The BMW 6 Series is BMW’s largest coupe can really be seen as a true grand-tourer, it looks good and is fun to drive.

The 6 Series competes directly with the Audi A5, the Mercedes E-Class coupe.

Interior, Comfort & Ride quality:
The ride is a bit firm that may be a bit of an issue for the occupants on long drives.
On the plus side the 6 grips the road well, gear shifts are silky smooth and steering is precise as we have learned to expect from BMW products.

Seating is comfortable and somewhat absorbs the firm ride to an extent. The dashboard layout impresses and the controls have a functional layout as well.

Practicality:
The boot space is in line with the segment and is quite big. Rear seating is acceptable for a car in this class, but will be not as comfortable for adults on long trips.

Styling:
I really like the look of the 6 series, it has “that road presence” that not many cars are able to display.
