World premiere in Geneva: LUMMA Design turns the BMW X6M into a thoroughbred sports car.

CLR X 650 M – that is the name of the BMW X6M after it underwent a rejuvenation by LUMMA Design. Instead of the serial 555 hp (408 kW), the V8-engine now renders powerful 650 hp (478 kW). Also, LUMMA Design increases the maximum torque from 680 to breathtaking 830 Newton metres.

Thereby, the top speed rises to 312 kph. This enormous performance enhancement of the BMW is owed to the catalyst replacement pipes, the sports exhaust system and the adjusted engine electronics which LUMMA Design especially optimised for this automobile in elaborate tests. The matching sound for this newly gained power is rendered by the end muffler “Sportsound” with its four stainless steel end pipes measuring 100 millimetres in diameter.

“Rensson”? Yes, name doesn’t familiar and we haven’t seen any of their previous work, but an aggressive modded BMW X6 M bearing the Rensson brand was spotted in the old foggy London.

If the X6 M wasn’t aggressive enough for your own taste, the Rensson branded one takes it to a new level. At the front-end, the redesigned hood gets a couple of air inlets and probably not our most favorite feature, a front-bumper with LED lights built in. (Audi anyone? )

The exterior design seems and it is indeed broader than the standard model due to the flared arches. Larger wheels and tires are also available on the car. At the rear-end, the X6 M Rensson gets two large oval exhaust tips that are likely to sound a bit different from the factory installed exhaust.

Opinions have been split, raving reviews from some, but negative feedback from others. Unexpected? Not totally, every single, non-classic BMW model has been through this purgatory and the X6 M makes no exception.

The Aussie fellows at CarAdvice took their turn behind the 555 horsepower M SAC and let’s see what they have to say.
