Hot on the heels of the special edition Porsche Panamera we saw earlier today comes two special BMW models developed exclusively for the U.S. market. They are based on the 2013 X6 crossover and 2013 6-Series coupe and offer a host of luxurious extras at only minimal additional cost. Of course, production of these beauties will be limited, so if you’re interested, you had better head down to your nearest BMW real quick as these types of special editions don’t last long. For the X6, BMW is launching a new BMW Individual X6 Performance Edition, which as its name suggests combines...

2013 BMW X6 Preview: New M Performance Package, StylesFirst reviled as a monstrosity mashing coupe and SUV together in unholy union, then slowly admitted to be a somewhat useful, somewhat sporty--if still ugly--vehicle, and finally growing on some of us like a four-wheeled, fast-backed fungus of fun, the BMW X6 is still a rare creature in the...

2013 BMW X6 Facelift Spy ShotsThe BMW X6 made waves when it was first launched back in 2008. Here was a big SUV but with almost no practicability, thanks mostly to its limited four-seat layout but also due to its smallish trunk. This was remedied somewhat with the introduction of a fifth seat option early last year, but now the...

One of the biggest drawbacks of the BMW X6--once you’ve learned to live with its awkward styling and steeply reclined roof--is its limited four-seater capacity. Remember, this is a vehicle that nearly matches some seven-seaters in size yet BMW chose to go with a 2+2 seating configuration, clearly emphasizing its coupe-like qualities. Now, almost three years after the vehicle was first launched, BMW has added a fifth seat to the X6 by designing an optional split-folding rear bench. The extra seat replaces the storage unit in the rear center of the four-seater model. The five-seater X6 is...
