Overview

The 2015 BMW 6 Series Coupe is a midsize luxury Coupe offered in 2 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $76,100. For that price, it mainly competes with the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe and the Cadillac CTS Coupe. Between 2 trims, the BMW 6 Series Coupe offers 2 powertrains. The base engine is a 3.0L turbocharged inline-6 capable of making 315 horsepower and 330 lb-ft of torque. If more power is required, there is also a 445 horsepower-making 4.4L turbocharged V8 engine. Both engines are mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. The BMW 6 Series Coupe reaches 60 mph from zero in 5.3 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 4.2 seconds with the V8 engine. Depending on the powertrain, the BMW 6 Series Coupe can manage a combined fuel economy between 19 and 25 mpg. While we're on the topic of choices, the 17 striking colors the BMW 6 Series Coupe comes in really pull you towards itself.
