Suppliers to the new BMW X6
GKN Driveline and ZF reduce understeer on the X6
BMW unveiled the X6 at the 2008 Detroit auto show in January last year. The carmaker described the vehicle as a Sports Activity Coupe, an SAV and coupe crossover. The automobile comes with a choice of two petrol and two diesel engines. For the X6, BMW developed a new 407hp V8 petrol engine, which is the first 8-cylinder petrol engine with the turbo-charger and catalytic converters positioned in the V-section, between the two rows of cylinders. The OEM states this design helps reduce pressure losses.
