BMW X6 50 Jahre M Edition: exterior highlights

Compared to the standard X6 SUV, the 50 Jahre M Edition is exclusively available in two exterior colour schemes – Black Sapphire Metallic and M Carbon Black Metallic. BMW has equipped the X6 50 Jahre M Edition with a gloss black illuminated kidney grille, 20-inch alloy wheels finished in the orbit grey colour scheme with gloss red M Sport brake callipers, and an M Sport exhaust system.

Like the previous special editions, the X6 50 Jahre M Edition also gets additional M badges – at the front, rear and on the hub caps – inspired by early BMW Motorsport race cars. It features a unique design that sports semicircles in blue, violet and red colours.

BMW is also offering two optional exterior packages on the limited edition model. The first of which is the Racer’s package that includes black side decals and a rear spoiler. The Motorsports package offers the wing mirrors finished in carbon fibre and an alcantara-finished key fob.

BMW X6 Jahre M Edition: interior, powertrain details

The interior layout of the special edition X6 remains largely similar to the standard car. The X6 50 Jahre M Edition features powered sports seats which are finished in leather upholstery with red stitching and a leather-wrapped steering wheel as standard. BMW has also equipped X6 50 Jahre M Edition with heated and cooled cup holders, wireless charging, ambient lighting, and an automatic tailgate. Its other highlighting features include the 12.3-inch digital driver’s display and infotainment system, Harman Kardon sound system and wireless Apple CarPlay.

With no mechanical changes, the X6 50 Jahre Edition shares the same powertrain that powers the standard car in its xDrive40i guise. The 3.0-litre, six-cylinder turbo petrol engine puts out 340 hp and 450 Nm whilst being paired to an 8-speed torque converter automatic transmission. This allows the special edition X6 to accelerate from 0-100kph in just 5.5 seconds.
