BMW 6 Series F12

Product Overview
BMW 6 Series F12 Convertible is an executive convertible in production from 2011 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.
Compared to the E64 that preceded it, the F12 has a more refined, albeit somewhat generic styling. It uses a range of turbocharged engines that deliver much better performance; however, the engines are also much less reliable, with the N63 being the worst V8 engine in terms of reliability from the last two decades across the industry.
Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the BMW 6 Series F12 comes with double-wishbone at the front and multi-link at the rear.
