to be included, ended up at a shocking £60,000. However, BMW will be releasing an improved Twin Turbo V8 xDrive 50i around October/November of this year. The 50i will grunt from 0-62mph in 5.4 seconds! It will also come with a better spec too.
I defiantly agree with Kieron when it comes to the lack of standard equipment. I speculate in 2009 when Audi realise the Audi Q5 with more standard equipment then the X6, BMW will then revise the X6, improving the standard specification to push for sales.
