The New BMW X6 in South Africa




Yes that’s right, whether you like it or not, the updated BMW X6 Activity Sports Coupé is now available in South Africa. It comes with a few minor styling tweaks and more importantly a new diesel model in the form of the M Performance M50d.

The new M50d is fitted with a powerful 280kW 3.0-litre six-cylinder engine that will race to 100km/h in 5.3 seconds while reaching a top speed of 250km/h. The impressive part of this story is that the M50d produces a feisty 740Nm of torque available from 2 000rpm. Fuel consumption sits at 7.7-litres/100km with a CO2 emissions figure of 204g/km.



Other models in the range include the 300kW/600Nm xDrive50i, the 225kW/600Nm xDrive40d, the 225/400Nm xDrive35i and the 408kW V8 X6 M. The X6 M uses a 6-speed M Sport automatic transmission while all the other models transfer power using an 8-speed sports transmission.

Some of the changes include re-positioned fog lights, a revised kidney grille and most notably the option of adaptive LED headlamps with bi-xenon headlamps fitted as standard, while the back-end  also gets LED tail lights. The standard Nevada leather trim is now available in Vermilion Red for a more vibrant interior.
