Meanwhile, in the real world, people are appreciating the brand for things that are somewhat less fast, less sporty and less freshly introduced.

Regardless of the situation, the BMW X6 is quite the strong selling vehicle and it’s only natural to want to make a custom version for your own enjoyment.

So many zeros stuck on a car which is supposed to be sporty, sexy and still have a high driving position and an off-road look.

Within tuning this car, it’s fairly predictable to understand why AC Schnitzer tuned it the way they did. The German specialist didn’t bother too much with the off-road aspect.

It’s all about the sporty side of the equation. Once they were done with the 22 inch alloy wheel selection and aerodynamic body kit, things were mostly sorted on the look.

The suspension was also sharpened up but the boring side of the story is that the diesel engines are the only ones getting a performance tweak.

In AC Schnitzer form the BMW X6 xDrive30d develops 272 horsepower now whereas the xDrive35d is pushing out 310 horsepower.

All of these upgrades come in a nicely obvious packaged German form with some of the most decent or most overwhelming exterior packages.

Just in order to complete the whole deal, the E71 BMW X6 Falcon kit also comes with a considerable warranty which stretches up to two years or 100.000 km.

It’s an offering introduced about a couple of years ago just as the Bavarians were launching the E70 version of the BMW X5 SAV.

Since then, few things have changed about it. The body kit remained mostly the same, the engine output varies and more of the engines can now be tuned.

The Aachen based tuner fitted new bumpers, skirts and wheel arch extensions to create a relatively not obvious widebody kit.

They’ve then continued to produce a hood which has vents in it and may include chromed kidney grilles should you opt for it.

Overall, the look of the Falcon AC Schnitzer BMW X5 is a pretty impressive looking machine, which kind of lets itself down when you find out what engine mods are available.

Only the diesel powerplants receive a re-tweak. All the variations ever available in standard trim of the 3.0 liter straight six diesel can be given a bit of an extra boost.

The two M57 engines can go from 235 to 272 horsepower or from 285 to 313. Torque figures notice a similar bump.

With the more modern N57 powerplants performance is updated from 245 to 286 horsepower or from 306 to 360 hp.

The latter figure is pretty close to what BMW is giving you in the very expensive M Performance diesels so it might actually be worth a second look at.
