Fuel Consumption
The 6 Series is a petrol-powered vehicle with relatively high fuel consumption in urban settings (16.5 l/100km) but significantly better efficiency on extra-urban drives (7.8 l/100km). The combined fuel consumption sits at 11.3 l/100km, indicating a car likely prioritizing performance over extreme fuel economy. This suggests a powerful engine but potentially higher running costs compared to more fuel-efficient models.

Brakes
This 6 Series model features a fairly standard braking system with ventilated discs in the front and solid discs at the rear. The 195/70 R14 tires mounted on 6.5J x 14 rims suggest a smaller, potentially older model designed for comfort rather than high performance. The cone worm steering, while functional, is a less common and generally less responsive system than more modern rack and pinion setups.
