Hamann {link} have a reputation for extreme makeovers in the tuning world and their BMW X6 Tycoon is no exception! The first thing that strikes you about the Hamann Tycoon is the styling, the Tycoon a wide body BMW X6 sitting some 6cms wider than a standard X6. To give the X6 the Tycoon treatment Hamann have replaced the front wings, fitted rear wheel arch extensions, added a rear diffuser, added a front spoiler bumper combination with LED driving lights, fitted a roof spoiler and cover the engine bay in a new carbon bonnet.The Hamann Tycoon is lowered approximately 40mm despite having 11x23” wheels fitted to the front and 12x23” wheels fitted to the rear; all 4 wheels are covered by 315/25 tyres. The wheels have spacers fitted to ensure they fill the extra wide Tycoon arches perfectly.
Not only does the exterior of the Hamann Tycoon benefit from a styling makeover there are touches added to the interior too including deluxe mats in the foot wells and boot, aluminium pedals, carbon dash inserts, sports airbag steering wheel plus a speedometer that goes up to 300km/h (approx 186mph).
With engine tuning available on all petrol and diesel variants the driver of a Hamann Tycoon can have tuning upgrades of up to 360PS (35i) or just have the speed limiter removed from the range topping 50i.
The Hamann Tycoon is no shrinking violet, there is very little subtle about the styling of X6 and yet it does not look too over-the-top. The lines, grilles, vents and bulges all add aggression to the styling of BMW’s sport SUV and yet it does not look like (to coin a phrase) a chip-shop-racer. Certainly it will not be to everyone’s taste but the Hamann Tycoon is impressively built with excellent, quality products as befits anything from the Hamann stable.
