BMW has released official images and details for the X6 M Design Edition, which will send off the current generation of the German automaker’s controversial X6 Sports Activity Coupe.
Limited to just 100 examples, the X6 M Design Edition is only available in Melbourne Red, Sapphire Black and Alpine White. It gains a host of visual upgrades including a front splitter crafted out of carbon fiber, blacked out kidney grilles and door mirrors and an air diffuser integrated into the rear bumper. Standard double-spoke 21-inch alloy wheels add a finishing touch to the sporty look.
Inside, the Design Edition boasts full Merino black leather upholstery with contrasting red stitching on the seats, the dashboard and the door panels. Piano Black A metal plaque with the SUV’s serial number mounted on the passenger side of the dash helps set the limited-edition model apart from regular X6 models, as does a bi-color instrument panel rendered in Black and Mugello Red.
No changes have been made in the engine bay, meaning the Design Edition is powered by the same 555-horsepower 4.4-liter turbocharged V8 that is found under the hood of the regular X6 M. Power is transferred to all four wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission, sending the 5,247-pound SUV from zero to 60 mph in just 4.7 seconds. Top speed is electronically limited to 155 mph.
BMW says it hasn’t yet decided whether it will import any examples of the X6 M Design to the United States. Pricing for the limited-edition model has not been announced.
