The new BMW X6
Sheer
Driving Pleasure

BMW EfficientDynamics
Less emissions. More driving pleasure.

Experience a Coupe like no other.

For the world’s boulevards and avenues.
And all roads – where eyes can’t follow you.

Fire meets water.

A form against the norm.

Whatever the road throws at it, thanks to xDrive,
the new BMW X6 remains unruffled.

A new challenge to the tightest bends:
Dynamic Performance Control.

Penetrating elegance. Into every detail.

Four doors are unusual enough for a Coupe.
For something really unique, just open one.

Tyres with reduced rolling-resistance
While driving, tyres are constantly changing shape. This uses up energy and
thus fuel. Tyres with reduced rolling-resistance have an improved design
and use special materials for their road treads and side walls, thus reducing
deformation.
This has gone in.
The pleasure you get from driving a BMW is the result of fine engineering – always setting the benchmark because it is based on much more than engine power. This is the tradition behind
BMW EfficientDynamics. It includes the visionary CleanEnergy hydrogen-powered engine, already used in a number of completely emission-free BMW 7 Series Saloons. Also going into
production soon is the BMW ActiveHybrid – an intelligent, demand-oriented combination of internal combustion engine and electric motor. And every BMW already includes a multi-award-winning
BMW EfficientDynamics technology package as standard that boosts dynamics even further while significantly reducing fuel consumption and CO2emissions.
High Precision Injection
In this cutting-edge generation of petrol direct injection, the Piezo injectors are positioned very close to the spark plugs. They inject
the fuel at high pressure and with extreme precision. Several injections are possible per ignition process. Thanks to fast and flexible
electronic control, the timing and quantity of the injections can be precisely adjusted to the power requirement, the temperature and
the pressure in the cylinder – for more output and greater efficiency.
Air vent control
Engine management signals the engine’s current
cooling capacity requirements constantly while
driving, rendering a permanent airstream through
the radiator unnecessary. The air vents in front
of the radiator open or close depending on the
environmental temperature and road speed.
When shut they improve aerodynamics, shorten
the engine’s warm-up time and so reduce fuel
consumption.
Brake Energy Regeneration
To supply a battery with electrical energy, the generator (alternator) is
permanently driven using engine power, which demands additional
fuel consumption. Brake Energy Regeneration means the generator
usually only generates electricity when the driver either takes the
foot off the accelerator or brakes – previously unused kinetic energy
is transformed in coasting mode into electrical energy before being
fed into the battery. In this way, electricity is generated while coasting,
without consuming fuel.
Some BMW EfficientDynamics features are dependent on the car’s equipment and are
not available for all model variants. Your BMW partner will be happy to provide you with
information on all equipment details.
And this is what comes out.
Thanks to innovative features of
EfficientDynamics, BMW has been able
to significantly reduce CO2 emissions in
many models. But that’s just for starters.
We’re carrying on our research with
EfficientDynamics – in the quest to bring
you more driving pleasure and less
emissions.

 Standard equipment  Optional equipment
 Headlight washing system provides
optimal illumination of the road ahead
in all weather conditions. Headlights are
automatically cleaned in parallel with
the windscreen when the lights are on.
Xenon Headlights for high and low beam
incl. automatic headlight range control and
headlight washing system, for much better
illumination of the road ahead in bad weather,
at night or in poor visibility. The four light rings
offer a daytime driving light function, and can
also be used as parking lights.
 Adaptive Headlights with variable light
distribution, incl. turning lights, illuminate
bends by optimal electromechanical
adjustment of the swivelling headlights as soon
as the driver turns the steering wheel (only in
combination with Xenon lights). The turning
light in the fog lights is automatically activated
even at a standstill, when the indicator is used
or with a steering lock of over 10 degrees – up
to a speed of 40 km/h.
 High-beam assistant aids the driver at night
by automatically switching from high to low
beam for oncoming traffic and cars ahead or
when street lighting is sufficient.
Fog lights in free-form technology,
integrated in the front air dam, ensure extra
safety in poor visibility.
Lights package includes rear reading
lights, rear footwell lights, indirectly lit door
pockets and inside door handles, exit lights,
and proximity illumination in the outside door
handles. This ensures that the area around
the door is evenly lit when the door is unlocked,
making getting in and out easy and safe.
 Dynamic Braking Lights make it easier for
drivers following from behind to see how hard
you are applying the brakes. Ifyou are braking
normally, the brake lights cover a larger area;
only during emergency braking do the brake
lights start to flash. This allows following traffic
to distinguish between a slight tap on the
brakes and full braking – for even greater safety
on the road.

the low-beam headlights automatically, for
example, when it gets dark or when entering
a tunnel.
 Roof railing, Silver: Available to lend the
exterior of the new BMW X6 an individual
touch.
 Sun-insulating glass for the rear side
windows (behind the B-pillar) and rear window;
these tinted windows reduce sun glare and
ensure a pleasant temperature inside the car
even in hot weather.
