Munich. The BMW 6 Series offers attractive new
additions to the range of optional equipment for spring 2017. The
options available exclusively for the BMW 6 Series Coupé, the BMW 6
Series Convertible and the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupé add touches of
striking style to both the exterior and interior, clearly expressing
the sporty character of these three upper class models.
The range of body finishes is extended with the addition of the
variant Sonic Speed Blue metallic, which is now available for the
first time. In conjunction with the M sports package configured
specifically for each model, the BMW 6 Series Coupé, the BMW 6 Series
Convertible and the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupé can now also be fitted
with the new 20-inch M light alloy wheels in bicolor finish and M
specific double-spoke design, including mixed tyres with emergency
running properties. Likewise optionally available in combination with
the M sports package, the interior trim finishers in Carbon Fibre
create a particularly inspiring sports car ambience in the cockpit.
These were previously reserved solely for the three variants of the
high-performance sports car BMW M6.
The figure 6: 40 years of sporty flair, luxury, elegance and
innovation.
For 40 years now, a combination of dynamic
performance and luxury has been closely associated with the model
designation “6”. The first generation of the BMW 6 Series Coupé saw
its debut in 1976, causing a stir not only with its elegant lines and
sporty driving properties but also featuring pioneering innovations.
The two-door model was the first serial-production vehicle with a
Check Control system. Its direct successor went on the market in 2003.
And with the premiere of the BMW 6 Series Convertible a year later, it
was possible to combine Sheer Driving Pleasure with the joys of
open-top motoring in a luxurious sports car for the first time. The
current model generation now offers three vehicle types for dynamic
performance, elegance and exclusive appeal in the upper class.
For the BMW 6 Series Coupé (combined fuel consumption:
9.3 – 5.4 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 217 – 143 g/km), the BMW 6
Series Convertible (combined fuel consumption: 9.5 – 5.6 l/100 km;
combined CO2 emissions: 221 – 149 g/km) and the BMW 6 Series Gran
Coupé (combined fuel consumption: 9.4 – 5.5 l/100 km; combined CO2
emissions: 219 – 147 g/km) there is a choice of an in-line 6-cylinder
petrol engine with 235 kW/320 hp, a V8 petrol engine with
230 kW/450 hp and an in-line 6-cylinder diesel engine with
230 kW/313 hp for each model. All engines are combined as standard
with an 8-speed Steptronic sports transmission. The petrol engine
models all feature a sports exhaust system in which constant power
delivery is accompanied by a particularly striking engine sound. As an
alternative to power transmission to the rear wheels as is typical of
the brand, all model variants of the BMW 6 Series are also available
with the intelligent all-wheel drive system BMW xDrive.
The luxurious fittings of the BMW 6 Series are highlighted by a
very stylish interior design and a comprehensive range of standard
equipment. The driver and front passenger sit on heatable, lightweight
integral seats with integrated belt system and electrical adjustment
complete with memory function. All models of the BMW 6 Series also
come with standard fittings such as Dakota leather trim, an
electrically adjustable multifunctional steering wheel, the navigation
package ConnectedDrive including hotspot and phone with wireless
charging, the hi-fi speaker system, LED headlamps and an alarm system.
The equipment lines Design Pure Experience and Design Pure
Excellence are available for selective individualisation. Here,
carefully harmonised design features for the exterior and interior
lend more marked emphasis to either the sporty flair or the exclusive
luxury of the model in question. With their exclusive design, select
materials and excellent craftsmanship, the BMW Individual options
available for the BMW 6 Series models allow even more precise
orientation towards personal style. Meanwhile, the respective
model-specific versions of the M sports package offer individually
tailored dynamic performance including optimisation of the car’s
outward appearance, cockpit design and driving properties.
