At the automobile show in Detroit in January 2013, the debut of the four-door BMW 6-Series coupe in the Gran Coupe solution in the "charged" M-performance took place. Two years later, at the same location, the Bavarian manufacturer presented an updated version of the model, which was separated by minor changes in the exterior and interior.
And in the "civil" incarnation, the "six" in the back of the Gran Coupe looks cool, but the four-door M6 looks even more spectacular, which is facilitated by a more developed body kit, expressed by aggressive bumpers and side "skirts", a quartet of "graduation" orchestra and wheel arches, almost entirely filled with beautiful large-radius discs.
The length of the BMW M6 Gran Coupe is 5011 mm, while the width and height are respectively 1899 mm and 1393 mm. Of the total length of the vehicle, 2,964 mm falls on the distance between the front and rear axles, and the ground clearance does not exceed 107 mm.
The interior of the M-sedan of the 6th series is of a higher quality and almost exactly repeats that of the "civilian" counterpart, but differs in some touches - a sports steering wheel, seats of a different configuration and a greater amount of leather, metal and carbon fiber in the design.
The front seats are not the most sporty in appearance, but they have a tenacious profile and a huge number of different adjustments. The rear sofa is shaped for two passengers, and the third can only sit down when absolutely necessary.
There is enough space, but for tall riders the sloping roof will press on the tops. For daily needs in the arsenal of the BMW M6 Gran Coupe - a 460-liter luggage compartment, it's a pity, there is not even a "stowaway" under the raised floor.
Specifications. The Bavarian "stallion" is driven by a 4.4-liter V-shaped "eight" S64B44 with two turbochargers and direct gasoline supply, generating 560 "horses" of power at 6000-7000 rpm and 680 Nm of maximum torque available in the range from 1500 to 5750 rpm. All traction through the 7-band "robot" M-DCT with two clutches falls on the rear axle, which is equipped with a differential lock with a multi-plate clutch. The results of this combination are as follows: 4.2 seconds "shot" from 0 to 100 km / h, 250 km / h peak speed (optional - 305 km / h), fuel consumption at the level of 9.9 liters.
The "charged" sedan is built on the basis of the usual "six" Gran Coupe, but in some technical aspects it has differences: variable power steering, electronically controlled shock absorbers and perforated brake discs.
Options and prices. For the 2015 BMW M6 Gran Coupe, Russians will have to pay a minimum of 8,340,000 rubles, and by default such a car “flaunts” LED headlights and lanterns, a scattering of airbags throughout the cabin, a “climate” with two coverage zones, premium “music”, a leather interior and various M-gadgets.
