EDITORS' RATINGS OVERALL SCORE:
Overall
| Excellent driving dynamics are coupled with a comfortable, sporty interior and top-notch build quality. If the exterior styling agrees with you, the BMW 6 Series is a contender. |
DETAILED EDITORS' RATINGS
Dynamics
| Handling and steering are precise. The V8 engine provides more than adequate thrust. And it can be paired with a manual. |
Comfort
| The seats are comfortable and can be adjusted to fit a wide range of drivers. The 6 Series, while firm, rides smoother than expected. |
Function
| Most of the primary controls are logically placed and easy to use. iDrive, however, takes time to learn and isn't well suited for driver use when underway. The automatic or true manual gearboxes available here are much easier to live with than the DSG transmission found in the M6. |
Design/Build Quality
| Segment-leading build quality. Polarizing exterior styling. |
Image Enhancer
| Coupe and convertible available in the BMW 6 Series' line-up. |
High Performer
| Powerful, fun to drive. |
Luxurious
| Sporty, yet comfortable interior. |
