But I'm not sure anymore if I want them white... maybe matte black this time.
Wheels and tires was very expensive....

[QUOTE=Ekselent;6400126]Hello.

The winter was so boring so I decide to buy a new car.
I have read that few of "us" have also bought SUV's for daily driver so I decide to buy it also... but NOT Range Rover. .. NOT ML63 AMG...
I decide to buy fastest and best SUV in whole planet... BMW X6M.

As I have said many times.... the best SUV in the world
I love mine and I'm gone upgrade the engine to PP Performance stage III and later with stage 4.
I'm not gone buy the parts from PP Performance. I now what they use and I'm going to buy/made the corresponding parts of myself....

Here is stage 2. (0-62=3,8 sek with winter tires.)



Here is stage 4.
- 0-100 Km/h= 3,5 Sec
- 0-200 Km/h= 10,1 Sec
- 100-200 Km/h 6,5 Sec
- 0-300 km/h = 28,5 Sec

The main thing is that we are in the same country ... Germany
in a speech at a better town Munchen vs Stuttgart ...
The purpose is just to open the eyes of those who only rotates in the same circles...
I own 3 Benz and 3 BMW so I am also a sign of the faithful at both brands...

Looks.like the MB was gaining fast and was passing the BMW right before the finish line. The BMW looks to have gotten a better launch but the MB was closing the gap and about to fly by the BMW. would like to know the trap speed of the two in this contest.

You must look at the second video to... the MB have no chance there either.
I'm pretty sure not at the top speed either....

Range Rover....

Yeah, the x6 did better in the second video. I wonder how they each perform after a tune? The X6M looks to get to around 625 while the MB goes to 670 hp. The MB is also readily modified to over 850 HP and 945 tq with some bolt on modifications. What is available for the X6?

I think because the base engine is much bigger at the MB vs BMW made a lot with tune modifications. (4,4 L vs 5,5 L).

I have not found anything big things at the new X6M yet .... As I mention few post earlier biggest I now for now is PP RS800 kitt.
So I think the new X6M PP stage 4 kitt is going to be around 850 to.
New and the old engine have no big differences?? (only the tune). Only thing I now so far is the new one have 8 speed gearbox vs 6 gears.

We well see in the near future what the out come would be......

At the PP RS800 kit they use M5F10 headers+bigger turbos.I'm looking for that at my car to. My new downpipes with 200Cel race cats arrive tomorrow with a new ESS tune also. I ordered the downpipes from Ultimate Racing USA few weeks ago. ( Black friday)

But the range.... is really lousy...
