BMW 6-Series News

The current-generation BMW 6-Series was all-new for the 2012 model year, so we’ll soon see the vehicle undergo its mid-cycle update. Today, we have new spy shots of a prototype for the updated 6-Series coupe, which we expect to be revealed next year, as a 2016 model. Being a mid-cycle update...

For a number of years now, BMW has been employing the services of its Z4 in GT racing. The Z4 GT3 in particular has performed quite well, helping to retain a link to the automaker's claims that it builds the ultimate driving machines. Now though, it seems that the Z4 will have to step aside. That's...

Alpina’s version of the svelte BMW 6-Series Gran Coupe only landed in the U.S. this year but an updated version of the fast four-door is on its way. The prototype you see here is for the 2016 BMW Alpina B6 Gran Coupe, which in the U.S. is likely to still come exclusively with xDrive all-wheel...

Few cars on the market offer a better combination of style, performance and luxury than BMW’s M6, but the German automaker isn’t resting on its laurels and plans to introduce an updated version of the car for the 2016 model year. Today, we have spy shots of a prototype for the updated...

The BMW 6-Series Gran Coupe was only introduced for the 2013 model year, but the car it’s based on, the 6-Series coupe, is a bit older than that and is set to receive its mid-cycle update for the 2016 model year—and it looks like the changes will be applied to the four-door Gran Coupe...

We're sure there are downsides to being a professional racing driver, but it's fair to say the upsides probably cancel these out somewhat. You get paid to drive cars quickly around race tracks, for a start, but the jet-set lifestyle, adoration from fans around the world and healthy income can't be...

The U.S. is about to get its second BMW Alpina model in the form of the 6-Series-based 2015 BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe, which made its world debut this week at the 2014 New York Auto Show. Alpina is a semi-official BMW tuner based in the German automaker’s home state of Bavaria and...

BMW’s M Performance range of go-fast parts and accessories aren’t designed strictly for BMW’s regular models, but can also be used to enhance the automaker’s dedicated M cars. In fact, BMW first used the M3 to test the waters with its new M Performance branding and now...

There are many reasons to beat an M6 to death with a bat...wait, no, there really aren't. Unless you're this guy outside the Frankfurt auto show. ALSO SEE: Wife Demolishes Cheating Husband’s Audi R8: Not So Fast, Definitely Furious Apparently dissatisfied with his M6's reliability and BMW's...

BMW’s M6 Gran Coupe will soon have competition from the automaker’s semi-official tuner Alpina, engineers from which were recently at the Nürburgring race track in Germany honing their own version of the svelte 6-Series Gran Coupe. The prototype they were testing is for the...

BMW is expanding its range of special M Sport Edition models with a new 6-Series M Sport Edition being introduced for the 2014 model year. As its name suggests, the 6-Series M Sport Edition is based around the car’s M Sport package but adds some extras at no additional cost. All the models...

With the 2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG now offering as much as 577 horsepower in ‘S-Model’ trim, the 560 horsepower of the BMW M5 is starting to look a little feeble, at least in terms of bragging rights (we doubt most owners would be able to tell the difference). To rectify the issue, BMW...

Following the success of the BMW M5 as MotoGP’s official safety car in 2012, the latest bahnstormer from the hallowed M Division, the 2014 BMW M6 Gran Coupe, has been picked as this year’s safety car. This will be the 15th successive year that a BMW M car has served as the official...

BMW is planning a few changes for its 6-Series lineup in 2014, and from an enthusiast perspective virtually all of them are positive. First and foremost, BMW has heard the complaints of U.S. buyers, and it will introduce a six-speed manual gearbox as a no-charge option on all 2014 M6 variants. That...

When it comes down to it, there will likely be one primary reason to pick the BMW M6 Gran Coupe over its platform-sharing sibling, the BMW M5 sedan: style. Both will serve up a twin-turbo 4.4-liter V-8 engine good for 560 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of torque, and both will seat four adults...

In it’s most elemental form, a rotary printing press consists of a cylinder that’s coated with ink, rolling across a sheet of paper. Though neither economical nor practical, it’s entirely possible to turn a car into a printing press, once you engineer a solution to spray the...

No, this isn’t a regular 2013 6-Series Gran Coupe equipped with its M Sport package. Rather, it’s a fully-fledged M version of the new four-door coupe, spotted testing by one of our sleuth spy photographers on the Nurburgring, following up the last batch of photos from testing in...

Hot on the heels of the special edition Porsche Panamera we saw earlier today comes two special BMW models developed exclusively for the U.S. market. They are based on the 2013 X6 crossover and 2013 6-Series coupe and offer a host of luxurious extras at only minimal additional cost. Of course...

The 2013 BMW M5 and M6 Coupe and Convertible are, unquestionably, very good cars. It appears, however, they are fitted with faulty oil pumps--which may fail so catastrophically and suddenly as to result in "severe engine damage" due to a complete loss of oil pressure. Accordingly, BMW has decided...
