The luxury grand tourer. From the classic E24 to the V10-shared E63 and modern Gran Coupe.
The BMW 6 Series is the brand large luxury grand tourer, blending performance with comfort in coupe, convertible, and Gran Coupe forms. The classic E24 (1976-1989) is the elegant shark-nosed original. The modern E63 (2003-2010) shared its platform with the 5 Series and underpinned the V10 M6, and the F06/F12/F13 (2011-2018) added the four-door Gran Coupe. The 6 Series prioritizes effortless high-speed cruising and luxury over outright sharpness, sitting above the 4 Series as a more upscale GT. It was later replaced in the lineup by the 8 Series. On WhipJury, 6 Series submissions favor the 650i and the classic E24.
