BMW is facelifting its most controversial model, the X6. And what better way of tidying up this coupe-cum-SUV than adding a diesel M version? The new X6 M50d is among the first of a new range of stop-gap M models to slot between the full M GmbH cars and the trim-level M Sport models. It'll sit alongside the new BMW ...

BMW doesn't do things by halves. This is their first full hybrid model, the ActiveHybrid X6, and it's the most powerful hybrid in the world. It combines a 407bhp 4.4-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine with a fiendishly complicated gearbox that contains two electric motors, one optimised for low-speed running, one to boost power at higher speeds. The X6 ActiveHybrid's electric motors ...

This is BMW’s new ActiveHybrid X6, the company's first full production hybrid car. With two electric motors mated to the twin-turbo V8 powerplant, BMW claims its new SUV is not only the world’s most powerful hybrid, but also offers a reduction in fuel consumption and emissions over the equivalent petrol-only X6 by around 20%. And all to the ‘joint enhancement of ...

BMW has done what it said it would never do and made M versions of its SUVs – the X5 M and the X6 M. And we’ve just driven the more expensive – and less practical – of the two, the £77,425 X6 M. So what are the stats then? The X6 M has a twin-turbo 4.4-litre V8 with a ...

Because one turbocharged V8-engined SUV in these times of economic woe is just not enough... What you see below is BMW’s official video footage of the new 2009 BMW X6 M testing at the Ascari race circuit in Spain.

CAR Online reader Batty ponders what gives a car a national flavour.

Announcing the launch of the world’s first sports activity coupe is rather like announcing the world’s first six-decker sponge cake – probably quite tasty, but hardly a Jaffa cake moment, and way too tall to enjoy without getting yourself in a right mess. So you don't think much of the BMW X6? I wouldn’t say expectations of the X6 are ...

BMW has caused controversy with its X6. We know manufacturers are trying to fill every niche, but a 4x4-cum-coupe? Really? Then again, with a clever XDrive rear diff this BMW also has the potential to be the best handling 4x4 ever. How does the new BMW X6 stack up on the road? CAR road test editor Chris Chilton puts the £44,590 ...

BMW is preparing the antidote to SUV-haters everywhere. Our car spies have snapped hybrid versions of the X6 testing in the USA with a new bonnet that marks out this ‘green’ car. Due in 2009, the BMW shares technology jointly developed with Mercedes, GM and Chrysler. Right, so this BMW X6 hybrid will be green? Green-er. While BMW got a ...
