True passions run deeper.
Athletic, expressive and elegant: the BMW 6 Series Coupe'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 coupe- 4.80 meters in length, 1.90 meters in breadth, 1.40 meters in height and full of power.

Excellent ergonomics.
In 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 Coupe has the ability to effortlessly fulfill every expectation. It switches smoothly from sporty to relaxed driving and translates each movement of the steering wheel precisely to the road.

Driving enjoyment in beats per minute.
A car's speed is generally expressed in terms of how many miles or kilometres it can cover per hour. And yet these measurements say little about how a car feels on the road. They cannot convey the joy brought by a V8 engine responding instantly to the throttle, or the pleasure of looking out over a long, sweeping bonnet. Nor can they express the satisfaction of seeing the countryside flash rapidly by, or the feeling of abandoning yourself to the open road. Because when it comes to measuring driving pleasure, the only true guide is the beat of your heart.

Low weight, high performance.
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.

The luxury of independence.
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.
