Athletic, expressive and elegant: the BMW 6 Series Coupé's striking appearance is the visual expression of exclusivity and unerring style. A long wheelbase and abbreviated overhangs, the arc of the bonnet and standard 18-inch wheels impart an unmistakably energetic air. Subtle lines, curving surfaces and perfectly placed details express urbane elegance. Combine energy and elegance, and the result is an unrivalled sports coupé - 4.80 metres in length, 1.90 metres in breadth, 1.40 metres in height and full of power.
At the front, the twin headlamps nestle behind stylishly curved, clear lenses, while the indicators further accentuate their eye-catching effect. Above them, the dramatic lines of the bonnet sweep forward from the A-pillars towards the chrome-ringed double kidney grille, while the twin exhaust system, LED tail lights and integrated rear spoiler ensure the new BMW 6 Series looks equally dynamic from the rear.
Heated, electrically adjustable seats with memory function are standard equipment on the BMW 6 Series Coupé. Even in the rear, passengers enjoy high levels of comfort, thanks to the two individually sculpted seats. The Dakota leather or exclusive optional Pearl leather upholstery completes the impression of luxury.
Sports coupés are designed primarily with the driver in mind - which is perhaps why so manIn the new BMW 6 Series, you'll find yourself rediscovering long-familiar roads. With its iDrive system and Head-Up Display, it allows you to devote more of your attention to the road. Every aspect of the driving experience is a delight, simply because the BMW 6 Series Coupé has the ability to effortlessly fulfil every expectation. It switches smoothly from sporty to relaxed driving and translates each movement of the steering wheel precisely to the road.
The revolutionary concept embodied by iDrive enables drivers to access the extensive driving and comfort functions of the BMW 6 Series Coupé intuitively and quickly, thanks to the Controller, a selection dial located in the central console. Menu information is displayed on the high-resolution Control Display, ideally located directly in the driver's line of sight. Frequently used functions such as the indicators, wipers or temperature settings can be accessed using the familiar levers and buttons ergonomically located in the cockpit.
With its compact dimensions (379 mm in diameter), the three-spoke sports steering wheel sits snugly in the driver's hands. Its integrated multifunction buttons enable the driver to operate the radio, CD player and optional telephone while on the move. There are also two driver-programmable buttons. For an even sportier feel, the optional six-speed Sequential Manual Gearbox (SMG) allows the driver to change gear quickly and precisely via shift buttons on the steering wheel or a shift lever in the centre console.
Driving The BMW 6 Series
For any given component of a car, there's a particular material which is ideally suited. Consequently, we use both aluminium and steel in the construction of the BMW 6 Series Coupé. Certain engine parts, the bonnet and the front-end structure including side walls are all made of aluminium. As well as reducing overall weight, this helps to ensure a virtually even distribution of weight between the front and rear axles, a major factor in the car's outstanding agility.
At the heart of BMW's Active Steering system is the planetary gear set incorporated into the steering column. The system uses an electric motor to vary the angle of turn-in, increasing or decreasing it depending on the speed. At low to medium speeds, the steering ratio is very direct, giving the car agile reactions and minimising the required steering input. At very low speeds, when manoeuvring into a narrow parking space for example, the system requires only two turns from lock to lock.
The BMW 6 Series Coupé is available with a choice of three six-speed transmissions that ensure optimum power delivery to the driven wheels. As well as six-speed manual and automatic units, it is also available with BMW's Sequential Manual Gearbox (SMG). The shorter gearing on the 6 Series Coupé further underlines the car's sporty character.
Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) allows you to drive at the limits without fear of exceeding them. It increases wheel slip at the driven wheels in order to ensure optimum traction on any surface. This then allows the behaviour of the BMW 6 Series to be controlled entirely by the driver, with the Dynamic Stability Control system taking a back seat. Only in critical situations and at higher speeds does DSC intervene, making changes as necessary via the engine management system. Up until that point, the driver can give their sporting ambitions free rein.
Safety Features on the BMW 6 Series
In addition to exciting performance and exceptional comfort, the BMW 6 Series Coupé also offers an extensive package of safety measures. The body boasts extremely high flexural and torsional rigidity, as well as invisible deformation elements that allow the bodywork to withstand impact at up to 15 km/h without damage. In addition, strengthened side members and a comprehensive airbag system offer further occupant protection.
In the BMW 6 Series Coupé, you'll see bends in a better light. Its optional Adaptive Headlights calculate the line of an approaching bend by using sensors to constantly monitor the speed, yaw rate and steering angle. The two xenon beams are then steered electromechanically to follow the bend accordingly. The results are impressive, with up to 90 per cent better illumination of the road ahead.
The 6 Series Coupé is fitted with electronic chassis control systems that enhance safety and increase driving pleasure. In critical situations, Dynamic Stability Control increases torque and brakes individual wheels as required. At the touch of a button, Dynamic Traction Control can also be activated for extra traction and more surefooted progress on difficult surfaces.
In addition to its various active safety systems, the BMW 6 Series Coupé features latest-generation airbag technology. Comprising driver and passenger airbags, plus head airbags and sidebags, the system is a vital aspect of the car's safety concept. It features an optical bus system that ensures the airbags are inflated at exactly the right time and to precisely the right degree. Within milliseconds of an impact, it also activates the seat belt tensioners, switches off the fuel pump, opens the central locking and turns on the hazard warning lights.
You'll always be seen in the BMW 6 Series Coupé, not least thanks to its Brake Force Display, a dual brake-light system that activates an extra area of each stop light under stronger braking. This allows drivers behind to recognise whether you're applying full brake force or merely braking lightly - a distinct advantage in those crucial seconds.es Coupé. The two individually sculpted rear seats and the easy access to the rear mean the BMW 6 Series offers sports coupé excitement for four. What's more, the surprisingly large boot holds 450 litres of luggage, or two large suitcases.
