Is there any info on when BMW are due to launch a new X6, or are we looking at minor facelifts for few years to come?

Regards

Mark

Hi Mark,

Face lifted X6 (aka the Low Cost Impulse - LCI) version has only just been launched with the first ones arriving in the UK a couple of months back.  Changes are mainly cosmetic as you would expect.  New toys, LED lighting in place of HID Xenon (at a price) and LED Angel eyes in place of the yellow H8 lamps.  At a guess it may well be several years yet.  Not even seen piccies of a test mule in the press yet.  New X5 due late next year, which makes it 7 years after launch and three after the LCI.  X6 arrived 2008, so 2015 perhaps?

For those with the power habit, there is a diesel powered 'M' version.....the X6 M50d (3-litre, triple turbo) due at the end of the year.  One member has his on order.....but doesn't seem to be inviting anyone for test drives.... O:-)
