The perfect mix.

The High Precision Injection in the BMW X6.

High Precision Injection gets the most out of every single drop of petrol. In the wink of an eye, it can inject fuel straight into the combustion chambers up to 200 times at high pressure. As a result, each spark plug is always surrounded by an ideal cloud of fuel-air mixture, which in turn is surrounded by cool, clean air. The results: smoother running, higher performance - and lower fuel consumption.

High pressure. High efficiency.

Common rail technology in the BMW X6.

Both six-cylinder diesel engines available in the BMW X6 xDrive30d and the BMW X6 xDrive35d work with third-generation common rail injection systems that use Piezo injectors and a system pressure of 2,000 bar. This ensures even higher performance, lower emissions and better engine acoustics.

Efficiency from the wind tunnel.

The aerodynamics of the BMW X6.

With a drag coefficient of just cw 0.33 (0.36 on the xDrive50i), the BMW X6 sets new standards in its class - thanks to the wind tunnel tests that accompanied development from the very start. From the underlying concept to the countless details, such as rear lights with integrated trailing edges, the integrated spoiler in the front wheel arches and an almost entirely smooth underside, everything was designed for lower consumption and emissions - and improved driving dynamics.
