Segment: Premium Coupe
Production years: 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015
On the brinks of the world economic crisis in 2007, BMW showed the CS concept-car, a study that revealed a four-door coupe. But it had to wait for another five years to be released as a production vehicle named 6 Series Gran Coupe.
What it was, it was a BMW 6 Series with four doors. Underneath the body, there was the BMW 5-Series platform, but the Gran Coupe was longer, wider and lower than that. After Mercedes-Benz CLS and the Audi A7, the Gran Coupe filled the German premium offer in this new segment of luxury four-door coupes.
From front and rear, it was just a 6 Series with the same angry eyes and the LED signature in the headlamps. The wide air-scoop in the front bumper helped to cool the engine, while the “BMW-kidney” grille was wider but not tall. The sleek lines evoked speed and performance. And that what the car offered.
Inside, the luxurious interior featured bolstered seats, high-quality materials and an easy to read instrument cluster. In addition to that, a head-up display was offered as an option but, unlike other brands, the system projected the information on the windshield. The big, bulky, transmission tunnel separated the driver from its side passenger. BMW said that the car was a 4+1 people vehicle. It meant that four people could seat in comfort, but that “+1” should ride on the extended center console that went all the way to the rear seats.
Under the hood, there were few engine options fed with diesel or gasoline. An all-wheel-drive transmission was available as an option, while the base versions had rear-wheel-drive only.
