BMW 6-Series Coupe - Passion for aesthetics and dynamics

BMW Asia has just launched the much anticipated third generation 6 Series Coupe that’s bound to capture hearts. With an eye for beauty and a thirst for luxury and innovative technology, the car sees BMW adding another chapter to its decades-long tradition in the production of exclusive dream cars.

Held at Capella Singapore to match the exclusivity and luxurious feel of the car, BMW excelled in hosting what could be the most exciting car launch this year. With the 6 Series Cabriolet inching its way to leading its class segment, the coupe may just as well be a successful turn out.

The Shell

Its unmistakable design language gives the new 6 Series Coupe an aura of athletic elegance. The sweeping bonnet, a short front overhand and set-back passenger compartment team up with a 74-millimetre increase in body length that realises 4,894mm and a 75-millimetre longer wheelbase to reach 2,855 mm to create the excellent proportions of a BMW Coupe. Meanwhile, the extra width of the new car which sees to a final figure of 1,894 mm, thanks to its increased track width, makes for an exceptionally powerful stance that emphasises its impressive road holding.

All of which ensures that observers are struck by the car’s dynamic forward-surging presence and promise of majestic driving ability the moment they set eyes on it. Inspired the natural movement of waves, the faithful reflection of the car’s character in its exterior styling exudes an appeal for attractive by the lines running along the full length of the body and its harmoniously curve surfaces. In the same way as water is parted by an object in flowing water, the car body’s shaping lines fan out from the BMW badge on the bonnet to both sides of the body.

The Inside

In its cabin, the new BMW 6 Series Coupe impresses with its noticeably optimised comfort levels and extra space. This is the only car in the segment to offer the combination of a top-class sporting ability, exclusive touring comfort and a 460 litre luggage space. Additionally, the car delivers its signature driving experience with a range of innovative driver assistance systems and BMW ConnectedDrive infotainment features. The new car therefore meets the highest – not to mention the broadest – expectations of driving pleasure in a large, premium 2+2 seater in incomparable style.

Furthermore, included as standard in the BMW 6 Series Coupe as an operating portal for navigation, communications and infotainment functions is BMW’s signature iDrive control system. Its Control Display comes in the form of a fixed, freestanding flatscreen, which adds an extra exclusive flourish to the generously sized and luxurious interior, making its cabin one of the most functional yet luxurious place to be in.

Under the hood

BMW TwinPower Turbo technology with petrol direct injection provides both sporty power development and exceptional efficiency in the engines available for the new BMW 6 Series Coupe. In the new BMW 650i Coupe, a V8 powerplant with turbochargers positioned between the cylinder banks develops maximum output of 407 bhp.

An exclusive feature of the 320 hp six-cylinder in-line engine in the new BMW 640i Coupe, on the other hand, is the addition of VALVETRONIC variable valve control. Both units are hooked up to an eight-speed Sports automatic gearbox as standard. Also part of the standard specification is an extensive range of BMW EfficientDynamics technology, including the Auto Start-Stop function and ECO PRO mode.
