The BMW 6 Series is available in coupe or convertible body. Both versions measuring 4.82 m long and have four seats with 2 +2 configuration, namely the rear are very small.

Since September 2007, has slight design changes, and mechanical equipment. Apart from the M6 sports version, there are three versions for sale: 630i (72,500 €), 650i (92,500 €) and 635d (79,500 €), with bodywork convertible costs € 9,500 more.

The 6 Series is not a sport in the strict sense, but a luxury car fast, secure and stable road fast. For stability, performance, comfort and noise, it seems to us a successful model for such travel by road, is a high speed or not.

Dynamically is not equivalent to a saloon, in fact, their reactions are different from those of a Series 5 . Nor is a sports quick reactions, nimble touch, uncomfortable suspension and engine noise.

Although there are four seats, the practical usefulness of the rear seats is limited because they lack height and space for the legs. Moreover, a car is very functional: maneuver very well, has a good boot, no major shortcomings in equipment and optional series has interesting elements.

The Cabrio has a hood flexible, with the interesting quality that is not attached to the Rear window, which is independent and can be downloaded as a window and climbing.

The operation of folding or deploy the hood takes 25 s and can be done until a speed of 30 km/h. The hood and crystals can be manipulated with the remote control. When folded, canopy disappears completely under a rigid deck and stored in a box inside the boot. More information about the canopy.

There are three versions of the new Series 6: two petrol (630i and 650i, with manual or automatic six gears) and diesel (635d, with only automatic change).

The 630i carries a gasoline engine six-cylinder in line, with 3.0 litre engine capacity and admission and distribution variables. It is a variant of the previous engine, but now has direct injection. It reaches a maximum power of 272 hp (14 hp more than before).

With the new engine, the benefits have improved slightly. What has improved in a manner that is outstanding gasoline consumption: manual version now consumes 12 percent less, while the version with automatic change consumption has a 19 percent lower.

The engine version of the 650i remains unchanged: a 4.8 litre V8 with cylinder capacity, indirect injection and variable distribution “Valvetronic”. It has a maximum power of 367 hp. Now, this version has a consumption and a performance slightly better .

With the automatic transmission speeds of six, the 650i coupe is a very pleasant to drive, fast and relatively inexpensive consumer products. For fast carts can go as well as a good saloon. In slow roads, has the limtaciones normal car of its size and weight.

The new diesel engine six-cylinder 286 hp system has a dual turbo series (instead of in parallel, as the 2.2 HDi Citroen and Peugeot). The BMW system is BorgWarner and premiered on the 535d (proof of this model).

The new 635d Coupé has a top speed limited to 250 mph, accelerates from 0 to 100 kph in 6.3 s and has an average consumption outstanding: only 6.9 l per 100 km.

The Cabrio has some benefits and consumption slightly worse, mainly because it weighs 210 kg more than the Coupe. This difference in weight is mainly due to the reinforcement of the chassis needed by the convertible, the hood (and devices) and security systems in case of overturning.

The shift six-speed automatic that can carry all versions (optionally in the petrol and diesel in the series) is new. It’s the same 3 Series and 5 Series, and stands out for its smooth functioning (more).

The driver can select a program that tends to keep the engine in a regime which gives more acceleration, or select the gears manually using the lever or controls on the steering wheel. Although these two resources can be useful in some circumstances, the operation of change is usually so good that makes them unnecessary.

In addition, the new 6 Series has some technical solutions to reduce consumption and CO2 emissions .

Among the items of equipment that has serial are: six airbags, air conditioning, dual-xenon headlights, automatic lights, radio with CD player, remote control acoustic parking, alloy wheels (17 “in 630i and 18 “in the rest) and tyres’ Run Flat ‘(which can shoot without air for some distance and low speed).

As the driver aids integrated into the control of stability has anti-lock brakes, cornering brake control, traction control (speaking on the brakes and the engine if there is a risk of slipping into excessive traction) control and restraint (which accelerates the engine if the retention can cause excessive slippage).

Now you can carry speed control active role braking (more) and warning of involuntary change lanes (through a vibration in the steering wheel).

You can also have night vision (comment on this device), adaptive headlights, system management functions’ iDrive ‘Bluetooth connection to mobile phone, access and keyless start, navigator with maps on DVD, TV tuner and alloy wheels up to 19 “.

Optionally available is a panoramic glass roof and information system “Head-Up Display”, which projected on the windshield of certain information navigation system, trip computer, cruise control and speedometer.

Everyone can take active steering (which modifies the relationship between turning the steering wheel and the wheels, depending on the speed) and stabilizing bars active ( “Dynamic Drive”).

The versions of the model year 2008 are distinguished from the previous bumpers, grille, headlamps, pilots and the lid of the trunk (which now leads the third brake light). In addition, there are alloy wheels with new designs.
