The new X6 appears to be an evolution of its predecessor, sporting an aggressive stance from the front, and the same coupe-like sloping roofline from the rear, a design that doesn’t deviate from the proven formula. However, have a closer look and you’ll see that it is indeed a new car inside and out.

The new X6 features a more aggressive front fascia and bears the current BMW family grille and headlight design. Elsewhere, the sharp angles from the previous car are ditched in favour of more flowing lines, and there is now a chrome air duct behind the front wheels.

Inside, the new X6 benefits from having the new X5’s infotainment and assistance systems as well as more spacious rear accommodation.

Available with two choices of petrol engines, the 35i and 50i, and one diesel engines, the 30d, the new X6 is up to 22% more efficient than before.

Initially the 4.4-litre V8 xDrive50i will be available, which produces 450bhp and 650Nm, and completes the century sprint in just 4.8 seconds. Other engines soon to be available are the 3-litre 35i and the 3-litre diesel 30d.

SG: Buyer’s case against Performance Motors dismissed
A high court judge has dismissed a customer’s claim that his BMW 550i was of an unsatisfactory condition. The customer in question is a regional sale manager by the name of Mr Chan Chee Kien. He bought a BMW 550i in 2010 from Performance Motors for S$378,100, and the car had to be returned to the dealer 12 times in 14 months, with the earliest faults occurring just 2 months after delivery. As it turns out, Chan’s Ultimate Driving Machine is anything but; the car spent roughly 11 months in the workshop, so much so that he no longer wanted the car. He then sued Performance Motors for misrepresentation and breach of contract. Apparently, the car was riddled with up to 30 separate defects, even though 18 of them were not detectable or reproducible, and may just be simple issues which could be solved through maintenance. This led Justice Chan Seng Onn to believe that Chan’s claims were overly exaggerated, especially after he found it extremely difficult to pick out major faults in the car when it was taken for a test drive.
