Brakes
The 6 Series model boasts a well-rounded specification. Ventilated disc brakes front and rear provide good stopping power. Electric power steering offers a responsive and potentially more fuel-efficient driving experience. A variety of tire and wheel rim sizes are available, suggesting options for different driving styles and preferences. Standard ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) enhances safety. The steering rack and pinion setup is a common and reliable design.
