A vehicle concept unparalleled in
the premium segment, combining the dynamics of a 2+2-seater
sports car with outstanding touring comfort; body length and
wheelbase 75 millimetres longer than its predecessor for
enhanced seating comfort of rear passengers; emphasised sporty
appearance due to a 39-millimetre increase in vehicle width and
a 5-millimetre reduction in height.
Market introduction will take
place with three engine variants: BMW 650i Coupe with
eight-cylinder power unit (300 kW/407 hp), BMW 640i Coupe with a
six-cylinder in-line petrol engine (235 kW/320 hp), BMW 640d
Coupe with a six-cylinder in-line diesel engine (230 kW/313 hp).
All engine variants are combined
with an eight-speed Sport automatic transmission as standard
equipment. BMW EfficientDynamics measures that have no peer in
the segment (including Auto Start-Stop function and ECO PRO mode
for the BMW 640i Coupe and BMW 640d Coupe). Optimised efficiency
is combined with a significant 30 kW, 35 kW and 20 kW power
increase over predecessor models (BMW 650i, BMW 640i and BMW
640d, respectively).
The BMW xDrive premieres in the
BMW 6 Series: BMW 650i xDrive Coupe with optimised traction
characteristics and outstanding sporty handling thanks to
intelligent all-wheel drive. It's the only car in the segment
available with Electric Power Steering and optional Integral
Active Steering. Driving Experience Control comes as standard
equipment, Dynamic Damper Control and Adaptive Drive are
optional. It is the first car in the segment with Adaptive LED
Headlights for low and high beam, including cornering function,
fog lamps and rear lights also implemented with LED technology.
