BMW 6 series face lift


The V8 powered BMW 650i Coupé does the 0-100 km/h dash in 5.1 seconds while the convertible is a tad slower at 5.5 seconds. Of course, being BMW engines, fuel efficiency is not compromised. 11.9 litres/100 kilometres for the Coupé and 12.9 litres for the Convertible.

All 6 series variants apart from the 650i which comes with 18-inch wheels, are fitted as standard with BMW’s runflat tyres allowing the driver to drive to a tyre shop even after a complete loss of tyre pressure.

The 6-series also comes with Tyre Defect Indicator, which permanently monitors air pressure, and warns the driver if tyre pressure drops below the ideal level by more than 30 per cent. The 6-series comes equipped with BMW’s Stop & Go cruise control system allowing owners to maintain a set distance between the car in front.
