Predecessor | BMW 6 Series (E63) |
Successor | BMW 8 Series (G15) (for body style and class), BMW 6 Series (G32) (for 6 series nameplate) |
The third generation of the BMW 6 Series consists of the BMW F12 (two-door convertible version), BMW F13 (two-door coupe version) and BMW F06 (four-door "Gran Coupe" version) grand tourers. The F12/F13/F06 generation was produced from 2011 to 2018 and is often collectively referred to as the F12.
The F12 uses a shortened version of the F10 5 Series platform and shares many features with the 5 Series.
The M6 version is powered by the S63 twin-turbocharged V8 engine mated to a 7-speed dual clutch transmission.[1] [2] It is the first M6 model to use a turbocharged engine.
Production of the F12 generation ended when the Gran Coupe models were discontinued in September 2018.[3] The successor to the F12, the BMW 8 Series (G15), began production in June 2018.[4]
Development and launch [edit]
The new 6 Series was first shown as the "BMW Concept 6 Series" coupé concept car at the 2010 Paris Motor Show.[5] [6] The exterior was designed by Nader Faghihzadeh,[7] [8] and the interior by Christian Bauer.[9]
Unusually for BMW, the production version of the convertible was released before the coupé. The convertible version was officially introduced in January at the 2011 North American International Auto Show, while the coupé was introduced in April at the Shanghai Auto Show and New York Auto Show. The Gran Coupé was introduced at the 2012 New York Auto Show.
Initial models included the 640i and 650i, while 640d and 650i xDrive models were later added to the lineup.[10] The kerb weight of the model range is 1,715–1,985 kg (3,781–4,376 lb).[ citation needed ]

The wheelbase of the Gran Coupé is 117 mm (4.6 in) longer than the F13 coupé,[19] and the same length as the BMW F10 5 Series. Compared with the F13 coupé, the body is 112 mm (4.4 in) longer, and 23 mm (0.9 in) taller.[20] The Gran Coupé has a 4+1 seating arrangement, meaning there are two full-size rear seats, and one smaller rear middle seat.[21]
Production of the Gran Coupe models began in March 2012 and ended in September 2018.[22] [23] [24] Although production ended in fall of 2018, the F06 Gran Coupe are available in the 2019 model year.
