The change from the BMW X5 to the more competitive BMW X3 in 2006 saw the first major successes. Guerlain Chicherit won the 14th stage of the 2006 Dakar Rally and thus became the X-Raid team's first Dakar stage winner. A year later, Nasser Al-Attiyah was also able to achieve a stage win on the 10th stage of the 2007 Dakar Rally . He finished the rally in 6th place overall.
In 2008, Al-Attiyah won the Saudi Arabia Hail Baja , the UAE Desert Challenge , the Hungarian Baja and the Baja Spain . He also became world marathon rally champion. At the Central Europe Rally , the replacement event for the Dakar Rally, Bruno Saby came in sixth as the best driver of the team.
The team entered the 2009 Dakar Rally with its further developed vehicles with high expectations . Nasser Al-Attiyah initially fought hard fights with Carlos Sainz and was twice the fastest of the day. However, he was disqualified while in the lead after the 6th stage because he had driven a different route than the specified to protect his damaged vehicle and thus missed too many checkpoints. The other drivers lost a lot of time due to accidents or time penalties and thus did not achieve a top position. Only Chicherit and Novitskiy made it into the top ten places.
After victories in the Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge and the Rally Transiberico (Portugal, Spain), as well as a third place in the Rally OiLibya (Tunisia, Libya), Guerlain Chicherit and co-driver Tina Thörner secured the FIA World Cup for Cross Country Rallies 2009 ( after 2004 and 2008 the third title in this class for the team). Other successes were the victory of Orlando Terranova with co-driver Filipe Palmeiro at the Rally OiLibya in May 2009.
At the 2010 Dakar Rally , Stéphane Peterhansel, lying in a promising position, only achieved fourth place because of a broken cardan shaft on the fifth stage. A year later, he was able to repeat this result at the 2011 Dakar Rally . In the same year he won the first Mini All4 Racing victory at the Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge .
In 2010 and 2011, the duo Leonid Novitskiy and Andreas Schulz secured the title in the FIA World Cup for Cross Country Rallies.
In 2012 Khalifa Al-Mutaiwei won the FIA World Cup for Cross Country Rallies with Andreas Schulz .
The team celebrated its first victory at the 2012 Dakar Rally . Stéphane Peterhansel and Jean-Paul Cottret won and Nani Roma with co-driver Michel Perin gave the team a double success by securing second place. Overall, all five Mini All4 Racing drivers achieved a place in the top 10.
In 2013 , Stéphane Peterhansel was able to repeat his success and again secured first place in the Dakar Rally. With Stéphane Peterhansel, Leonid Novitskiy, Nani Roma and Orlando Terranova, four X-Raid drivers finished in the top ten again. Despite his rib and spine injuries, which he sustained from an accident during the Dakar Rally, Krzysztof Hołowczyc drove his car to a second place in the 20th Italian Baja.
Krzysztof Hołowczyc and his co-driver Andreas Schulz were able to defend the title in the FIA World Cup for Cross Country Rallies for the team.
The 2014 Dakar Rally was the most successful so far for the team from Trebur. X-raid entered with eleven Mini ALL4 Racing and a team of 150 people and thus secured the record for the largest team in the history of the Dakar Rally. Of the eleven Minis all reached the finish in Valpariso, nine of them made it into the top 12 of the vehicle classification. Nani Roma and Michel Périn secured victory, ahead of Stéphane Peterhansel and Jean-Paul Cottret. The pure Mini ALL4 Racing podium was completed by Nasser Al-Attiyah with his Spanish co-driver Lucas Cruz. The team also placed 5th in Orlando Terranova / Paulo Fiuza, 6th place in Krzysztof Holowczyc / Konstantin Zhiltsov, 9th place Martin Kaczmarski / Filipe Palmeiro, 10th place Vladimir Vasilyev / Vitaliy Yevtyekhov, 11th place Boris Garafulic / Gilles Picard, 12th place Federico Villagra / Jorge Perez Companc, 19th place Stephan Schott / Holm Schmidt and 31st place Yong Zhou / Hong Yu Pan.
