BMW unveiled a life-cycle impulse on the 6 Series in 2015, four years after the F13 introduction on the market, and that affected both the coupe and the convertibles.
The 6 Series nameplate was revived by BMW in 2003, after a 14 years hiatus, and it was an instant hit. Despite its controversial design, the car sold well, and eight years later, it resulted in a less-contested version, the F13 lineup. But even if this GT design suited it, it had to go through some changes. Moreover, the car had to be adapted to the new Euro 6c emission standards.
One of the most important changes was at the front, where the car received new LED fog lamps to accompany the full LED headlights. In addition, the bumper sported a new design with a wide center grille in the lower apron, flanked by two air intakes needed to cool the brakes. On the sides, the sculptured door panels and rear quarter panels formed a unitary, flowing shape, while at the back, the redesigned bumper featured corner-mounted reflecting stripes. The canvas roof was removable at a touch of a button and could disappear behind the cabin.
But a GT couldn't be upgraded without additional touches on the interior, where the drop-top 6 Series received new piano-black trims on the center console, around the climate controls. The carmaker offered the convertible fitted with either comfort or sport bucket seats. Also, there was room in the back for two passengers, separated by the tall transmission tunnel.
A 313 hp turbo-diesel was specially built for European customers, while the U.S. buyers got only the twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter or the twin-turbocharged V-8. All versions were available with rear or all-wheel-drive and featured a standard eight-speed automatic gearbox.
