to prevent cervical spine injury in the event of a collision from behind, that come standard
on the front seats.
All restraint systems are masterminded by one central electronic safety "brain" monitoring
the type and severity of a collision and activating the most effective protection units in each
case. The frontal airbags, in turn, come with a gas generator operating in two stages and
thus activating the airbags with varying intensity, depending on the severity of an accident.
In the event of an imminent rollover, the car’s rollover sensor activates both the curtain
airbags and the belt latch tensioners. Indeed, this integration of the system with DSC
Dynamic Stability Control guarantees appropriate function of the overall safety system in
good time whenever necessary. And to avoid accidents from behind the new BMW X6
comes with BMW’s two-stage brake lights.
The BMW X6. The first Sports Activity Coupe.
The BMW X5 has already demonstrated most clearly that dynamic driving qualities are a
decisive criterion also with a vehicle of this class and caliber. The BMW X3, in turn, has
added outstanding agility as a further factor crucial to success in this segment. And now
the BMW X6 focuses again on these priorities, raising them to an even higher level. As a
result, the world’s first Sports Activity Coupe from BMW once again sets the standard in a
market segment characterized by particularly dynamic growth And at the same time the
BMW X6, through its concept and drive technology, clearly proves and confirms the
exceptional innovative power of Germany’s premium carmaker.
The new BMW X6 is expected to be in US BMW Centers in the second quarter of 2008.
Options, pricing and precise launch timing details will be communicated as the launch
window nears.
