Benefits of Driving a 2013 BMW 6 Series Sedan

For those in the market for a true grand touring car, the BMW 6-Series is among the best choices available today. The controversial styling that may have kept buyers away in the past is gone, replaced by a much more sophisticated and clean look. It's a great choice for those weighing performance and comfort equally, in a field long-held by the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and the Jaguar XK.

What's new for 2013?

After a full redesign for 2012, BMW has updated the 6-Series with a couple of new body styles, new engines and an optional all-wheel-drive system. Most significant is the introduction of the 6-series Gran Coupe, which mixes the low swooped styling of the 6-series with a 4-door body. Similar to the Audi A7 and Mercedes-Benz CLS, the Gran Coupe is a 'four-door coupe' with lines that emulate that of a traditional 2-door, while still offering plenty of space for rear seat occupants. Also new to the 6-series line up is a new 6-cylinder engine costing significantly less to operate than the 8-cylinder powering 650i models.

Model Review

The 6-Series is BMW's flagship grand tourer. The 4-door Gran Coupe is the newest addition to this line up and is actually a full four inches longer than the Coupe. Though the Gran Coupe has four doors, seating is limited to four occupants--BMW choosing to compromise the traditional fifth passenger in the name of more comfort for the other four. The cost of upgrading to the Gran Coupe is a less than $3000 making it a pretty simple choice for people who need more space but still love the styling of the 6-series.
