Weight & Capacity
The 6 Series boasts impressive power-to-weight and torque-to-weight ratios (7.1 kg/Hp and 4.9 kg/Nm respectively), suggesting brisk acceleration. Its relatively light kerb weight (1495 kg) contributes to this performance. The fuel tank capacity of 70 liters provides decent range, and the 413-liter trunk offers practical cargo space. The maximum load capacity of 400kg is suitable for everyday use and light hauling.
The 6 Series has a 4-speed automatic transmission.
While it has four seats, the rear seats are best suited for shorter journeys or smaller passengers due to the coupe's sloping roofline.
Fuel efficiency varies depending on the specific engine and year of the 6 Series. It's best to consult the specifications for the exact model year you are interested in.
Yes, its relatively small size and 11.7-meter turning circle make it fairly easy to maneuver, even in tight city spaces.
Approximately 9 seconds.
136.7 mph.
A drag coefficient of 0.41 suggests good aerodynamic efficiency, meaning the car experiences less air resistance while driving.
No, it's not particularly fuel-efficient, especially in city driving. Its fuel consumption is higher than many comparable models.
The combined fuel consumption is 11.9 liters per 100 kilometers.
Fuel efficiency is significantly better on extra-urban roads (8 l/100km) compared to city driving (17.5 l/100km).
The 6 Series has a naturally aspirated, inline 6-cylinder internal combustion engine.
The car produces 211 horsepower at 5700 RPM and 305 Nm of torque at 4000 RPM.
It features ventilated disc brakes in the front and disc brakes in the rear.
Cone worm steering offers direct feedback and precise control, but may require more effort than power-assisted systems.
The tire size (220/55 VR 390) doesn't specify the tire type. Further information is needed to determine all-weather suitability.
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 413-liter trunk is reasonably sized for everyday needs, but larger families might find it limiting for longer trips. Consider the specific needs of your family.
