2007 BMW 6 SERIES: A Coupe and Convertible in the Traditional BMW Mold: Performance, Luxury and Elegance in Equal Measure
Introduced in 2004, this Series of premium luxury-performance automobiles revived the essential attributes of its illustrious 1976-89 predecessor:
• Sporting, yet luxurious accommodations in the 2+2 format, with generous front seating space and 'occasional' rear seats
• Sporty and elegant exterior design
• Strong, refined performance
• An extra measure of sporty driving pleasure, even in the BMW context
• Extensive standard equipment, encompassing outstanding luxury and convenience features.
Yet the current 6 Series goes well beyond that worthy ancestor, incorporating a muscular V-8 engine, some of BMW's most advanced chassis technology, luxury and safety features that were unheard-of in the Eighties, and the availability of a Convertible as well as a Coupe.
For 2007, the two 6 Series models are the 650i Coupe, at $74,595 including destination charge; and the 650i Convertible at $81,595. (Gas Guzzler taxes apply to some versions.) Each is powered by the same 4.8-liter, 360-hp Valvetronic V-8 found in the ‘07 750i/Li and 550i models, backed by one of three 6-speed transmissions: conventional manual, STEPTRONIC automatic or Sequential Manual Gearbox.
After some significant powertrain improvements last year—including the new 360-hp 4.8-liter V-8—changes for '07 are relatively few. The most striking is the addition of a new interior option, Pearl leather. This new treatment includes a softer, more supple quality to the upholstery, complemented by a distinctive stitching. Available in either Black or Cream Beige, the option also adds special black Nasca leather to the sun blinds and center console.
In addition, a new auxiliary input for an iPod or MP3 player is now standard. Stand-alone options now include HD radio and the Logic7 Sound System. This last was part of the Premium Sound Package last year, which also included a 6-disc CD changer. The Premium Sound Package has been deleted, to provide 6 Series owners with the flexibility to install the BMW accessory CD changer or the new accessory Interface for iPod, based on their personal preference and listening habits.
A new feature, Real Time Traffic Information, is now standard on 6 Series models. (Real Time Traffic Information is deleted if the HD Radio option is ordered.) Finally, as with all 2007 BMW models, the BMW Assist Safety Plan includes a 4 year membership instead of the previous 1 year.
The 6 Series' character
Since '6' falls between '5' and '7,' it will not surprise that this sport Series has some relation to the 5 and 7 Series. Yet it is anything but a mere re-bodying of either of these sedans. For a perspective on how the '6' fits into the upper end of the BMW line, consider the following:
• Compared to the 5 Series, the 6 rides on a wheelbase 4.3 in. shorter, yet is almost as long thanks to the 6's long-hood, cabin-back proportions. Compared to the 750i, the 6 Series wheelbase is 8.3 in. shorter, reflecting the contrast between the 7's large, commodious sedan format and the 6's more intimate, sporting Coupe/Convertible character.
• A notably wide rear track and low height visually express the 6 Series' sporty handling attributes.
• No sheet metal is shared with either the 5 or 7 Series.
• BMW's most extensive use of weight-saving body materials in regular-production models results in impressive weight efficiency.
• Though all three Series use the Valvetronic V-8 engine, the 650i Coupe achieves the best acceleration because it is the lightest of the V-8 models.
Like the 550i but not the 7 Series, both 650i models are available with all three BMW transmission types: manual, STEPTRONIC automatic and Sequential Manual Gearbox (SMG). All are 6-speeds.
• Whereas the 5 and 7 Series Sedans are full 5-seaters, the 650i models are 2+2s, with generous front seating space and intimate, yet inviting 'occasional' rear seating.
• Thanks in part to standard run-flat tires, the 650i Coupe provides almost as much trunk space as the 550i Sedan; the Convertible trunk, with its variable softtop storage compartment, is also relatively spacious for a car with a folding top.
