BMW 6 Series enjoys a special place in the global auto industry and is all set to enter the third generation. The 6 Series is considered as the luxury carmaker’s flagship GT platform and product line that has undergone immense experiments and modifications. The scope that the series has carved, for carrying out the experiments, trickles-down to the former design chief Chris Bangle's distinguished exteriors.
The 2012 BMW 6 Series is all geared up with fresh designs in store. The two models under the 2012 BMW 6 Series are the BMW 650i Sports Coupe and the BMW 650i Convertible. The features to watch out for in the redesigned models include appealing and stylish looks, along with a new refreshing win-turbo V8. It is pertinent to note that the new win-turbo V8 helps in making more low-end thrust.
With the win-turbo V8 in place, the chassis need to be more stable to cope with the change. Differing from the size of the previous 6 Series engine, the current one is slightly compact. The twin-turbo 4.4-litre engine results in more horsepower and nearly 135 Nm increase in the low-end torque. A not so good fact regarding torque of the previous 6 Series engine was that it could not match up with the other powerful features it boasted. Besides, the models will boast bigger size of the wheels that are believed to be 50 per cent resistant than its previous version. The last model of BMW 6 Series was M6, which is equipped with a V10 engine.
The interiors of BMW 650i are a treat to watch. It comprises a skillfully shaped cabin with a dashboard fitted with features that take care of varied needs of the driver, which was lacking in the old model. The latest version is affixed with the new 10.2-inch navigation display. Luxurious and advanced changes are being brought in to the instruments, handling, control and overall design. This transformation is evident of the fact that BMW spent a lot more time in developing the interiors than it took for the previous model. As far as the convertible is concerned, it continues to feature the creative rear window which allows the breeze come in while keeping the sunlight at bay.
The overall perspective regarding the Series is that the 2012 BMW 6 Series will create an altogether different genre of cars. The journey of the new 6 Series would be interesting to watch, with creations like the Coupe and Convertible accompanying it. At present, only the 650i model is being offered, but a six-cylinder model and high-performance M6 version are likely to be introduced in the near future. Furthermore, the possibility of a four-door 6 Series cannot be turned down.
With innovative style and strength, the new BMW 650i is holding all the aces for now. 650i is expected to become one of the most impressive cars of BMW AG, a brand which has committed itself to latest technologies and has always come out with stylish and improved models.
