Bülach-based tuning company Sportec has revealed its program for BMW’s X6 crossover.

Using the 3.0-litre V6 diesel-engined model as a base, Sportec remaps the ECU software, optimizes the air intake and fits an Akrapovic exhaust exhaust, which sees output rise from 223 kW (300 hp) and 406 Nm of torque to 276 kW (370 hp) and 749 Nm. Shortened ratios within the 8-speed Steptronic automatic transmission make the most of the extra power, meaning the 0-100 km/h time drops from 6.5 seconds to 5.4s, while top speed jumps from 210 km/h to 265 km/h.

Visually, the X6 wears M division’s tricolour striping and a set of lightweight OZ Racing Superturismo alloy wheels which help to shave 40 kg from the vehicle’s weight.
