Each and every new BMW LCI model to debut since the release of iDrive 8 has received the new screen setup. So it\u2019s not much of a surprise to see that the BMW<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/10\/25\/bmw-x5-m-dinan\/\"> X6 M<\/a> LCI facelift has iDrive 8\u2019s new curved display. However, it is a nice confirmation to see it in these new spy photos.<\/p>\n<p>The BMW X6 M LCI is going to be a pretty typical one. After seeing the BMW X7 and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/11\/19\/2023-bmw-330i-test-drive\/\">3 Series<\/a> get essentially the same LCI treatment, it\u2019s pretty easy to guestimate what the X6 M is going to get. It will get some slightly refreshed headlights, potentially some new air intakes, the new iDrive 8 curved display with its new digital gauges, and a new toggle switch shifter. It\u2019s all pretty standard, really.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_440073\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-440073\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><noscript><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-440073\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2023-bmw-x6m-facelift-spy-photos-02-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"2023 bmw x6m facelift spy photos 02 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2023-bmw-x6m-facelift-spy-photos-02-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2023-bmw-x6m-facelift-spy-photos-02-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2023-bmw-x6m-facelift-spy-photos-02-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2023-bmw-x6m-facelift-spy-photos-02-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2023-bmw-x6m-facelift-spy-photos-02.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of 2023 bmw x6m facelift spy photos 02 830x553\"\/><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload size-medium wp-image-440073\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20553%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2023-bmw-x6m-facelift-spy-photos-02-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"2023 bmw x6m facelift spy photos 02 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2023-bmw-x6m-facelift-spy-photos-02-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2023-bmw-x6m-facelift-spy-photos-02-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2023-bmw-x6m-facelift-spy-photos-02-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2023-bmw-x6m-facelift-spy-photos-02-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2023-bmw-x6m-facelift-spy-photos-02.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of 2023 bmw x6m facelift spy photos 02 830x553\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-440073\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photos by instagram.com\/wilcoblok<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>There is something new and interesting, though\u2014its engine. The BMW X6 M LCI will get the new S68 engine, the same one that powers the X7 M60, 760i, and XM. It\u2019s a 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 but it\u2019s entirely new, so don\u2019t mistake it for a mildly refreshed S63 engine, which powered the last generation of V8 M cars. This new engine shares the same displacement and size as its predecessor but it\u2019s a far more efficient engine with better thermal management and greater power potential. It\u2019s also a 48-volt mild-hybrid.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_440072\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-440072\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2023-bmw-x6m-facelift-spy-photos-01.jpg\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-440072\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2023-bmw-x6m-facelift-spy-photos-01-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"2023 bmw x6m facelift spy photos 01 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2023-bmw-x6m-facelift-spy-photos-01-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2023-bmw-x6m-facelift-spy-photos-01-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2023-bmw-x6m-facelift-spy-photos-01-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2023-bmw-x6m-facelift-spy-photos-01-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2023-bmw-x6m-facelift-spy-photos-01.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of 2023 bmw x6m facelift spy photos 01 830x553\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload size-medium wp-image-440072\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20553%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2023-bmw-x6m-facelift-spy-photos-01-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"2023 bmw x6m facelift spy photos 01 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2023-bmw-x6m-facelift-spy-photos-01-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2023-bmw-x6m-facelift-spy-photos-01-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2023-bmw-x6m-facelift-spy-photos-01-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2023-bmw-x6m-facelift-spy-photos-01-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2023-bmw-x6m-facelift-spy-photos-01.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of 2023 bmw x6m facelift spy photos 01 830x553\"\/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-440072\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photos by instagram.com\/wilcoblok<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It will be interesting to see how much power the X6 M makes, though. So far, we haven\u2019t seen a proper BMW M car with the new S68 engine but without hybrid assistance. So far, the only S68-powered M car that\u2019s officially been revealed is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/11\/18\/2023-bmw-xm-toronto-red\/\">BMW XM<\/a>. The X7 M60i is an M Performance car and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/11\/06\/2023-bmw-760i-review-test-drive\/\">760i<\/a> is a standard BMW. So it will be interesting to see where new generation of S68-powered M cars sit on the power scale.<\/p>\n<p>In the top-flight BMW XM, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/04\/15\/bmw-s68-m-division-engine\/\">S68<\/a> makes up to 750 horsepower, with hybrid assist. But in the X7 M60i, it makes the same 523 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque as the old N63 engine M Performance cars. And previous-gen V8 M cars, with the outgoing S63 engine (I know, the engine names are a lot to handle), make anywhere between 600-627 horsepower.<\/p>\n<p>My guess is that the new BMW X6 M will make around 650 horsepower, which will make it more powerful than its pre-LCI predecessor but no so much more powerful that it steps on the toes of the top-shelf BMW XM.<\/p>\n<p>[Photos by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.instagram.com\/wilcoblok\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">instagram.com\/wilcoblok<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We sort of already knew this was coming.
