Overview
The 2016 BMW 6 Series Coupe is a midsize coupe offered in 2 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $77,300. For that price, it mainly competes only with the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe. Despite belonging to the compact coupe segment, the Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe and the Jaguar F-Type are the two cars that come close to the 6 series in terms of performance. Between 2 trims, the 6 Series coupe offers 2 powertrains. The base engine is a 3.0L turbocharged Inline-6 engine 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 twin-turbocharged V8 engine. Both engines are mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. The 6 Series reaches 60 mph from zero in 5.3 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 4.2 seconds with the 4.4L Twin-Turbo V8 engine. Depending on the powertrain, the 6 Series can manage a combined fuel economy between 19 and 24 mpg. While we're on the topic of choices, the 17 striking colors the 6 Series comes in really pull you towards itself.Â
