The 2010 BMW 6 Series is ready to impress you with an elegant interior, road-dominating prowess, and exterior style that can't be matched. The new 6 Series harnesses the power of a 360 horsepower 4.8-liter DOHC (4-Cam) 32-valve V-8 engine with Valvetronic, an aluminum block and cylinder heads, a 2-stage air intake manifold, Double-VANOS steplessly variable valve timing, and electronically controlled engine cooling. With features like dynamic stability control, electro-hydraulic brakes, and active roll stabilization, the 6 Series is primed to tackle any sticky road situation. Dynamic Stability Control is a stabilizing feature that uses built-in sensors to constantly monitor various factors, such as speed, brake pressure, steering angle, and traction. The system stops potential accidents by correcting wheel traction immediately. Active roll stabilization reduces body-roll while cornering which improves suspension. The high-quality interior comes elegantly equipped with such features as dynamic cruise control and a navigation system with real time traffic information. Moreover, the exterior has plenty of curb appeal with V spoke cast alloy wheels and metallic paint. There's no arguing about it; the new 6 Series is glossed with beauty, road-prowess, comfort, and convenience.
Highlights for the exterior include rain-sensing windshield wipers with adjustable speed, Xenon Adaptive Headlights, a headlight washing system, halogen free-form foglights, and Park Distance Control. Park distance control helps you to maneuver into and out of the tightest spaces by using ultrasonic sensors to detect how close you're getting to objects behind your bumper. The system lets out a series of warning tones to let you know how close you're getting. Xenon adaptive headlights can rotate in the direction of your wheels to give you a better view of the road when you're turning. Power-adjustable, heated, body-color, power-folding side-view mirrors with an automatic-dimming function also come standard on the 6 Series.
Important features for the handling, ride, and brake category, besides those already mentioned, include brake stand-by features, brake fade compensation, start-off assistant, brake drying, vehicle-speed-sensitive variable-assist variable-ratio rack-and-pinion power steering, Dynamic Traction Control, and sport suspension. Brake standby prepares for a panic stop when the the driver's foot abruptly lifts off the accelerator and brake drying removes wetness from the brake rotors in the rain. Dynamic traction control comes in handy in snowy weather by regulating the wheel traction and adjusting engine output as needed.
The instruments and controls standard features have quite a few advanced gizmos--such as vehicle and key memory, an iDrive system with an onboard computer and controller, and a 3-spoke leather-wrapped multi-function sport steering wheel with controls for the audio system, cruise control, and Bluetooth. The iDrive system allows you to control dozens of functions through a simple push and turn dial and a few buttons. Of course, the features really crucial to driving such as the windshield wipers, headlights, sound system, and communication controls are all positioned on or around the wheel.
The plush interior includes refined elements such as Brushed Aluminum interior trim, 4-way power lumbar support for the front seats, and Dakota Leather upholstery. You'll also love the convenience of the 3-setting memory system that allows you to fix settings for the driver's seat, side-view mirrors, and steering wheel position.
Chances are you won't be bored with the awesome audio system that comes standard. It includes an anti-theft AM/FM stereo, a CD player, 8 speakers, Auto-Store, an FM diversity antenna system, and MP3 capabilities. You'll enjoy an HD Radio with multicast FM station reception and an auxiliary audio input for portable music players. Additionally, the 6 Series comes pre-wired for satellite radio installation.
Significant comfort and convenience features include a heated rear window defroster, a heated driver's door lock, an integrated three button universal garage door opener, front and rear cupholders, and a power tilt and telescopic steering wheel with automatic tilt-up. Automatic climate control with separate left/right temperature and air distribution controls and automatic air recirculation also comes standard.
Safety is one less thing to worry about when you drive a 2010 BMW 6 Series. It comes with active and passive safety features to keep you and your passengers safe from harm. These include adaptive brake lights, a driver and front passenger supplemental restraint system, active knee protection, Bluetooth wireless technology for hands-free calling, and active head restraints on the front seats.
