X6 arriving soon with MHT (mild hybrid technology)

BMW BFG · 09-26-2020, 12:07 AM

Hi all,

Ordered a new x6

and have been told it'll come with MHT.

Anyone had any experience of this? It appears it only just got added to the X6 line up and this will be one of the first in the UK...

How does it look/work in the idrive? Apparently it gives the x6 a 20bhp boost and .4 sec off the 0-60... wonder if it'll be noticeable?

It's been available here in Bulgaria for a few months now. It's nothing spectacular. It is most beneficial in stop/go traffic where it shuts off the engine before you actually come to a complete stop.

0.4s is literally a blink of an eye so I really really doubt you'll notice that difference.

Ok that's frustrating as start stop technology is one of my most hated modern adaptions!

Yeah I am no speed demon but I remember in my younger days .5sec was a big deal at the car shows I used to go to... people would mod to gain it so was a nice surprise to get in the X6.

Well .. at least for every .1 there is a one car difference in drag .. meaning it will have 4 cars in total and that's huge .. and I am sure it would make much better numbers on a 1/4 of a mile

Who'd drag race a 30d though?

The 20hp boost and .4 sec gain and 10% gain in fuel economy though welcome are to be balanced against pros and cons of having a battery(weight/longevity issues) and engine as opposed to an engine alone.
I would imagine that the F15 40e owners would know better though it was hamstrung with a 2l engine.

You'ed be surprised how much power these suckers have .. I haven't tried the 30d yet

But I have the 40i M sport and it runs faster than my 12MY cayenne s V8

FWIW, I have a new 45e, and for running around town, I almost never need more power than the electric motor has. Now, the motor on this vehicle has a lot more power than the mild hybrid, but, other than the sound and the additional power, there's no vibration or shudder when the engine turns on or off. They seem to have worked on the motor mounts and other controls to smooth things out when the motor turns on/off.

Did they also move to a 48v system?

Well good luck if they haven't fixed the current STOP and recall on all cars with the 48V MHT due to an issue with the battery cables. Was supposed to take delivery of mine two weeks ago. No sign of it having a fix date yet. So peed off!!! It's all 30d's with MHT btw so X, 5 and 3 series

OK if I ended up at a facility that allowed it might give it a go...

O no

... glad you mentioned in advance so I can prepare but really sad news.... do they not have a fix or just dealership busy ?

I'm not sure whether to ask in advance or say nothing and hope they release it to me....

Where did you buy from ?
