19 BLOG_IMAGE_176 German BMW tuner, AC Schnitzer, has just announced their styling and performance package for the BMW X6. Schintzer’s first order of business was to address the aerodynamics and<!--preview--> bodywork of BMW’s first Sports Activity Coupe. <!--more--> In the LINK_TO "X6 by AC Schnitzer", "http://www.ac-schnitzer.de/en/bmw-cars/product/x6/e71-since-2008/", the front skirt with its diagonal air intakes and repositioned fog lights are exposed. The skid-plate protection has been removed in favor of a more dynamic contour of the spoiler edge. The rear carries a massive skirt with framed edges. In contrast to the original, all components are painted body-color throughout, so the body appears down stretched and more dominant. A rear diffuser has replaced the rear skid-plate protection. BLOG_IMAGE_177 For those looking for a more sporting ride, AC Schnitzer has developed a unique suspension spring kit for the X6 on the North Loop of the Nürburgring. For performance, the only power upgrades available are a dual-flow exhaust system to match the new body kit and a re-tuned ECU for the diesel engine options. However, BMW is rumored to be working on a 500 horsepower, twin-turbo version of the X6 called LINK_TO "the X6 5.0iS", "http://www.autoblog.com/2008/07/28/spy-shots-bmw-x6-5-0is-puts-the-sport-in-sports-activity-cou/". BLOG_IMAGE_178 To complete the AC Schnitzer X6 package, 22-inch Type VII wheels will be offered with 295/30-22 tires in front and massive 335/25-22 tires out back. 0 2008-07-28T20:05:35-04:00 288 bmw, bmw x6, x6 suspension, x6 body kit, ac schnitzer, cec, claus ettensberger ac-schnitzer-bmw-x6 2008-07-28 active /uploads/blog_images/0000/0175/schnitzer_x6_thumbnail.jpg 2008-07-28T20:17:48-04:00 4 2463
