New BMW X6 Shows Front and Rear Design Ahead of Frankfurt Debut

As the BMW X6 readies for debut in concept form at the Frankfurt Motor Show next week, BMW marketing have given the approval for all active X6 prototypes to shed more of their camouflage to a level never seen before. These photos taken yesterday in the California desert and streets of Munich are showing the full design of the front and rear bumper fascias for the first time. Also, the shape of the headlamps are more visible than previous prototypes due to less tape.

Expected engines include the 3.0 liter bi-turbo Inline 6 cylinder in petrol and diesel form making 305hp and 286hp respectively in addition to the 355hp 4.8 liter V8. Rumors have also been circulating about a 420hp turbo V8 to compete with Audi, Mercedes and Porsche.
