There’s no question about it: the BMW X6 M of the F96 series is already an impressive vehicle as standard. This is all the more true when the SUV coupé has also been overhauled by the specialists at MANHART Performance in Wuppertal. After all, they not only gave the X6 M a significant performance boost, but also made its exterior even more extroverted and exclusive with an in-house Forged Carbon widebody kit. But of course it is always possible to be even more extraordinary and luxurious! This is proven by the very special version of the wide-body all-terrain vehicle presented here: the MHX6 700 Gold Edition 01/01.
The owner of this vehicle wanted something very special and extravagant to express maximum individuality and attract the greatest possible attention with his SUV coupé. Of course, MANHART was more than happy to comply with this wish: So the team did not just leave it at manufacturing all body kit components from already spectacular Forged Carbon. For maximum exclusivity and an eye-catching guarantee, luminous gold flakes were also incorporated. This applies to all kit components: from the radiator grille kidneys and the partially painted bonnet with GTR air outlets to the front spoiler, the wheel arch extensions and the side skirts to the rear add-on parts. The latter are a two-piece spoiler lip, a diffuser and two side skirt attachments. Further golden details are the decorative stripes and lettering of the typical MANHART decor set as well as the accent line on the horn of the new wheels.
The matt black MANHART Classic Line Y-spoke rims measure 11×23 inches with 315/25 tyres. To match these XL combinations, MANHART makes the MHX6 700 stand even more crouched on the road. As part of the suspension optimisation, MANHART coil springs from KW Suspensions are used, which allow variable adjustment, or alternatively MANHART springs from H&R for a fixed lowering by 30 millimetres. To crown the eye-catcher, the body is painted in an unusual shade of purple.
As the vehicle designation MHX6 700 already indicates, the 4.4-litre biturbo V8 has also been optimised: It now generates a whopping 730 hp and 900 Nm! These are generated either by means of a MANHART MHtronik auxiliary control unit or an ECU remapping. The MANHART stainless steel exhaust system with flap control and four 100 mm tailpipes provides an even more brute sound. In addition, MANHART downpipes in race version without catalytic converters, MANHART stainless steel OPF-Delete replacement pipes and MANHART OPF/GPF-Deleter came on board. However, these components do not have TÜV approval, so they are intended exclusively for export.
In the case of the Limited Edition 01/01, the interior remains in the high-quality and richly carbonised standard condition. On request, MANHART also offers extensive customisation with Forged Carbon. The offer ranges from an eight-piece interior kit for the dashboard and door panels to back shells and side trims for the seats. Attachments for the steering wheel spokes and gearshift paddles round off the carbon portfolio. MANHART floor mats are also available.
