Overview

The 2010 BMW 6 Series Coupe makes for an excellent contender in the midsize grand tourer segment. With 1 trim on offer, the BMW 6 Series Coupe has a base MSRP of $78,450, competing directly with the 2010 Porsche 911, the Mercedes-Benz CL-Class Coupe, and the 2010 Jaguar XK coupe. Only a 4.8L V8 DOHC 32-valve engine is offered, mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. Together, they produce 360 horsepower and 360 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 5.4 seconds, the 6 Series Coupe maintains a combined fuel economy of 18 MPG. BMW offers the 6 Series Coupe in 16 stunning colors, with the Space Gray Metallic being a particular favorite of ours. Currently, with around 67 6 Series Coupes available for sale, you could get an average price of $15,117. However, one can generally expect a savings of $604 at an average, making this a perfect time to browse for a 2010 BMW 6 Series Coupe.

Buying Advice

Coming with a luxurious interior, coupled with a punchy engine, and exceptional handling capabilities, the 2010 BMW 6 Series Coupe is one of the most exciting machines out there. Compared to the rivals, the 6 Series Coupe provides a better pull, but when comes to head-to-head competition with the MB CL-Class, then definitely the latter is the clear winner. However, there are some limitations too which are already been stated in the above chapter. The pros of the 6-Series coupe outweigh the cons unless any of the same is bothering you. Considering all the offerings at this price range, the 2010 BMW X6 Coupe is definitely a great buy.
