BTM July 2012 95 The all-new BMW 6 Series Gran Coupé is the third model in the BMW 6 Series line-up, and follows the successful debut of the next generation convertible and coupé models launched last year. This unique car with a distinctive character is, nevertheless, unmistakably a BMW. “The BMW 6 Series Gran Coupé follows in the tyre tracks of the BMW 6 Series Coupé that we launched in Bahrain last year,” noted Zayed Al Zayani, managing director, Euro Motors, at the launch ceremony. “We expect that its distinctive character combined with dynamic driving, unmatched features and elegant style will see the coupé be a popular seller in Bahrain.” The exterior sets new standards in terms of aesthetic design for four-door vehicles as seen in its reduced height and the flat roofline that smoothly flows into the rear end; low and graceful lines are especially impressive when looking at the car’s side profile. In addition, the elongated side windows optimise the incidence of light to enhance the feeling of spaciousness in the interior, the frameless door windows are also a design element indicative of a sporty coupé. The interior has a driver orientation typical of the BMW brand, with a driver-focused cockpit and front passenger area bordered by elegantly sweeping surfaces; a harmonious connection between the front seats and the rear. Passengers sitting in the rear have a generous amount of space and a high level of comfort in a very stylish and luxurious surrounding. The driving experience control switch on the centre console allows the driver to alter accelerator response characteristics, engine response, the power steering characteristics, the DSC settings, damper characteristics and the shift characteristics of the automatic transmission. Designed with state-of-the-art chassis technology, this coupé will delight drivers with its dynamic performance and outstanding refinement. Highlights that come as standard include electric power steering and dynamic damper control to help provide the perfect balance between dynamics and comfort. Power is managed by an eight-speed sports automatic transmission. With its extremely fast gear changes, the engine options are built for sporty driving, comfortable shifting and optimised efficiency. An unrivalled range of BMW ConnectedDrive driver assistance technology features for enhanced comfort and safety such as park assistant, camera-based collision warning with a braking function that works in conjunction with active cruise control. The latest generation full colour BMW head-up display projects the symbols on the windscreen in 3D. As with all BMW models, the 6 Series Gran Coupé features an exclusive options list that includes comfort seats and sports seats, active seats, seat ventilation, exclusive Nappa leather, ceramic applications, heated rear seats and 4-zone automatic climate control. There is also a Bang & Olufsen high-end surround sound system that offers a brilliant sound experience from every seat. E Call 17 750-750.
