The 6-series was among our favorite BMWs. Built for three model generations—two of which have been consecutive, starting in 2003—it was an upmarket and beautiful coupe (with a convertible and later a low-slung four-door derivative) with strong dynamic capabilities. Now BMW tells us its successor for the 6-series will revive the 8-series nomenclature, despite virtually identical market positioning. But that doesn’t mean the 6-series moniker will disappear. Henceforth, it will be affixed to a vastly different car: the BMW 6-series Gran Turismo.
HIGHS
Looks better than its 5-series predecessor, spacious interior, comfortable ride.
LOWS
Sits too high, floaty ride in Comfort+ mode, what’s becoming of BMW?
While vaguely resembling the 6-series Gran Coupe, this new car is more directly the successor to the 5-series Gran Turismo, once breathlessly touted as a Progressive Activity Sedan. Recently put out to pasture, the 5-series GT had a high center of gravity and ungainly, tallish looks that took enthusiasts aback when it arrived in late 2009. Unsurprisingly, it has remained a rare presence on our roads.
