M Performance Parts for the 2015 BMW X6

BMW has launched a selection of M Performance Parts for its latest X6 Sports Activity Coupé.

Those owners who want to give their X6 a more purposeful appearance are certainly well served. Bi-colour 21” lightweight alloy wheels are available in four styles, along with a black radiator grille, carbon fibre door mirror caps and a stainless steel exhaust silencer. Furthermore, the Aerodynamics Package comprises a carbon fibre front splitter, rear diffuser and tailgate spoiler.

Complementing the exterior upgrades are numerous accessories for the cabin. These include stainless steel pedal covers, an Alcantara and carbon fibre steering wheel and LED-illuminated doorsill kick plates.

The M Performance Parts programme isn’t just about looks, though. A sport brake set-up, for instance, consists of larger 19” discs that are matched with blue-painted calipers.

Then there are the Power Kits, which give a couple of X6 variants some added pace without harming their fuel consumption.

When fitted to the petrol xDrive35i, output rises from 301 bhp (225 kW / 306 PS) to 321 bhp (240 kW / 326 PS) while peak torque increases by 50 Nm (37 lb/ft) to 450 Nm (332 lb/ft). As a result, it completes the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint half a second quicker.

Likewise, a Power Kit-equipped diesel xDrive30d produces 273 bhp (204 kW / 277 PS) with 585 Nm (431 lb/ft). Those figures represent gains of 18 bhp (14 kW / 19 PS) and 25 Nm (18 lb/ft) compared to the regular model, enough to knock 0.2 seconds off the benchmark acceleration time.

Saab 9-3 Aero Carlsson

Image
Saab has got experience of producing special editions in honour of rally driver Erik Carlsson, having previously named versions of the 900 and 9000 after him during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Now it has decided to do it again, this time to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Swedish driver’s first win in Britain’s RAC Rally, which was achieved at the wheel of a Saab 96. Thankfully, the company has resisted the urge to just bung some fancy alloys and a few other extra bits onto something like a mid-range diesel model. Instead, it appears to have resurrected the limited edition Turbo X from a couple of years ago, as the new edition similarly features a turbocharged 2.8 litre petrol V6, Saab’s XWD all-wheel drive system and a six-speed automatic gearbox. The result is the 9-3 Aero Carlsson saloon, which turns out to be a very rapid car. With 276 bhp (205 kW / 280 PS) and a healthy 400 Nm of torque, the 0-60 mph (96 km/h) dash takes just 6.9 seconds. But it’s in the mid-range t...

American spec Fiat 500

Image
Fiat has released the first details and images of the North American specification 500. The tiny city car will be available in Pop, Lounge and Sport trim levels, and is distinguished from the European version by its more aggressive front and rear bumpers, bigger grille and flared sills. Another unique feature is the engine. Fiat has decided to use the 1.4 MultiAir unit currently found in models such as the Fiat Punto Evo and Alfa Romeo MiTo. Perhaps it felt that using the forthcoming two-cylinder TwinAir in the American 500 would have been too much for markets there to take? There’s no word yet on what power output the MultiAir will have, although in its current applications it comes with either 103 bhp (77 kW / 105 PS), 133 bhp (99 kW / 135 PS) or 167 bhp (125 kW / 170 PS). Similarly, prices have yet to be confirmed, but hopefully both details will have been sorted out by the time the order book for the 500 hatch opens later this year. For convertible fans, the 500C is due ...
