Now the BMW X6 comes to you off the work surfaces of Kulim

Usually when BMW Malaysia decides to have a model come to our country Completely Knocked Down, it was the models that top the best seller’s list in our country. This is the first time BMW has decided to bring a rather niche model in to be locally assembled.

Not much has changed in the CKD BMW X6, it still spots the extrovert design which blends the versatile character of all BMW X models while the interior still features exclusive trims and Dakota leather upholstery. The X6 also features a multifunctional instrument display with black-panel technology in the luxurious and comfortable cabin.

The xDrive35i comes with the M Sport package that will give you electrically adjustable sport seats, an M steering wheel with multifunction buttons and paddle shifters as well as Sport gear lever. The exterior on the other hand comes with a number of M Sport decorations to mark the X6 with the M Sport Air Curtains, Air Breathers and air vents.

A three-litre six-cylinder inline petrol engine powers the xDrive35i and will benefit from the full range of BMW EfficientDynamics. The engine generates a total of 306bhp and 400Nm of torque, this allows the Activity Coupe to make that century sprint in 6.4-seconds and to a top speed of 240kph. Even with impressive numbers like that, the average fuel consumption of the car reads at 8.6l/100km and CO2 emissions level of 200g/km thanks to the eight-speed Steptronic sport transmission.

You get double wishbone suspensions on the front but the X6 benefits from the presence of the Adaptive M Suspension package that raises the Activity Coupe and combines with Dynamic Camper Control and pneumatic rear suspension for a sporty yet comfortable drive.

BMW ConnectedDrive comes standard as like every BMW but the X6 M Sport comes complete with a Surround View 360 degree system that gives drivers perfect all-round visibility when navigating tight spaces.

Make a pick from Alpine White, Flamenco Red, Carbon Black or Space Grey, with a range of Leather Dakota upholstery colour choices including Black, Coral Red and Cognac. The locally assembled BMW X6 xDrive35i M Sport comes to you now at RM666,888 on the road without insurance complete with a five-year unlimited mileage warranty and free scheduled service program.
