BMW’s new corporate headlight and taillight scheme is now making its way across its lineup, and it’s looking like the X6 will be the next Bimmer to sport LEDs. Our European spy photographer spotted this BMW X6 with some very light camouflage on its headlights and taillights.
Look closely at the X6’s headlights, and we can make out BMW’s new squared-off LED ‘eyes’ sitting pretty behind the lens. As for the tape, that likely covers two strips of LED running lamps. If you’re having a hard time visualizing it, picture the current X6’s circular ‘halo’ headlamps replaced with LED’s similar to those found on the new 6 Series. As for the rear of the X6, we’re not expecting the taillights to change much. The taillights are shaped exactly the same as the current ones, and they’re unlikely to change shape in the update. Instead, like the front, BMW X6 will freshen them up a bit with some new LEDs, and call it a day.
We should mention that our spy photographer has heard rumors that the BMW X6 will also get new front and rear bumpers when it receives its mid-cycle refresh in 2013.
