BMW has revealed the details on the updated X6 model ahead of its official unveiling at Geneva Motorshow in March. The world's first mass-produced Sport Activity Coupe (SAC) was introduced 3 years ago and BMW has sold over 150,000 of them worldwide, exceeding their own internal original sales target. It is hardly surprising as the SAC gets in very well with the rich guy (& lady) due to its highly expressive exterior design that symbolize everything else bar subtleness.
For the 2013 update, the front styling of an X6 has been given an updated fascia with the new front bumper design, more intricate headlamp graphic and a more 3D radiator grille. The most prominent change is the positioning of fog lamp within the matt silver housing in the upper part of the bumper outer air intake. The radiator grille vertical bars are now angled at their lower roots, making the BMW trademark kidney grille stands out conspicuously in the front end. The angled section of the bars is similar in vertical position with the headlamp base, creating a virtual horizontal line across the width of the X6, accentuating the perception of width of the vehicle. The headlamp has been updated too, with an option of the LED adaptive unit. The standard unit is a xenon type, with new ring design that flattened off the their top and bottom section. For the X6M, the adaptive LED headlight is a standard item.
At the back, X6 LCi has been given a new tail lamp featuring two horizontal light banks, illuminated by LED. This creates a brand's hallmark night design with harmoniously glowing light, consistent with recent BMW offerings.
With the LCi model too, BMW has added new color choice; Marrakesh Brown Metallic, Orion Silver Metallic and Midnight Blue Metallic. These colors are among the nine metallic colors available and also available are two solid colors. More detail after the jump.
