BMW’s latest 6-series coupe

 

What Is It?
It’s big, luxurious, and fast. BMW’s latest 6-series coupe, the 2012 650i, banishes the awkward look of its predecessor with a sharp new design. Stretched, lowered, and widened, the new 6er also boasts a lavish interior with an abundance of high-tech gizmos, fantastic front seats, and enough leather and French stitching to get a coachbuilder’s nod of approval. Completing the makeover is the muscular and always entertaining 400-hp, twin-turbo 4.4-liter V-8, hooked to a silky yet snappy eight-speed automatic transmission (a six-speed manual also is offered). With its 112.4-inch wheelbase and 4368-pound curb weight, the 650i is a big car, but it throws down performance figures that other similarly powered and much lighter machines could only dream of.
How Does It Drive?
Like a big teddy bear or angry grizzly; the choice between ease and evil is yours. Toggle the Driving Dynamics Control button through Comfort+, Comfort, Sport, and Sport+ settings and the car will grant your wish. In the Comfort modes, the suspension, throttle, transmission program, and steering are relaxed enough for country clubbers, while the Sport selections tighten those same elements, granting the 650i a surprisingly athletic feel. And when we say “athletic,” we aren’t talking amateur status.
