BMW X6 LCI / Facelift
Press Release Munich. The BMW X6 is the world's first ever Sports Activity Coupé, still a unique combination of sporty dynamics and supreme versatility and with further enhanced appeal from spring 2012. Selective modifications in design and innovative equipment features hone the profile of the new BMW X6 as a distinctive model within the premium segment of all-wheel-drive automobiles. Its exceptional standing and ongoing popularity is due to both its highly expressive design, combing the athletic and elegant lines of a coupé with the supremacy of a BMW X model, and the fascinating driving experience provided by powerful petrol and diesel engines fitted with BMW TwinPower Turbo Technology and the intelligent all-wheel-drive system xDrive, including Dynamic Performance Control.
Since its market launch, more than 150,000 of the Sporty Activity Coupé were sold within approximately three years. This far exceeded the original plans. And the continuing high level of demand for the BMW X6 on the worldwide automobile markets is impressive confirmation of the unusual vehicle concept of the Sports Activity Coupé.
Striking accentuations at the front and rear, adaptive LED headlamps as a new option.
Precisely modified details in the front view give the new BMW X6 an appearance characterised by exclusive athleticism and supremacy. The standard fog lights are now set in matt finish surrounds in the upper area of the outer air inlets. Their higher and more lateral position emphasises the width of the vehicle. The striking three-dimensional modelling of the frame and newly designed bars, angled in the lower section, make the BMW kidney grille stand out especially conspicuously within the vehicle front section. The angle of the grille bars is flush with the bottom of the headlamp units, thereby creating an additional horizontal line which likewise highlights the wide track and stable road-holding of the new BMW X6.
As an alternative to the standard bi-xenon light, the new BMW X6 is the first vehicle in its segment to be fitted optionally with adaptive LED headlamps. Their bright white light ensures optimum visibility, while their high-quality appearance represents a new interpretation of the brand's hallmark twin circular headlamps. The three-dimensionally shaped luminous rings of the adaptive LED headlamps are strikingly levelled off both at the top and bottom and are overlaid at the upper edge by an LED-fed accent light. The light sources for low and high beam light are LED units positioned on a horizontal bar at its centre, feeding their light into the reflectors in front. In the new BMW X6 M, adaptive LED headlights are fitted as standard.
With its newly designed rear lights with LED technology, the powerfully shaped rear section of the new BMW X6 also features more intense styling. The rear lights are now two LED-fed light banks which create the brand's hallmark night design as a harmoniously glowing light mass. The fact that they are horizontally aligned and stretch far out to the sides emphasises both the width of the vehicle and the flowing transition between the side section and rear.

3 New MINI Flavors for Spring
A little about: Bayswater is one of London's most cosmopolitan areas wherein a diverse local population is augmented by a high concentration of hotels. The area has attractive streets and garden squares lined with Victorian stucco terraces, mostly now subdivided into flats and boarding houses. (Official MINI Bayswater information pictures after the jump.)
MY12 MINI Cooper S Bayswater Edition
The MINI Bayswater is a true athlete that likes to show what it’s capable of. The distinctive Bayswater styling shows not only on the bonnet, but also in the interior. The exclusive contrast stitching on the Leather Punch Rocklite seats matches the special fascia in Bayswater colours. Its bonnet stripes and mirror caps make it unforgettable, further showcasing its sporting appearance. They have been designed exclusively for this model in blue and grey matching overall Bayswater style. Similarly remarkable are the three exterior colour options: Kite Blue metallic (exclusive for the MINI Bayswater), Eclipse Grey metallic and Midnight Black metallic.
A Little about: Baker Street is a street in the Marylebone district of the City of Westminster in London. It is named after builder William Baker, who laid the street out in the 18th century. The street is most famous for its connection to the fictional detective Sherlock Holmes, who lives at a fictional 221B Baker Street address. The area was originally high class residential, but now is mainly occupied by commercial premises. (MINI Baker Street info below the gallery)
MY12 MINI Cooper Classic Baker Street Edition
Exclusive edition with style included, the MINI Baker Street inspires with its distinctive interior surface and a selection of equipment features designed specifically for this model. The MINI Baker Street is painted in Rooftop Grey Metallic, a shade developed specifically for this model but also has the available option paint finishes in Pepper White or Midnight Black Metallic. This model also comes with most of the valued features in which a driver expects in a MINI.
A Little about: Highgate is one of the most expensive London suburbs in which to live. It has an active conservation body, the Highgate Society, to protect its character. (MINI Baker Street info below the gallery)
MY12 MINI Cooper S Convertible Highgate Edition
The MINI Cooper Convertible Highgate is unmistakeable. And just to show the outside world which way the wind is blowing, there are three paint finishes available for this model: Iced Chocolate metallic (exclusive for the MINI Highgate), White Silver metallic and Midnight Black metallic. Further eye-catching details are the stylishly integrated Highgate model logos on the seat labels, side scuttles and interior trim stripes made of bronze, shimmering brushed aluminum.
