BMW 6-Series Coupe 2008 Bahrain Prices & Specs

The all-new 6-Series was introduced in 2003, filling the hole in the line-up left since the end of the 8-Series. The last actual 6-Series was around back in the 1980s. Based on the underpinnings of the 5-Series, the new 6-Series was introduced with a 4.4 L V8 engine for the 645Ci, but this has since been replaced by the 650Ci with a 4.8-litre V8 in 2006. In 2004, a more affordable inline 6-cylinder engine was introduced in the 630i, upgraded in power for 2006. This was soon followed by a convertible model. Unlike that of the new 5-Series and 7-Series models, the styling of the new 6 Series has generally received a warm welcome from the public, for unknown reasons. The new 6-Series was designed to look like a shark, and really does remind you of one, but it is far from good-looking. The controversial "Bangle-butt" rear styling works somewhat better on the shapely 6-Series than on other BMW models though. The 6-Series has become the vehicle of choice for rich town-cruising yuppies, but it is actually an excellent performance car, available with a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic, with an available six-speed SMG automanual in the V8. A mild facelift came for the 2008 model, adding minor gadgetry updates.
