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.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

Image
The Alfa Romeo MiTo supermini is now available with the innovative two-cylinder TwinAir petrol engine. Although its capacity is only 875 cc, a turbocharger and the MultiAir electro-hydraulic valve control system mean it produces a respectable 83 bhp (62 kW / 85 PS) and 145 Nm (103 lb/ft) of torque. Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
