BMW 6 - for those who like to seduce a car

The company, which was originally created for the production of aircraft engines, it is difficult to produce cars that drive slowly. After the ban on the manufacture of military equipment in 1919, BMW switched to the production of brakes for trains. Is it difficult for someone who can brake trains, brake cars qualitatively? So to the release of cars in 1929, BMW came up thoroughly, especially in terms of key aggregates. These same qualities were not lost in the post-war years and were realized with renewed vigor in the BMW 6 business cars with coupe and cabriolet bodies.

Looking at such a car, there may arise a natural question: where on it should we go to Russia? With the autobahns - "napryazhenka", which is unlikely to "relax" soon, but on ordinary roads or in traffic jams - there is nowhere to "sweep". And how do you spend in 5.4 liters of diesel fuel per 100 km in mixed mode for the BMW 6 540d model, which accelerates to 100 km / h in 5.3 seconds? Not a bad indicator. But even in the most voracious BMW 6 650i xDrive, the appetite is not so significantly different: 11.3 liters of gasoline per 100 km in a mixed cycle when accelerating to 100 km / h in 4.8 seconds. You can go to work, as on any other car.

The new look of BMW cars and especially the flagship 7-series caused a lot of discussions and negative reviews among the traditional adherents of the brand. But the 6th series and especially the 6 Series Gran Coupe hardly leaves anyone indifferent. And in such a car there are clearly visible those features that are blamed in the seven: the lines and design of the front optics, a kind of food. Here they look logical and exquisite. And the BMW 6 Cabrio is generally a separate song in terms of design. According to both the manufacturer and testers, the convertible with the raised cloth cap has the same comfort as an ordinary coupe: a quick warm-up of the passenger compartment, long cooling in the cold and excellent noise insulation due to improved aerodynamic properties. However, in all compartment bodies behind is a bit crowded. So no one even counted on the guests in such cars, on the contrary: everything is designed to ensure that even casual passengers do not long interfere with a couple in love alone to enjoy a driving life. But the trunk by the coupé standards here is overwhelming.

In overall dimensions, the BMW 6 is very close to its closest rival Mercedes-Benz CL-class. But its weight - 1615 kg - is much less Mercedovskogo due to greater use of aluminum in the body and suspension parts, and the wings and trunk lid are generally made of thermoplastic. And all this is combined with an almost ideal weight distribution along the axles of the car in the proportion of 50:50, which leads to excellent handling even without the participation of intelligent electronics. By the way, very much impressed by the fact that, unlike the competitor, the version with manual gearbox is left - an indispensable attribute for fans of sports style of driving.

For those who do not want to "bother" while driving, the car is stuffed with electronic helpers. The DSC system, which controls the course stability, together with the CBC, which controls the brakes in the turns, and the anti-lock ABS deals with the correct speed distribution between the wheels during the drifts. Dynamic Drive regulates body rolls during sharp bends. DTC, controlling traction on slippery surfaces, together with the ASC, which mimics the differential lock, helps to flatten and accelerate on ice and during rain. Although the true "driver" behind the wheel of this car often want to take all this electronics for the wires and throw it away far away, so as not to stop "tearing off" But the driver will go a little and think: no, no, I'll leave the automatics - it will come in handy.

BMW 6 is a car that will not leave any girl indifferent. Checked. Only 99% of the girls who are not indifferent to this car continue to be partial to the wallet of its owner ... But this is a completely different story. And there is in fact 1%?
