ActiveHybrid X6










  • The ActiveHybrid X6, due to go on sale in the U.S. later this year, represents one end of the spectrum: higher-power electric motors and a larger battery pack. As the first image shows, the new X6 model has a twin-turbo V8 gas engine with 400 horsepower. Though this is a reasonably efficient engine for its size, it certainly wasn't chosen primarily for its fuel economy.


    • High efficient BMW V8 gasoline engine (300kW / 600Nm) with High Precision Injection and TwinPowerTurbo Max. Power (System) 375 KW/ 780 Nm.


    • Two-Mode ActiveHybrid transmission (2 electric motors max. 67 KW/280Nm each, planetary gearbox, power split, 7 speeds).

    • High Voltage Electronics (max. 425 Volts)

    • High performance Ni-MH battery (312 volt / 2.4 KWh).




    BMW's ActiveHybrid X6 uses a large NiMH battery pack and a new transmission with two integrated electric motors to augment its 400-horsepower gasoline engine.

    • Electric motor A (67kW/260Nm)
    • Electric motor B (63kW/ 280Nm)
    • Electrical oil pump for transmission pressure during E Drive.
    • Power split transmission with 3 planetary gear sets, 7 speeds.


    The ActiveHybrid 7's electric motor is tucked away between the gas engine and a conventional 8-speed automatic transmission.

    on the way down

    unspoken rules of relationship:



    1. Don't talk about past relationships, they are exactly that, the PAST.



    2. Remember it's a relationship, not marriage.



    3. Spend within your means, big elaborate gifts always need to be topped.



    4. Don't try to change things about your significant other, accept them for who they are and what they are. except for bad behavior (cheating, hitting, verbal abuse), this should never be tolerated.



    5. Give each other space sometimes, it's not healthy to be with each other 24/7. There is a time for that and it's called marriage.



    6. Don't piss off the parents, they have more influence than you think.



    7. respect each other.



    8. Get over fights and arguments as quickly as you can, life is too short to be pissed off.



    9.Talk and listen. an open relationship is a healthy relationship.



    10. Express your feelings for each other daily. A loveless relationship is stressful and soul crushing. everyone needs to feel loved.
