Engine & Transmission
This 6 Series model boasts a naturally aspirated 3.45L inline-6 M88 engine, delivering 260hp and 330Nm of torque. Its rear-wheel-drive configuration, coupled with a 5-speed manual transmission, offers a classic driving experience. The independent suspension (McPherson strut front, coil spring rear) promises a balanced ride. While the power-to-liter ratio is impressive, fuel efficiency might not be its strongest suit given the engine technology and lack of modern fuel-saving features.

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 modern rack-and-pinion setups.
