More spy shots of the upcoming restyled X6 are now available, now showing what should be the definitive bumpers. Please note the lower air intakes and the new fog-lights position. The pictured mule also shows front and rear lights’ outlines that are still slightly disguised, probably in an attempt to hide the LED lights that both ends should receive on the final version. Rumors that in Europe a tri-turbo 3.0-litres 400 hp engine diesel unit will join the fold of the current X6’s engine range are still strong, while a Active Hybrid variation has been already ruled out.

As previously reported, the revamped X6 is expected to hit the showrooms in Spring 2012, featuring just minor changes in the wait of a brand new model that will replace the current version.

BMW is currently working on a small facelift for the X6, just to keep the model fresh for some more years until its successor will come. In comparison to the original X6 - launched in 2008 - this restyled version will feature just some minor changes. The most remarkable one should be the new headlights, featuring squared off ‘angel eyes’ rings and LED daytimers (very similar to the ones we have seen on the BMW 1 series). Rear lights as well will get new graphics and will adopt BMW´s latest LED design, to match the rest of BMW’s line up. There will also be smaller changes to the bumpers, although the front bumper of the pictured prototype is still the same one that is being used on the current version of the car.

Way more interesting are the news concerning the mechanical side as a new six cylinder 3.0 tri-turbo diesel engine - which will deliver 750Nm of torque and a maximum power of around 390hp - will be made available for the M50d. The revamped X6 is scheduled to enter the market in spring 2012.
