BMW 6 Series
This category is introducing two new models this year. Both the coupe and cabriolet have been updated with a new body and several platform improvements. The most interesting feature, however, is the 4.4L V8 that produces 400 hp. Buyers can choose either a 6-speed manual or an 8-speed automatic gearbox. Its interior is very luxurious while the power assisted steering is very sophisticated.
