New 6-Series sharpens its act

Now BMW has even more six appeal! The firm has launched a range of sporty upgrades for its 6-Series and X6 line-ups, all designed to boost their driving dynamics and visual appeal.

The Edition Sport package is available across the 6-Series range, and comprises a new bonnet, 19-inch alloys and sports suspension. The 650i also adds a sports exhaust.

Seven colours are available, while the cabin gets brushed aluminium trim. Prices start at £53,445 for the 630i, rising to £65,820 for the 650i Convertible. For even more sporting appeal, a competition package is now available for the M6, which includes lowered suspension.

A redesigned bonnet and lightweight M Sport double-spoke wheels complete the changes. The pack adds £2,180 to the M6’s £84,500 price tag.

Finally, the X6 has a new flagship: the xDrive 50i. Powered by a 480bhp twin-turbo V8, it hits 0-62mph in 5.4 seconds, emits 299g/km of CO2 and costs £53,930.
