Overview

The BMW 6-Series blends cutting-edge looks with subtle sophistication. It’s everything you want from a grand tourer, with powerful engines, lane-clearing road presence and the talent to take on twisty roads when you need to. Inside it’s supremely comfortable, with big leather seats, a great driving position and plenty of room up front. This is inter-continental cruising at its most opulent and the 6-Series is a car that’s unsurprisingly in demand while the availability of a diesel engine means owning one needn’t break the bank.
