The BMW 6 Series is a range of executive coupés produced by the German automaker BMW.
High-performance M variants add to the range of six- and eight-cylinder engines. With its blend of style, speed, and sophistication, the BMW 6 Series competes with the Maserati GranTurismo, Jaguar XK, Mercedes-Benz SL Class, Mercedes-Benz CLS Class, and, to an extent, the Porsche 911.

First introduced in 1976, the original BMW 6 Series was only available as a coupe. The long-lived first generation ran until 1989, seeing many changes along the way, including an increase in displacement of its inline six-cylinder engine from the initial 3.2-liter displacement to a final displacement of 3.5 liters. Performance, power, and accommodations likewise made incremental improvements over the 13-year model run. An M6 version offered further enhancements to power and handling.

After a hiatus, the BMW 6 Series returned for its second generation in 2003, taking the place left by the cessation of the 8-Series. This time around, the BMW 6 Series took its basis from the 5-Series’ core mechanical underpinnings, but was offered as a coupe and convertible. A 4.4-liter V-8 engine was the standard powerplant, generating a stout 330 horsepower.

In 2006, mid-way through the second generation’s model run, a new 4.8-liter V-8 was introduced, raising output to 362 horsepower. The M6, debuting in 2005, saw a 500-horsepower V-10 engine paired with the SMG III automated manual gearbox, yielding impressive 0-60 mph acceleration of 4.1 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph–though the M6 itself was capable of 194 mph.
