The new X6 was launched just two months ago and BMW is apparently already taking orders even though the car wasn’t introduced in the flesh at a proper auto show. Rumors said that the F16 X6 was to be unveiled in Moscow this month but more recent info shows that we might see it in the flesh first at Paris. Either way, the configurator for the new Sport Activity Coupe is now online.
On BMW’s US website you can now configure your own X6 and you have plenty of options to choose from. The Germans were clearly looking to make the new model more upbeat, luxurious and basically a whole different breed.
That’s properly reflected by the new configurator. You get to choose between two lines: the M Sport and xLine that is brand new. The former brings you 19” M Sport wheels, M steering wheel, a new body kit, anthracite headliner and Shadowline exterior trims. All for $3,500. The latter will get you a different body kit, 19” wheels and aluminum running boards. If we were to choose, we’d go with xLine for $2,500.
There are 11 available colors for the exterior, some of which are available only with one or the other world. For example you can’t get Dark Graphite Metallic color on M Sport but you can get the Flamenco Red.
Inside, plenty of leather combinations are available. However, the bi-color ones really take the cake. The Ivory White/Black Nappa leather definitely wins it here, with an unbelievably good look. Sure, it will cost you $1,950 but it’s worth the trouble.
Of course, other standalone options are also available, such as the executive package that adds 4-zone AC, HUD, satellite radio and ceramic controls to the package, the Bang & Olufsen sound system (for $3,700) and so on.
All in all, the most expensive model we could configure was around $104,000 with the xDrive50i model acting as the start-up point. However, dwell into the Individual package and you might end up at a lot more...
