BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe - First Look. Whether the
Gran Coupe was in the original plans or something conjured up to compete against the CLS, we might never know. At the end of the day, all that matters is that the 6 Series sedan looks nothing like a marketing afterthought. In fact, the 6 Series looks like it was meant to be a 4-door. Thanks to a 4.4-in. gain in overall length from the coupe version (wheelbase is increased by 4.5 in.), the stretched roofline accommodating a B-pillar and an extra set of doors flows, giving the sedan a proportional look. An added benefit from the growth is the extra room in the rear passenger area. Seating for the Gran Coupe is listed by BMW as 4+1 seating, meaning two full-sized adults and a child (at best) would fit aft of the driver. Having to straddle the center hump isn’t ideal but at least it’s a passenger volume improvement over the 6 Series Coupe’s 2+2 seating.
The new 6 Series with its sleek long profile, sloping front end and pouty derriere is beautiful. There isn’t a bit of its design I would change. How could you improve upon it? Introduce the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe. Give it to the Bavarians to top themselves.

A technological highlight for the new BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe is the optional Adaptive LED Headlights first introduced on the 6 Series Coupe. The trademark BMW twin halo or ring lights in the headlight housing now implement the use of LEDs and the low and high beams are LEDs as well. The bright white light swivels based on steering angle, yaw rate and the car’s speed. Adaptive Xenon headlights come standard.
Other technologies available in the Gran Coupe are ConnectedDrive, rear-view camera, Surround View, Parking Assistant, BMW Night Vision with pedestrian recognition, Lane Departure Warning System and Active Blind Spot Detection, color head-up display, Bang & Olufsen audio system and BMW’s infamous iDrive.
