First came the convertible and finally we get this: the new BMW 6-Series Coupe.
The first thing you'll likely notice is that it sports a new found elegance and a touch more styling restraint than its divisive predecessor. Which is good. This third iteration of the Six Coupe will launch later this year - after the convertible - in two guises: the 640i and 650i.
Sadly, labelling the two GTs appears to have been left to a workie as they no longer match the engine size: the 640i gets a twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre straight-six engine with 320bhp, while the 650i gets a detuned version of the 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 currently startling regretful owners of the X6 and X5 M models. In the Six, it bangs out 407bhp and 442lb ft of torque.
Although ‘bangs' is probably the wrong word. We tested this engine in the convertible and found it's less of a singer, more a heavy-handed tour-guide. The 640i hits 62mph in 5.4 seconds, tops out at 155mph and returns 36.7mpg, while the 650i does the 0-62mph dash in 4.9 seconds, and emits just 243g/km of CO2 and returns 27.2mpg.
Both cars get an eight-speed Sports auto gearbox as standard, together with Start-Stop, electric power steering and brake energy regeneration. There are some driver aids to keep you out of a hedge fund, including brake/traction/stability control and even a brake-drying function.
A trio of optional chassis control settings, including damper control, adaptive drive and dynamic drive (Normal, Sport and Sport+), are standard fit, while the instrument dials are angled towards the driver as in BMWs of old.
You get a bewildering array of Stuff you can option: Bang & Olufsen surround sound, a head-up display, DVD changer, TV module, DAB receiver and USB interface are just some. Though we hope that unlike the convertible, you don't have to option in some excitement too.
