BMW 6 Series (G32)

Details of the 6 Series Gran Turismo were released online on June 14, 2017. The car was later officially unveiled at the 2017 Frankfurt International Auto Show in September. The exterior was designed by Hussein Al-Attar. Compared to the 5 Series Gran Turismo, the body of the 6 Series is longer, lower, and lighter. The rear load compartment is larger at . The 6 Series Gran Turismo is based on the modular Cluster Architecture (CLAR) platform and comes with self-levelling air suspension as a standard feature. The car automatically lowers by when travelling at speeds over . Initial models include two petrol engines, the 630i and 640i as well as the 630d which is one of the two diesel engines. The 640d is the second diesel model, which was released later in September 2017. The newest and smallest engine for the 6 Series GT is the 620d. This engine is available since July 2018 and will be the entry-level version for this lineup. All models are available as an all-wheel drive (xDrive) version. The 640d model is available only with all-wheel drive. Unlike the contemporary 5 Series (G30), as well as the preceding 5 Series Gran Turismo (F07) and 6 Series Gran Coupé (F06), no V8 engine was offered for the 6 Series Gran Turismo. Discontinuation The only 6 Series GT to be sold in the USA was the 640i xDrive, for the 2019 model year, as the previous 6 Series (the F06-based Gran Coupé) was also offered in the 2019 model year. Both the Gran Coupé (final year of sale, as production ceased in September 2018) and the Gran Turismo (which continued to be available outside the USA) were discontinued in the USA market after the 2019 model year. The 6 Series Gran Turismo (G32) was discontinued in August 2023 with no successor. While its looks were less awkward than the preceding 5 Series Gran Turismo (F07), both the F07 and G32 had a mixed reception due to the "higher roof [and] the eye-mugging rear" compared to the sleeker (but less practical) Audi A7. Although the practicality of the 6 Series Gran Turismo was lauded, it also faced internal competition from the BMW X5 and X6. == Equipment ==
