BMW 6 Series Coupe launched in India at a price tag of Rs. 75 lakh

BMW has launched the 6-Series hard top in India. The new sports coupe will be available in two variants- 650i and 640d. The base 640d which gets a diesel engine is priced at Rs 75 lakh ex-showroom Mumbai while the top-of-the-line V8 petrol engine powered 650i will set you back by Rs 85 lakh which a full Rs 10 lakh less than the convertible they launched months back. Unlike the glamorous launch event that BMW India organised at Udaipur for the launch of the 650i convertible, this was rather a soft launch with the least of fanfare. Also, unlike the convertible which is only available with monstrous 4.4 litre V8 engine, the coupe will be offered with an option of a diesel. The 640d coupe is powered by a 3.0 litre turbocharged diesel engine that puts out 313 bhp @ 4400 rpm and a hefty 630 Nm of torque from 1500-2500 rpm. While top speed remains limited at 250 kph, the dash from 0-100 kph is dealt with in 5.5 sec. The 8-speed automatic transmission is standard on both versions while customers can choose from 15 shades of exterior colours. The diesel variant is priced lower than its petrol powered cousin but if you want to have real fun then its the petrol V8 that we would recommend. We have driven the the BMW 650i convertible and hence we would suggest you to go for the full espresso instead. Both the petrol powered convertible and coupe share the same 4.4 litre V8 that churns out a mighty 407 bhp and 600 torques which, as we discovered are enough to spin the rear wheels even with the traction control system turned on. If you are willing to spend your spare cash on a car that is as exciting as jumping off El Capitan for the first time then, just go for the petrol V8.
