2012 BMW X6 Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2012 BMW X6 covers three trims, M, xDrive35i and xDrive50i, on a single four-door sport utility body, with two turbocharged gasoline engines between them: the 3.0L inline-six and the 4.4L V8 of 268 cubic inches, both double overhead cam. Which one is in the vehicle changes the fuel, cooling, charge-air and torque figures a technician works to, and the manual keeps those specifications apart rather than averaging them into one table.

Known issues on the 2012 X6. Coverage is arranged so the two engines never get confused with each other, with separate procedures, service limits and torque values for the inline-six and the V8, including their turbocharging, cooling, fuel and emissions hardware. The shared material follows: driveline and axles, steering and suspension, the hydraulic brake system, the heating and air conditioning equipment, and the body and glass work of the sport utility. Wiring diagrams and diagnostic routines run the charging, starting, lighting and control-module circuits.
