How it scores for you10 scores
A supremely comfortable 445-hp grand tourer that cossets two in long-distance luxury, but asks for steep fuel, depreciation and N63 V8 repair bills in return.
Reliability74

Recalled about half as often as cars of the same model years; none of its 4 recalls were serious. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Adjusted -10 points for its wider reputation.

Safety50

Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.

Running costs23

About $3,200 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 23% of cars we track.

Cargo & utility70

13 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 70% of other coupes we track.

Passenger space28

Two-door 4-seater with a token, cramped rear bench and only 13 cu ft of trunk; fine for two, poor for families or bulky cargo.

Driving fun76

445-hp twin-turbo V8 with strong thrust and composed, confident handling, but the 6 Series is a heavy grand tourer tuned for cruising rather than the sharpest sports-coupe feel.

Tech68

Well-equipped for its era: iDrive with navigation, head-up display, surround-view cameras, night vision options — but mid-2010s hardware now looks dated versus current screens and driver aids.

Comfort85

Hallmark BMW GT: quiet, supremely comfortable multi-contour front seats, adaptive dampers and a smooth, long-distance-friendly ride.

Value retention40

Luxury brands like BMW tend to lose value faster than average.

Capability30

Rated to tow 0 lb; all- or four-wheel drive available.
