BMW 6 Series Coupe
Wed, 23 Mar 2011Following on from the recently launched cabriolet variant, BMW has revealed the all-new, technologically advanced 2+2 seat 6 Series coupe.
Now in its third generation, the 6 Series features a new interpretation of the traditional BMW coupe proportions: low and wide with a long hood and a long wheelbase. Measuring in at 4894mm long and 1894mm wide, the new car is 75mm longer and 39mm wider than its predecessor, but sits 5mm lower to the ground (at 1369mm tall). BMW claims the exterior surfacing was inspired by flowing waves.
As with its predecessor, the interior's asymmetrical layout continues to place an emphasis on the driver. The driver-oriented center stack and console are complemented by taut waistline surfaces, which are carried forward into the IP. Technological advancements include black-panel technology, a freestanding Control Display and a high resolution 10.2-inch flatscreen display in hi-spec models.
