Surprisingly, not many established tuners have set up shop in the former leader of the Soviet Union but that’s not a problem.

Russian tuners do it their own way. Even when, like in this case, they’re starting with a car customized by somebody as popular as Hamann.

This big and chunky BMW X6 M was fast and furious ever since it left the factory floor. With Hamann tuning’s handy work it became an evolutionary model.

So what was there left to do? Make it look as if a 12 year old boy thought it up and then take off the machine guns. After all, in Russia, those go on the inside.

In case somebody’s retinas are not protected, that’s unfortunate for them; the owner decided to get inspired by the Hulk X6 M and go for a wrap by RES.

Obviously, it had to be one of those green chrome wraps, the likes that couldn’t go unnoticed even if behind a mushroom cloud.

The hood also receives the obligatory carbon fiber foil coverage to maximize the effect. Interestingly, what’s under it remains a bit of a mystery.

Obviously the engine cover is not the standard one but it’s unclear if the 4.4 liter twin turbocharged V8 engine pumps out the standard juice or goes to the Hamann cocktail.

It’s very hard to say no to 670 horsepower, but the price of a conversion such as that can change your mind easily.

It seemed to have the appropriate color, but there’s something slightly different in this equation. The size and… bulk of the BMW X6 M make it much more fitting for the super soldier.

The sort of power that’s under the bonnet of the BMW X6 M also strikes us as considerably more Hulk-like than the screaming straight six of the small coupe.

Even though both engines are turbocharged, the 4.4 liter twin-turbo V8 produces some seriously impressive figures.

With 555 horsepower ready at 6000 rpm and 500 lb-ft of torque available between 1500 and 5650 rpm, there are moments when the powerplant feels strong enough to take tanks apart.

In the mind of a certain Russian BMW owner, the most important thing you can do with a BMW X6 M is show it off. Kind of hard to disagree with it.

What is a lot easier to dismiss is the lowered ride height and the two tone paint. The dark chrome green paint is more than acceptable.

On the other hand, the black painted roof and bonnet feel considerably tacky. The mix looks so bad that not even the 21 inch multi-spoke alloy wheels can save it.

Thankfully, the Russian tuning school still is big on tinted windows therefore you can hide yourself when sitting in traffic in such an embarrassing SAV.
