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 205/70 VR14 tires are smaller than modern standards, suggesting this is likely an older model. The inclusion of ABS is a positive safety feature. The cone worm steering, while functional, is an older technology compared to modern rack and pinion systems. Overall, the specifications point towards a car that prioritizes affordability and basic functionality over advanced technology and performance.

Weight & Capacity
The 6 Series boasts impressive power-to-weight and torque-to-weight ratios (7.8 kg/Hp and 6 kg/Nm respectively), suggesting brisk acceleration. Its relatively light kerb weight (1430 kg) contributes to this performance. With a 415-liter trunk, it offers decent cargo space. The fuel tank capacity of 70 liters provides a reasonable range. The maximum load capacity of 420 kg is suitable for everyday use and light hauling.
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.
It has a top speed of 204 km/h (126.76 mph).
The 0-62 mph acceleration is 10.9 seconds; 0-60 mph would be slightly quicker.
It has a drag coefficient of 0.41, indicating decent aerodynamic efficiency.
City fuel consumption is 14.4 l/100km, which is relatively higher compared to highway driving.
Highway fuel consumption is significantly better at 6.8 l/100km, indicating good fuel economy during long drives.
The combined fuel consumption is 10 l/100km, representing a good balance between city and highway driving.
This car has a naturally aspirated, inline 6-cylinder internal combustion engine.
The car has a 4-speed automatic transmission.
The engine oil capacity is 5.8 liters (6.13 US quarts / 5.1 UK quarts).
While ABS is a safety plus, the braking system is relatively basic compared to modern vehicles. Performance will be adequate for normal driving but may lack the stopping power and responsiveness of newer cars with larger brakes and more advanced systems.
Cone worm steering is an older technology. While functional, it generally offers less precise handling and feedback compared to modern rack and pinion systems.
The 205/70 VR14 tires are smaller than what's common in modern cars. This might affect ride comfort, handling, and fuel efficiency.
The 6 Series has historically offered a range of powerful inline-6 and V8 engines, often with options for rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.
Yes, its comfortable interior, refined ride, and available advanced driver-assistance systems make it well-suited for long journeys.
Fuel economy varies depending on the engine and drivetrain, but generally, it's expected to be in line with other luxury grand tourers – not exceptionally high, but reasonable for its performance.
Fuel efficiency isn't in the specs, but the power-to-weight ratio suggests it could be relatively good, depending on driving style and engine type.
The specs don't list towing capacity. Consult the owner's manual for this information.
The 415-liter trunk is adequate for many families, but larger families or those with significant luggage might find it limiting. Consider your specific needs.
