BMW 6-Series Coupe road tests and consumer car reviews

BMW 6-Series Coupe 3.5 D 2008

This is my wife’s car. The BM is ’USELESS’in the snow! Even an inch of snow renders it imobile. The mud and snow setting on the auto box is a joke. There are strange inconsistencies, for example, the rear towing eye cover is attached with a nylon thread to the car so it does not get lost when the towing eye is in place. The front towing eye cover is NOT attached so can be easily lost especially when its snowing and dark! On my Qashqai the coolant bottle is transparent so at a glance I can tell if I need to top up coolant. On the BM the coolant bottle is opaque. You have to remove the pressure lid and then look for a float to see if the coolant is at the correct level! Over engineered for no purpose. Its a good looking car but it’s going nowhere ’til the snow goes.

You’re reviewing a 60k+ car and focus on the towing eye, coolant bottle opacity & how it handles the one day a year we get snow? FFS go back to your Qashqai, you deserve to drive a POS like that! - Ben from England

I love the unique styling of the 6-Series. Also has the best drive, seriously quick off the mark. Superb.
