Product Overview

BMW 6 Series F06 Gran Coupe is a hunchback executive sedan in production from 2012 to 2015, whereupon it received a facelift. It was available with a range of inline-6 and V8 engines that displaced 3.0 to 4.4 liters.
Based on the F10 5 Series, the F06 Gran Coupe is sleeker in styling but less practical. It is heavier and presumably more "luxurious" (even though the interior space is tighter and less comfort for the rear passengers), and one certainly needs to pay more for the privilege.
Unfortunately, the N63 and N57 engines, the most troublesome petrol and diesel engine respectively in recent BMW history, are found in most of the models. Only the 640i has a not-so-unreliable N55, which is still one of the least dependable 6-cylinder engines in the automotive industry.
BMW has made a good effort in aerodynamics, with a decent 0.28 coefficient of drag to show for it.
Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe comes with double-wishbone at the front and multi-link at the rear. Combined with RWD, this setup provides one of the best handling characteristics and tuning capabilities.
