The luxurious and ultra-powerful BMW 6 Series comes in coupe, Gran Coupe and cabriolet versions. Despite their very generous size, they seat just four passengers, each of whom has an individual seat. It’s all-wheel drive for the lot of them, with the exception of the M6, which is a rear-wheel drive. Three turbo engines are used: a 3.0L 315-hp in-line six-cylinder, and two 4.4L V8s that generate 445 and 560 horsepower, respectively.
