BMW has announced that its X6 sports activity coupe will arrive in dealer showrooms later this month. The German automaker said Monday that its X6 xDrive 35i variant, with a 3.0 inline six-cylinder engine, would carry a starting retail price of $53,275, including freight and destination.
The xDrive 50i, with a 4.4 V8 engine, is scheduled to launch this summer, with a starting retail price of $63,775, including freight and destination.
According to the company, the X6 uses the same basic hardware as the X5 but has a sleeker profile and improved handling. It also has two inches in length added to its wheelbase in addition to a deeper front spoiler and some extended side skirting.
BMW's intelligent xDrive all-wheel-drive technology distributes power electronically between the front and rear axles constantly to help the vehicle adjust to driving conditions.
Production of the X6 will be added to its line of X5s and Z4 roadsters at its plant in Spartanburg, which is undergoing a $750 million expansion to increase production capacity from 140,000 to 200,000 vehicles per year.
The Z4's production will be shifted to Austria in 2010, and the Spartanburg plant will begin building the X3, a smaller version of the X5.
