2008 BMW X6 - Notable Features

There's a lot packed into the all-new BMW X6 that should interest buyers, from a 205-watt sound system, standard all-wheel-drive, a long list of safety features ranging from dynamic stability control to front-side and side-curtain airbags, and yes, iDrive central command technology.

What's most notable, however, can only be found in the xDrive50i version of the X6. That's where you'll find the twin-turbocharged engine that puts out awesome power. You might think this is old news - BMW's been using a twin-turbocharged engine in its cars for a couple years now. True, but that's the 3.0-liter six-cylinder, good for 300 horses; the 50i marks the first time BMW has used a twin-boosted eight-cylinder engine, with the result being 400 ponies and 450 lb.-ft. of tire-shredding torque.
