Weight & Capacity
The 6 Series boasts impressive power-to-weight and torque-to-weight ratios (7.5 kg/Hp and 5.2 kg/Nm respectively), suggesting brisk acceleration. Its relatively high kerb weight (1470 kg) is balanced by a substantial maximum load capacity (360 kg) and a generous fuel tank (70 liters). The 415-liter trunk offers practical cargo space, further enhanced by a significant permitted trailer load of 1800 kg when equipped with brakes. Overall, it presents a compelling blend of performance and practicality.
