BMW HARTGE X6 E71

Backed by more than 36 years of experience, HARTGE is one of the most extreme BMW tuners. Today's high-performance engines - many of which have already been almost fully developed at the factory - call for tuners who can do more than just tweak them digitally. Indeed, chip tuning - a magic word in this day and age - is more of a taboo subject at HARTGE. Their latest project is the BMW HARTGE X6 E71. Although the xDrive35d engine with Twin turbocharger is already the most powerful in its class, the specialists from Germany's Saarland region have breathed on the power plant so it now generates no less than 241 kW (328 hp) at 4400 rpm and a mighty 675 Nm of torque low down at 2000 rpm.
