The technicians from the California-based tuning house prefer customizing whatever they grab, but most of them are high-end BMW models.

The latest project involves this F86 BMW X6M, the model receiving just a handful of upgrades at the exterior, without any modifications under the hood.

The package costs around $10,000 and includes slightly revised front and rear bumpers adding as well the new set of H & R Lowering Springs, which lowers the SAV`s ride height to increase its stance and add better stability on the roads. The new lowering springs also enhance the car`s cornering capabilities.

As for the car`s engine, this Silverstone Metallic BMW X6 M is still packing the high-performance 4.4-liter V8 M TwinPower Turbo engine, which develops an impressive 567 horsepower.

This means that even if it comes with a massive body style, it can still have an amazing sprint. In this case, it goes full throttle from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.0 seconds, even better than the M3 and M4. The top speed is set at 250 km/h.

The aftermarket specialists from European Auto Source have also released a media gallery with their latest project. Enjoy and don’t forget to share your impressions with us! By the way, if you owned a BMW X6 M and want some clean mods, would you take your SAV to EAS for a nice makeover?

It is a sort of a joint venture between AC Schnitzer, 3D Design or Akrapovic, all of them adding their contribution to the car`s project.

For instance, AC Schnitzer has added lots of M Performance Parts to the BMW X6 M, equipping the SUV with its own styling bits. We are looking here at bespoke carbon fiber mirrors, black fenders vents, black kidney grilles, black roof finish or side stripes. Finally, the German tuner has also installed the 23-inch AC1 Forged racing alloy wheels, increasing thus the car`s aggressive attitude. 3D Design completes the scenery with a couple of new mods as well.

As you already probably know, a fine exhaust system could not have missed and this is where Akrapovic tuner sets in, fitting the model with its high-performance Evolution exhaust system which normally increases the car`s power and engine soundtrack.

Inside, the cabin is also refreshed with the new leather on the seats, console, lower dashboard, armrest or door panels, which perfectly contrasts the red stitching surrounding the interior.

Speaking about performance, we are not sure if this BMW X6 M has received any power boost, but we surely know how powerful it is in the stock version.

This means that the BMW X6 M features a 4.4-liter V8 BMW TwinPower Turbo with 567 horsepower and 680 Nm of torque, allowing a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.0 seconds.

This is a full package with a plethora of styling carbon fiber components, mechanical bits and an impressive power boost under the hood.

The model is standing out from the crowd with the exquisite Alpine White body wrap, along with carbon fiber trunk lip, front lip and carbon diffuser, which are part of the complete iND aero kit.

Amongst the most important new body parts, we should mention the presence of custom kidney grilles, side grilles, front reflectors and rear trunk badge. Other features also include the RKP`s carbon fiber rear diffuser, bumper inserts and front lip.

Mechanically, the BMW X6 M by European Auto Source comes with AC Schnitzer Lowering Springs which lower the car`s center of gravity, providing better grip and stance.

In the stock version, the BWM X6 M comes with a 4.4-liter V8 BMW TwinPower Turbo with 567 horsepower and 680 Nm of torque, allowing a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.0 seconds. However, with the new power kit, the car is even more powerful.

We are dealing here with the fitting of some important upgrades, like ESS Tuning Falsh Tune, Evolution Racewerks Catless Downpipes and Akrapovic`s Titanium Exhaust System. All these make the BMW X6 M even more outstanding, the SUV now delivering a whopping 600 horsepower and 790 Nm of torque. No performance figures were given but we expect less than 4.0 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h.

There aren’t any visual modifications carried out on the SUV`s body style, except for the massive 23-inch Hurricane RR Forged wheels, which make it even more outstanding.

However, mechanically speaking, the model is packed with a lot of parts that contribute to its increase in power. We are dealing here with the GX6M-RS coil-over suspensions system, stainless steel downpipes, bespoke titanium exhaust system with four 100 mm diameter tailpipes, as well as two rear silencers.

The car`s 4.4-liter V8 engine can be had with the tuner`s Stage 1, involving the Bi-Tronik 5 V1 power module, with 641 horsepower and 850 Nm of torque, quite significant than the stock 567 horsepower and 750 Nm of torque.

The Stage 2 comes with the Bi-Tronik 5 V2 and Bi-Tronik 2 V2 power modules, meaning an output of 690 horsepower and 905 Nm of torque. The last Stage 3 kit, involves the fitting of new turbochargers, ECU remapping, all helping the SUV reach a staggering 739 horsepower and 980 Nm of torque, allowing a quarter mile sprint in just 11.5 seconds.

The Stage 3 kit also comes with a custom and lightweight exhaust system, which delivers an impressive engine soundtrack; it is also lighter, weighing just 23 kg and helping the SUV received the aforementioned power and throttle. A nice gallery with the model is also available below, enjoy and don’t forget to share your opinions with us!

In order to achieve their ambitious purpose, they had to begin with a fast, big and mean car. It wasn’t too difficult to decide: the X6 M comes bundled with all these attributes. So they had a car.

Next, they had to modify it, which was a little harder, because…well…it was already damn fast.

First, they took both turbochargers and changed their compressor wheels, making them lighter, for less inertia and a better throttle response. They’ve reassembled the puzzle and balanced the wheels, at different rotation speeds, up to 250.000 rpm.

Then, a whole new, less restrictive titanium exhaust system had to be fitted. The two pairs of 102 mm tailpipes flank the large, underbody diffuser.

In the end, they remaped the ECU, to keep up with the increased air flow provided by the two turbochargers. The exact amount of fuel, the precise ignition point, the boost pressure and the air quantity have been set to adapt the new conditions.

The result makes the car feel like a real typhoon in a crowd of summer wind-like SUV’s: the V8, 4.4 liter, supercharged engine develops 740 hp and 980 Nm. These numbers are big enough to catapult the 2.35 tones Typhoon to 300 km/h and help it cover the ¼ mile in 11.5 seconds!

Surely, to send such amount of power to the ground, the 315/25ZR23 tyres need to work hard. Same thing with keeping the car on road, as the front spoiler pushes down the front axle even more than the original one.

Let’s keep in mind that all those vents had nothing to do with the looks of the car, as they were developed to cool the engine bay in a more efficient way. Being cool is just a bonus! They are the result of 12 months of simulations and tests.

Until we’ll have some clips with the new G-Power Typhoon, let’s watch the 725 hp engine of the previous version accelerating to 300 km/h.

3D Design is famous for its radical tuning programs and a lot of BMW models have been visiting their aftermarket shops in the past few years.

The body kit comes handy with a lot of carbon fiber components, all manufactured by hand. We could mention the new carbon fiber front lip, roof spoiler, trunk lid, side skirts as well as the new rear diffuser.

Still remaining at the back, the model also received a custom exhaust system with 100 mm quad tailpipes, making it extremely hot and aggressive.

Let`s not forget the new set of massive alloy wheels, sized 20 inches and finished in silver metallic for the outer side and black anodized for the spokes. Another important highlight is the new lowering springs kit which reduces the SUV`s ride height by 35 mm.

In the engine department, this black BMW X6 M has not received any upgrades, the SUV coming with a 4.4-liter V8 mill, developing 547 horsepower and 680 Nm of torque. This allows a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.7 seconds. All the power is sent to all wheels via a six-speed M Sports automatic transmission.

With improvements in both performance and visual departments, this E71 BMW X6 M is a thing to behold.

Starting within the bowels of the beast, we find its ECU was upgraded with a Velos software. The exhaust system is made up of a very inspired blend of Supersprint downpipes, x pipe and center section, while Meisterschaft was put in charge of valve control. The suspensions were also replaced by a very capable H&R unit.

Moving on to the aesthetics of the project, we mention Vorsteiner’s involvement in improving on the body shape, with new front spoiler lip and rear diffuser. The paint color was chosen blue, with the red brake calipers acting as a contrasting feature. As a final touch, Tag Motorsports fitted the E71 BMW X6 M with ADV7D custom wheels.
