Swiss based aftermarket specialist, Sportec, have developed an tuning program for the 2013 BMW X6.
The tuners, began their work, right from the heart, i.e under the hood, they focused on the inline-six 3.0-liter diesel engine which in its standard configuration gushes out 300 hp (223 kW) and 300 lb-ft (406 Nm) of torque, so the tuners remapped the ECU and updated the air intake, which helped them to uplift the total output to 370 hp (276 kW) and 553 lb-ft (749 Nm) of torque. And all thanks to such a configuration, now the X6 can do the 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) sprint in 5.4 seconds, making it 1.1 seconds quicker than the stock X6 diesel. And with that the top speed has also risen from, 130 mph (209 km/h) to 164 mph (264 km/h). The whole engine has been mated to a eight-speed Steptronic automatic transmission.
As for the wheels, the tuners got a new pair of shoes for the X6, and they installed a set of 20-inch OZ lightweight alloy wheels which have also lowered the car’s curb weight by 40 kg (88 lbs), and at the rear end they have installed a customized sports exhaust system which features carbon fiber tailpipes.
