2012 BMW 6-Series Gran Caupe Elegan

This model truly has it all! The 2012 BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe can be best described as “moving elegance.” This is the third model in the BMW 6 Series line-up, the first four-door coupe in the history of the brand. It uses a 4.4 liter V8 engine that can deliver up to 450 horsepower. This model also uses a unique combination of sporty driving pleasure, elegant design, practicality, travel luxury and exclusive interior atmosphere.

Front-end design points to BMW 6 Series identity, individual character embodied by model-specific electroplated bars between the air intake and foglamps; twin round headlights with three-dimensional light rings, optional adaptive LED headlights; distinctive silhouette with flowing Coupe-style roof line and elegant take on the Hofmeister kink, complete with “Gran Coupe” lettering on the C-pillar; eye-catching rear emphasises the width of the car; LED rear lights in an L-shape – like the BMW 6 Series Coupe and BMW 6 Series Convertible; full-length third brake light above the rear window.
