Gulf Weekly ‘The ultimate’ in four-door sports coupés

THE sporty M-Powered version of the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupé is now available in Bahrain.

Through expert engines, sport-tuned suspensions and exceptional technology, BMW has once again turned the ordinary into the extraordinary, its makers say.

Following in the tracks of the BMW M6 Convertible and Coupé, the third body variant of the BMW M6 high-performance sports car is the new fagship of BMW M GmbH, a subsidiary of the German marque.

Representing the ultimate in four-door high performance sports coupés, the new model occupies an exclusive position in the premium segment.

Combining customary M performance with luxury and aesthetic appeal, the BMW M6 Gran Coupé is immediately recognisable as a 6 Series.

The exterior boasts wide air intakes, contoured headlight units, the newly-designed M kidney grille and 20-inch M light-alloy wheels available with two different design choices.

Under the bonnet is a 4.4 litre V8 engine and M TwinPower Turbo technology, which is accompanied by a seven-speed M Double Clutch Transmission with Drivelogic, Active M Differential and model-specifc chassis technology. Delivering 560bhp, it propels the new model from 0-100kmph in 4.2 seconds.

The roof is made of carbon-fbre-reinforced plastic, a unique feature in this segment. This lightweight design provides superior stiffness and reduces weight by 25kg compared to that of a conventional glass sunroof.

Inside the cockpit, standard equipment includes leather trim, automatically dimming rear-view and exterior mirrors, an alarm system and the BMW Professional radio with hi-fi loudspeakers. Available as an alternative to the standard duel automatic climate control is a 4-zone system with a control panel in the rear compartment.

Highlights of the options list include M multifunction seats, Comfort Access, the Soft Close Automatic function for the doors, electrically operated sun blinds and a new navigation system.
Other technologies include BMW Park Assistant, High Beam Assistant, Lane Change Warning, and Lane Departure Warning.

Prices start from BD58,000. For details, call Euro Motors on 17750750.
