Body & Dimensions
The BMW 6 Series Coupe is a stylish and sporty 2-door coupe offering seating for four. Its relatively compact dimensions (4755mm length, 1725mm width, 1365mm height) provide agile handling, enhanced by a 2626mm wheelbase and a tight 11.2m turning circle. While compact, the interior dimensions suggest comfortable seating for four adults, though rear passengers might find legroom slightly limited given the coupe body style.

Engine & Transmission
This 6 Series model boasts a classic naturally aspirated 2986cc inline-6 M30B30 engine, producing 185hp and 255Nm of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 4-speed manual transmission. The car features a comfortable ride with independent front (McPherson strut) and rear coil spring suspension. Noteworthy is its use of a carburetor for fuel injection, a technology less common in later models. The engine's specifications point to a car built for smooth, powerful driving, though fuel efficiency might be lower compared to modern engines.

Brakes
This 6 Series model features a relatively basic braking system with ventilated discs in the front and solid discs at the rear. The 14-inch wheels with 195/70 R14 tires suggest a smaller, potentially older model designed for fuel efficiency rather than high-performance handling. The worm-reduction steering unit provides a more traditional, less responsive feel compared to modern rack-and-pinion systems.

Weight & Capacity
The 6 Series boasts a relatively low weight-to-power ratio of 7.8 kg/Hp (127.6 Hp/tonne), suggesting good acceleration and responsiveness. The weight-to-torque ratio of 5.7 kg/Nm (175.9 Nm/tonne) indicates a strong pulling power. With a kerb weight of 1450 kg and a maximum load capacity of 380 kg, the car can comfortably accommodate passengers and cargo. The 70-liter fuel tank provides a decent range, and the 415-liter trunk space offers ample cargo capacity.
It has ventilated disc brakes in the front and solid disc brakes in the rear.
The car has 14-inch wheel rims with 195/70 R14 tires.
Fuel efficiency varies depending on the engine and driving style. Consult the official BMW specifications for precise figures.
Cargo space is limited due to the coupe body style. Exact figures should be checked in the official specifications.
While it seats four, the 6 Series Coupe is more suited for couples or individuals who prioritize style and performance over ample passenger or cargo space. Rear passenger space may be tight for adults on longer journeys.
The 6 Series accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 8.9 seconds and has a top speed of 210 km/h (130.49 mph).
The drag coefficient is 0.41, indicating a relatively aerodynamic design.
Yes, the 8.9-second 0-100 km/h acceleration and high top speed suggest a good performance car.
The combined fuel consumption is approximately 11.4 liters per 100 kilometers.
The equivalent MPG is around 20.63 US mpg and 24.78 UK mpg.
While not exceptionally fuel-efficient, the 6 Series offers a reasonable balance between performance and fuel economy.
