BMW brand
[1]BMW 6Series Coupé continues the tradition of
the luxury sports Coupés.Low-slung, long and wide,
the new BMW 6 Series Coupé is a harmonious
blend of stretched, classic proportions, flowing lines
and elegant surfaces. The BMW 645Ci offers exclu-
sive fittings, a striking design and, above all, dynamic
performance and great motoring comfort.
The body’s low weight and exceptional stiffness
contribute to the outstanding motoring comfort,
dynamic performance and agility of the
BMW
6Series
Coupé. The luxury Coupé weighs only 1,690 kg
thanks to an innovative combination of aluminium,
steel and synthetic materials for the body.
The 4.4-litre 8-cylinder power unit develops
245 kW/333 bhp for sporty, dynamic performance
and enables the Coupé to achieve a top speed of
250 km/h (electronically limited).The 6 Series Coupé
takes only 5.6 seconds to accelerate from 0 to
100 km/h.
The all-aluminium chassis is equipped with
electronic control systems such as Dynamic Stability
Control (DSC), Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) and,
as an option, the intelligent Dynamic Drive suspen-
sion system, which almost completely eliminates
body roll.
The car’s interior is also replete with high tech.
For example, the 6 Series can be fitted, as an option,
with BMW’s Head-Up Display (projection of im-
portant driving information onto the windscreen).

BMW
6Series Cabrio – powerful open-air pleasure.
The 6 Series Convertible with its striking elegant
lines is a real eye-catcher thanks to its innovative
soft top with a wide C-pillar. The glass rear window
is vertical and heatable, and can be retracted electri-
cally into the luggage area whether the roof is open
or closed.
The top can even be opened and closed when
driving off or in stop-and-go traffic at speeds of
up to 30 km/h. The sound- and heat-insulating top
dampens exterior noise just as effectively as it
durably keeps out wind and weather. Of course the
6 Series Cabrio meets the highest safety require-
ments, including automatic roll-over protection,
regardless of whether the top is open or closed.
