The guys from MM-Performance are doing their best to keep their customers happy. Whathever they desire, the Polish tuner can achieve. The most recent car on their list seems to be a BMW X6 M. The previous generation, of course.
That's because the new one is not available yet but we've heard it has some pretty slick tricks up its sleeve. Until we get to see them, though, we'll have to deal with the E71 model.

In stock guise, the E71 is fitted with the first ever turbocharged engine developed by the Motorsport division. Based on the N63 units, it has a V8 configuration and 4.4 liters in displacement. Thanks to two turbochargers it makes 555 HP and 680 Nm (501 lb-ft) of torque in stock guise.

All that power is then sent to all four corners of the car through the xDrive all-wheel drive system and a classic 6-speed automatic gearbox. That will change on the new model that will adopt the 7-speed DCT unit from the F10 M5.

The guys from MM Performance were also eager to give this car a bit more power. Therefore they used a Hartge upgrade kit that took the numbers up from 516 HP and 664 Nm to 584 HP and 755 Nm of torque. At least that's what the dyno showed.

On the visual front, small, essential touches in the right places made a big difference. The boot lid received a rather impressive spoiler, the windows were tinted, the front grilles went black and the taillights were smoked out. Together with the new wheels and extra power, this is one menacing X6.
