The
2010 BMW 6 Series is a luxury line of coupes that are also offered as convertibles. Propelled by a 4.8-liter V-8 or a 5.0-liter V-10 engine, the BMW 6 Series comes with a standard transmission that is a six-speed automatic with manual shift control, while a six-speed manual transmission is optional.
The BMW 6 Series is a novel, fresh, and exhilarating vehicle with a remarkable, breathtaking interior design. While the 6 Series has a large body, the interior cabin is tight, legroom is compromised in the backseat area, and the trunk space is minimal. Known for its safety features, BMW does not slight the 6 Series; however, fuel economy ratings are in 15 mpg city / 23 mpg highway range.
New for 2010
For 2010 the BMW 6 Series received BMW's iDrive software and a hard-drive-based navigation system with 13 gigabytes of multimedia storage. Automatic transmission is now standard and the six-speed manual transmission is an option.
