    BMW has, without much fanfare, put on sale the all-new 6-series coupe.

    Like its soft-top sibling, the 6-series (codename: F13) is available with a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 petrol motor in 650i guise. There is also a diesel-powered version, known as the 640d, which comes with a 3-litre diesel churning out 313bhp. All versions come with a standard eight-speed automatic gearbox.

    The new 6-series continues BMW’s design revolution under the watch of Adrian van Hooydonk, whose mould-breaking Z9 Gran Turismo concept car of 1999 laid down the styling template for today’s 6-series.

    The new 6-Series gets a shark-like nose featuring highly technical headlamp graphics (to be offered with optional LED corona lenses), a slightly forward-leaning kidney grille and a full-width air duct within the lower part of the bumper. The long bonnet is more contoured than the model it replaces.

    At the rear are L-shaped lamps that use similar LED graphics to those seen on the 5-series saloon. The boot is also more integrated than before and now boasts a subtle spoiler integrated into the metal.

    The petrol-powered 650i costs Rs 85 lakh, while the 640d diesel is priced at Rs 75 lakh, both prices ex-showroom, Mumbai.
