X6 M at the level of the old M3 How about, for example, with a good 20 kilometer Nürburgring-Nordschleife? In his three and a half years of development phase of the BMW X6 M has there been unwound over 8,000 kilometers. And besides, really fast times has been set according to project manager Herbert Bayerl of the M GmbH. "We have over the old model made ​​two steps forward. The new BMW X6 M moves on the level of M3 predecessor," says Bayerl. To classify: The 420 PS strong and heavy under 1.7 tonnes M3 E92 type managed in the sport auto Supertest (12/2007) in 8:05 minutes through the Green Hell. If the new BMW X6 M can really reproduce this lap time, it would better the predecessor about 20 seconds on the Nürburgring-Nordschleife (8:24 minutes in the sport auto Supertest 11/2009). But not only that: The new edition of the BMX X6 would also set the record for series-SUV Range Rover Sport SVR easy to crack - even pulverize. "We have been traveling much faster in testing and have the times of Range Rover several times undercut by worlds. We do not need any special add-on parts to go faster," says Bayerl. A record attempt is not planned by BMW M GmbH yet. "We leave it to you," the project manager says with a smile.
