I believe this is what the M version may look like, so I have every intent on following its production, the same way I carry on with the 35 and 50.....

In the end, I'm just an X6 addict, looking for my pic fix, knowing that my emotions range from this, when I see pics:


To this, when no pics/ right news seen in a bit:

(Or when I've been worked up into a frenzy.)

I was thinking that as well (M version) because on the hump on the bonnet, it may be hiding a bulge like on the V8 M3 and those exhausts I don't think a hybird would have those on

(Gasp)

That's right! The exhausts! If you take a closer look at the exhaust in the concept photos, it shows a sliding compartment that is in sync with what engine part you are using, and they did not look like that.

I'm going to cross check this, but I'm quite sure you are right.



No luck, no clear pic of it, but I fell in love all over again. And I want those rims.

Re: Spied: BMW X6 ActiveHybrid (Production Version)


(sorry for the huge picture..for more detail)
Why would a Hybrid have disks like those and aerodynamic wing mirrors BUT this concept hasn't got any exhaust sticking out

OH and you can also see the bulge in the bonnet.

Re: Spied: BMW X6 ActiveHybrid (Production Version)

I'm searching feverishly for Hybrid pics, but the same ones keep popping up. There was one I saw once that showed the compartment sliding.

That bulge does not belong on a hybrid. Did BMW actually show us a concept that is in itself a mix between two models? Interesting--

It features aero kit & huge brakes because it a an Active Hybrid.

Exhaust pipes are hidden, and are only exposed when combustion engine is working (mostly always) - yet that's a gimmicky Concept feature which has nothing to do with production car.

Check this video (from 0:46 to 1:05) to se the exhaust pipes.

Oops my mistake, but i can't see the point in an active hybrid because it would just eat the electricity OR does it change between the engines depending on how your driving. E.g if your flooring it, it will change to the petrol engine but if your casually driving it will use the "battery pack"?

Re: Spied: BMW X6 ActiveHybrid (Production Version)

I was wrong.... (brooding)

The exhausts are the same as on the 50i. But the 50i has them more spaced out...it seems.

Those wheels need to make a detour onto the production models, really.
