automotique . After having launched the web version in the UK than in March, BMW now presents the new BMW 6 Series Coupé. The closed-roof two-door, is considered the last great tour of the company: a car with comfort, luxury, spaciousness, efficiency and technology that is unmatched in its class.
But if this version of the 6 series to really get to be a car of substance significantly higher than the previous one, will probably not be in part due to its small engine, and the arrival of the 640D gives us our first opportunity to put last BMW 3.0-liter twin-turbo diesel in road test our microscope. Given this record carmaker amazing track in the production of diesel engines of reference, equally miraculous performance and efficiency are definitely on the menu.
BMW Brand management is perhaps the most concerned. The more powerful 650i convertible tested earlier this year exuded competence, but lacked precision, participation and reward the driver. As for the 640D is to show that M-Sport specifications and a fixed roof may sharpen the character of the 6 series
BMW aimed for a more elegant, athletic look with the third-generation 6-series, with some success. The long bonnet profile, wide-hipped stance and taut surfaces of the new car make it more appealing, to these eyes, than the rather amorphous car it replaces.Sizable proportions help. At almost 4.9m long, it has grown 74mm.
The car’s underbody construction is a unitary body in white made of steels of various strengths, with aluminium used for the front suspension turrets. On top of that, the 6-series has a more innovative outer skin designed to boost rigidity and save weight. Aluminium doors and bonnet border plastic front wings, while the bootlid is made of a glassfibre-reinforced plastic composite. Despite the variety of materials used, the car’s paint finish is uniformly good and its panel fit consistent.
Like the 7-series and 5-series saloons, the 6-series is suspended via double wishbones at the front and BMW’s multi-link-style ‘integral’ rear axle. As standard fit, all versions have fixed-rate dampers, conventional anti-roll bars and electro-mechanical power steering with Servotronic speed-dependent assistance.
Adaptive dampers and anti-roll bars come as part of BMW’s Adaptive Drive options package. Our test car had them, adding reach to the car’s Performance Dynamic Control selector – which, in the 6-series, has a new Comfort+ setting to match Comfort, Sport, Sport+ and Eco Pro.
The car’s 309bhp six-cylinder twin-turbocharged diesel engine is probably the technical high point (see Under the skin, p67). But amid options such as surround-view cameras, a night vision system, a head-up display and what’s described as the most advanced hi-fi audio system yet offered on a BMW are adaptive LED headlights with a cornering function. They light the road to the left and right of the dead-ahead dependent not only on speed and steering angle but also vehicle yaw rate. Trust Munich to come up with headlights capable of compensating for unexpected night-time oversteer.
