Getting straight to the point, the 640i Convertible is powered by an exclusive variant of the six-cylinder in-line engine with BMW TwinPower Turbo, direct injection and VALVETRONIC.
The 3.0l unit is therefore capable of developing 320 hp and 450 Nm (332 lb.ft.), which propels the car from 0 to 62 mph (0 to 100 km/h) in 5.7 seconds and on to an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph). Its average fuel economy in the EU test cycle comes in at 7.9 l/100km (35.8 mpg imp), while CO2 emissions are 185 g/km.
As a fresh reminder, the 650i variant is fitted with a 4.4l V8 power unit with BMW TwinPower Turbo and direct fuel injection, that delivers 400 hp and 600 Nm (450 lb.ft.) of torque. With this unit, the car is capable of a 0-62 mph (0 to 100 km/h) time of 4.9 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h). Its average fuel economy in the EU test cycle comes in at 10.7 l/100km (26.4 mpg imp), while CO2 emissions are 249 g/km.
As for the black-panel instrument cluster of the new BMW 6 Series Convertible, the navigation system, telephone and entertainment functions are operated using the standard-fitted iDrive control system, whose Control Display boasts an innovative design.
The on-board monitor takes the form of a freestanding display for the first time in the new BMW 6 Series Convertible. The standard 7-inch (17.8cm) screen can be upgraded to 10.2 inches (25.9cm) by ordering the optional Navigation system Professional, and the larger screen has a high-quality galvanised chrome surround.
In the US, BMW will offer the 650i Convertible from this spring at a starting price of $91,375 (including destination and handling fees).
