A sweeping bonnet, set-back
passenger compartment, long wheelbase and flat waistline embody
the hallmark proportions of a BMW convertible. The new BMW 6
Series Convertible combines these features with a classic
softtop roof in customary “fin” design. Powerfully contoured
surfaces and the surging dynamism of its lines promise assured
driving properties.

The luxurious ambience of the
interior is highlighted by the driver-oriented cockpit
set-up and wraps the front passenger and rear passengers
in a feeling of exclusive security. |
Nowhere is the high-class functionality
of the interior underlined more prominently than in the
redesigned freestanding Control Display of the standard-fitted iDrive control system.
The new BMW 6 Series Convertible
is available with two engine variants from launch. The
eight-cylinder powerplant in the BMW 650i Convertible produces
300 kW/407 hp, while an exclusive variant of the six-cylinder
in-line engine with BMW TwinPower Turbo, direct injection and
VALVETRONIC – generating 235 kW/320 hp – has been developed for
the BMW 640i Convertible. Both engines team up as standard with
an eightspeed Sports automatic gearbox. Standard-fitted BMW
EfficientDynamics features include the Auto Start-Stop function
in the BMW 640i Convertible.
The new BMW 6 Series Convertible
also underlines its progressive character with numerous BMW
ConnectedDrive features that none of its rivals can match. The
selection of optional driver assistance systems includes a
rearview camera, Surround View, BMW Night Vision with pedestrian
recognition and BMW Parking Assistant. The new BMW 6 Series
Convertible is the only car in its segment to be available with
a Head-Up Display. Making its debut in the new soft top, the
latest generation of the system uses a broader palette of
colours to create an even more detailed and sharper image.
Prices start at 83.300 Euro for
the BMW 640i and at 94.300 Euro (incl. 19% VAT).
