Weight & Capacity
The 6 Series boasts impressive power-to-weight and torque-to-weight ratios (6.7 kg/Hp and 4.7 kg/Nm respectively), suggesting strong performance. With a kerb weight of 1480kg and a maximum load capacity of 400kg, it offers a decent balance between agility and carrying capacity. The 70-liter fuel tank provides a reasonable range, and the 413-liter trunk offers practical storage space.
The 6 Series Coupe is approximately 189.57 inches (4815 mm) long.
The car has four seats.
The minimum turning circle is 11.7 meters (38.39 feet).
It has a top speed of 225 km/h (139.81 mph).
The 0-62 mph acceleration is 8.4 seconds; 0-60 mph would be slightly quicker.
It has a drag coefficient of 0.41, indicating decent aerodynamic efficiency.
Fuel consumption is relatively high in urban areas at 16.9 l/100km, which is expected for a performance-oriented vehicle.
The 6 Series is much more fuel-efficient on highways, with a consumption rate of 7.8 l/100km.
While not the most fuel-efficient car, its combined fuel consumption is acceptable for its class. Drivers prioritizing extreme fuel economy should consider other models.
It's equipped with a naturally aspirated 3.4L inline-6 cylinder engine (M30).
It produces 220hp at 5700 rpm and 315Nm of torque at 4000 rpm.
It has a 4-speed automatic transmission.
Ventilated disc brakes allow for better heat dissipation, which is crucial for sustained performance during hard braking, especially in high-speed driving or aggressive driving conditions.
The tire size indicates the width, aspect ratio, construction type (VR for radial), and diameter of the tire. This size is commonly found on cars that prioritize a balance of handling and comfort.
This steering type is a mechanical system that provides a direct connection between the steering wheel and the wheels. It typically offers a more precise and responsive feel compared to other types of steering systems.
This depends on the specific model year and trim level. Generally, expect a range of powerful inline-6 and V8 engines, potentially with hybrid or plug-in hybrid options.
Pricing varies significantly based on the specific model, trim, and condition. Expect a premium price point compared to more mainstream models.
Expect features like advanced infotainment systems, premium leather interiors, and sophisticated driver-assistance technologies.
Fuel efficiency isn't in the specs, but given the performance figures, it's likely to be moderate rather than exceptional.
Towing capacity isn't specified in these details. Consult the owner's manual for precise towing information.
The data doesn't include acceleration figures. This would need to be sourced from independent testing or reviews.
