2010 BMW 6-Series: Overview

Vehicle Highlights

The 2010 BMW 6-Series is largely unchanged. This large, sporty car comes in 650i and M6 models, each available in coupe or convertible form. Both body styles seat four. Convertibles have a power soft top and a heated-glass rear window that can act as a top-down wind deflector or be lowered for top-up ventilation. The 650i models have a 360-hp 4.8-liter V8 and standard 6-speed automatic transmission. The M6 has a 500-hp 5.0-liter V10 that comes with a 7-speed automated manual transmission. A 6-speed manual transmission is offered on both the 650i and M6. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, and front side airbags. Coupes have head-protecting tubular side airbags. Standard are BMW's Active Roll Stabilization designed to counter body lean and BMW's Dynamic Drive Control that adjusts suspension, throttle, and automatic-transmission settings for sportier response. BMW's Active Steering, designed to quicken low-speed steering response, is standard on M6 and available on 650i. M6 also includes a driver-adjustable suspension, uprated brakes, and larger wheels. All models come with a navigation system, steering-linked headlights, and BMW's iDrive controller for climate, audio, and navigation functions.
