Lumma Design Reveals BMW X6 Xdrive40d

When the BMW X6 was first introduced to the masses, I wasn’t really a big fan of the design although it slowly has started to grow on me. I mean, most reviews out there have pointed out the fact that it performs terribly as a car and even worse as a Sport Utility Vehicle. Like some confused teenagers out there, this BMW too has identity issues and needs figure things out. While it does that, tuners such as Lumma Design are putting their own twist on the BMW X6.

Lumma Design has been known to modify the X6 but this time, they tune the xDriv40d engine which is equipped with a twin-turbo charged 3.0 liter straight six which produces a respectable 306 horsepower and a massive 443 lb-ft of max torque straight off the assembly line. Not too bad but there is always room for improvement. First thing Lumma takes care of is the ECU mapping on the X6. The ECU tune bumps up the power of the X6 to 340 horsepower and the torque is now a staggering 494 lb-ft.

Next, Lumma technicians installed a sports suspension on the BMW X6 which stiffens up the ride, improves handling around the corners, as well as lower the ride height of the X6 by up to 40mm. 22-Inch lightweight alloy wheels are also installed and wrapped in 295/30-22 up front and 335/25-22 in the rear. Other exterior enhancements include a wide bodykit that has additional LED lamps implemented into the front bumper, blacked out front grille, extended wheel arches, side skirts with vents, a re-designed bumper, and quad tail pipes. Carbon fiber pieces are also scattered throughout the vehicle including areas such as the headlamp trim, mirror caps, and rear boot lid spoiler.

My favorite upgrades are on the inside of the BMW X6 with a very sexy black and white theme. The interior is treated with quality leather, carbon fiber trims, and aluminum pieces including the pedals. I also love that Lumma Design has implemented racing seats both in the front and rear. Overall, a solid job by Lumma Design on the BMW X6 xDrive40d.
