With the new 6 Coupé BMW in a fascinating synthesis from sportyness and comfort continues not only the tradition of the legendary first 6-series (1976 to 1989), but also the long history of large luxury coupes.

The passenger space is far back set and possesses a very low roof line, outlined style elements at the front side panels loosens up its silhouette. Also in the interior the modern stylistic idiom of the exterior continues. As it was the case with the new 7- and 5-series the iDrive system has been fitted, all comfort functions can be reached and served also from the passenger seat comfortably.

The maximum speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h. This cultivated strength can be transferred depending upon customer's request over three different six-speed transmissions to the rear drive axle: - over a six-speed manual transmission, - over a six-speed mechanism with Steptronic or - over a Sequential Manual Transmission (SMG) with shift lever or with paddles at the steering wheel. Also the new6-series Coupé has naturally drive dynamic control (FDC), as well as speed-sensitive steering mechanism.

The body is constructed from a aluminum, steel and plastic which reduces weight. The chassis is made from aluminum. Of course the outstanding full aluminum chassis of the new 6-series Coupés is supplemented around all relevant electronic monitoring systems like dynamic stability control (DSC) including Dynamic Traction Control (DTC). Optionally the adaptive headlight system is also available.

When desired Head-up display and glass panorama roof are available. Exclusive to the market of the large Coupés is the head-up display, which is available for the new 6-series BMW. All the relevant information is projected on the windshield. Other options include the active speed control and a new electrically adjustable glass panorama roof.
