Hamann BMW X6 Tycoon

Hamann BMW X6 Tycoon

Tycoon to the public. Featuring a new body, restyling, and serious performance upgrades shows the full potential of BMW's crossover SUV.

Currently, customers get a choice between the BMW X6 xDrive35i, which comes with a 306 horsepower 3.0-liter inline-six, the BMW xDrive30d and its 235 hp 3.0-liter straight-six diesel, or the xDrive35d, which has a 3.0-liter inline-six-cylinder getting 286 hp. Horsepower for the three is bumped up significantly, reaching 360 hp on the petrol. The two diesels see increases to 261hp and 316hp respectively.

Torque output sees substantial gains, rising by 140 Nm to 540 Nm on the 35i model, by 80 Nm to 600 Nm on the xDrive30d, and from 580 Nm to 660 Nm on the 35d.

Hamann is also working on a performance kit for the top-of-the-line BMW X6 xDrive50i. Currently, that car is rated at an impressive 407 hp and 600 Nm of torque, generated by its 4.4-liter V8 twin-turbo.

Hamann's design team put together a body kit for the car meant to give the car a more muscular stance. The package is highlighted by new front wings, and a rear wing extension, all made out of a lightweight composite material. A new apron with large air intakes, and LED daytime running lights round out the front. Wrapping up the back is a three-part diffuser, a rear spoiler, and a roof spoiler.

Hamann uses their Design edition Race Anodized 23-inch rims on the car, wrapped in 315/25 r23 tyres. An ultralight wheel, it is paired with "special chassis springs" and "progressively coiled springs" to lower the crossover by 40 mm.

The tuner firm added their own touches to the interior as well. Customers will find a sizeable amount of aluminum and carbon fibre throughout the inside. New instrument dials and a 3-spoke steering wheel are also included.

The Hamann BMW X6 Tycoon editions are available now from the German company. A BMW X6 Tycoon based on the xDrive50i should arrive soon.

Looks nothing like the Aztek at all. BMW, in my opinion, has never made an ugly car.

Here's the Aztek for reference.


They're both, um, "fastback sport utes", that's the only similarity.

If I had that sort of money, I wouldn't be worrying so much about functionality.

Honestly, if any of us had the money or income to afford these vehicles, we wouldn't be arguing about which is more practical or how much interior room A or B has.

For the money, I'd jump on this. 600 Nm/443 ft-lbf at 2,000 rpm and the chance to drive a aftermarket-modified BMW straight from Germany? Sign me up for that!

It's definitely a dead pedal, not the clutch pedal. =\

sexy but way to much CF for my tastes. cf outside is fine...cf inside is sorta just nasty unless it has functionality/practicality.
I'd buy it though.
