Hello Dolls! So After a long Media Launch Break, due to Covid-19, I finally got to come out and play and it was with incredible beasts! The BMW X6 Competition and X5 Competition. Yhuuuu! I'll be honest the X6 Competition was the winner for me! She stole the show as you can see below
The Third generation of the high-performance BMW M GmbH models in the luxury Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) and Sports Activity Coupe (SAC) segments. Overall concept reprises the classical M blueprint for dynamics, agility and precision; combines with the versatility, extrovert design and modern luxury for which BMW X models are renowned for.
The shared racing focus of the BMW X5 M, BMW X5 M Competition, BMW X6 M and BMW X6 M Competition models is emphasised by their exterior design, which also adds striking flourishes that bring out the individual character of both the Sports Activity Vehicles and Sports Activity Coupes. Unmistakable visual pointers to the robust versatility provided by a BMW X model combine with clear references to their M performance qualities. The result is a highly extrovert appearance exuding supreme authority and unruffled poise. Inside the high-performance models, abundant space, top-class materials and build quality radiating precise craftsmanship create a luxurious ambience. The cabin’s classy, modern styling is further enhanced by displays and controls in a distinctive M design, as well as other model-specific features that sharpen the focus on the ultra-sporty driving experience at hand.
The high-revving V8 unit has been crafted in the M mould, as demonstrated by its instant response to the slightest movement of the accelerator, precisely controllable power delivery and linear wave of thrust into the upper echelons of the rev range under full throttle. The engine features a sleeve-free crankcase with a closed-deck construction and a forged crankshaft with extremely high torsional rigidity. Its pair of twin-scroll turbochargers are Powertrain. V8 engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology, eight-speed M Steptronic transmission, M xDrive all-wheel drive. nestled in the “V” between the banks of cylinders. The use of a cross-bank exhaust manifold enhances the turbocharging system's responsiveness and efficiency. Merging the exhaust gas flows from two cylinders at a time means extremely steady transmission of the resultant energy to the turbine wheels. The improved flow rate of gas through the manifold has the additional effect of optimising the gas-exchange cycle in the combustion chambers. The engine’s power build-up, efficiency and emissions performance all reap the benefits of the latest High Precision Injection direct petrol injection technology, which operates at a maximum pressure of 350 bar to ensure exceptionally fine atomisation of the fuel.
I only have my own images of the X6 because it was the winner of the day for me, but I will give a full review for you on both vehicles once i receive them for review! This is definitely one of my faves in this segment beauty and brains!
