Kenzo toured Argentina in a BMW X6

It appears that combining cars and art is fashion. After the private viewing of Jorge Gomez who sponsored Porsche on Wednesday at Hotel Alvear, Argentina retrucó announced that BMW will be the main sponsor of the art exhibition of Kenzo in Buenos Aires.

The designer, perfumer and Japanese art will be ten days in the country and plans to stage an incursion by the pampa s stays down some Argentine friends. For that was given a BMW X6.

The exhibition can be seen Kenzo Lordi at Contemporary Art Gallery, in Venezuela 617, San Telmo. There are paintings, sculptures and collages.

In my garage: BMW X6 xDrive50i

What infernal machine. All they had heard and read so far on the BMW X6 merely confused. The designer Chris Bangle spoke of a coupé and I saw a five-door vehicle. BMW reported that it is a Sport Activity Coupé-wheel drive, with many elements in common with the X5, but I saw only one car for asphalt, tires, asphalt, and for me to imagine an off-road handling.

Meanwhile, BMW Group Argentina celebrated the first 20 units were sold over the Internet in just three and a half hours with an average price of 120 thousand dollars, while I was winding my brain wondering what kind of a capricious millionaire burned in the second value of a house with swimming pool without ever having seen in person what they just bought.

Today all these questions disappeared. Not that I've found the answers, but my mind blank while trying to process the colossal figures of the X6: 4.87 meters long, 1.98 wide and 1.69 high. More than two tons. 20-inch tires. V8 engine of 408 horsepower. Less than 5.5 seconds to accelerate to 100 km / h.

I refuse to believe in marketing gimmicks Bangle and his German friends, but I refer to it as "X6" in women. Although not a truck, a road or a coupé. Or perhaps it?

I just removed from the headquarters of the mark in Tortuguitas and I manage a few days. So far there is little we can say is go to a 7 Series, accelerates like an M3, and M6 roars as an inside girl who is just over Bavaria, but only has four seats. When you have more horns clear what this device is, I will publish a full review.

This doubles the BMW X6

This afternoon, I return the BMW X6 to handle and after almost a thousand kilometers above earth and asphalt, and I forgot the strident debate over its design, lying on its name and its coupé ridiculous price of 140 thousand dollars. What appalled me most is the tsunami of technology hidden among the two tons of iron.

I loved the system that you turn off the lights when it detects high that another car coming from the front, adoré the four zones of climate control that eliminates all kinds of heated discussion in my trip and hit his head several times with the damn tailgate with opening angle variable. But what most surprised me was the Dynamic Performance Control that acts on the train back. It is not a stability control or traction that applies the brakes on the wheel maverick. Nor is it self a differential internal friction increases. Is much better.

The Dynamic Performance Control enhances the traction of the wheel on the side outside of the curve and rotates up to 10% faster than the interior. It offers more traction, but also more propulsion, which is not the same. Suppose you are in a rowing boat. We have two possibilities to turn left: one is to introduce the left oar into the water and the other is just the right paddle. The second option is an important advantage: you do not lose speed. In the X6 this translates into an amazing facility to take bends at high speed. There are less than to fight with the wheel doubles as if they measured nearly five meters long. A boat in any direction.
