2009 BMW X6 Hamann tuning kit

November 4th, 2008

German super-tuner Hamann has just revealed its first comprehensive customization program for the still-fresh BMW X6 sports car, that, being a mix between s four-door coupe and an SUV, tries to seat its generous bum on two stools.

Hamann’s first tuning kit for the X6 was revealed about five months ago when the German company presented, somewhat hastily, a modest-looking appearance kit for the just-presented SAC.

This time, the tuner tries to sell much more elaborated program that also includes an engine upgrade package for the 2009 BMW X6 xDrive30d and xDrive35d versions of the car.

According to the company, the upgrades increase their available power to 265hp / 600Nm and 320hp / 660Nm respectively. An engine upgrade kit for the more complicated V8 twin-turbo-powered xDrive50i is also in the works but it will be revealed sometime in November or even December.

The upgrade program, company says in its press release, includes a high-flow intake, an exclusive quad-pipe exhaust system and a set of 23-inch forged alloy wheels and wide 315mm tires.

The car that will have to fight its way through the ranks of such serious competitors as the Infiniti FX, Porsche Cayenne and the Mercedes-Benz ML-Class, may also be equipped with a Hamann aero kit with integrated LED daytime running lights, a roof spoiler, a bigger boot lid spoiler and a three-part rear casing.

Of course, Hamann also offers a light-weight carbon-fiber hood that will save some 5kg of dead weight. A 12-piece carbon-fiber dress up kit inside the X6 won’t save you a lot of fuel, but will nevertheless make the SAC look a trifle sexier.
