[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.

So the wheels is not the same as the picture show.... but everything else.

http://excelent.kuvat.fi/kuvat/BMW%2...pg?img=img1280

Coming engine mods.
- Downpipes with 200 Cel cats.
- BMW M5 F10 headers.
- New ESS tune

+ 700 hp after those mods....

Maybe low 12 sec at the 1/4 mile then?

Juha

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....

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...
