Fuel Consumption
The 6 Series petrol model boasts impressive performance but comes at the cost of high fuel consumption. Its combined fuel economy of 11.7 l/100km (20.1 US mpg) indicates relatively low efficiency for a modern vehicle, particularly considering its Euro 4 emission standard. The high CO2 emissions of 283 g/km reflect this inefficiency and may result in higher running costs. While the extra-urban fuel consumption is better, the urban consumption is significantly higher.
