The rear end of the Coupe is muscular and the look is enhanced by dazzling tail lamps and an additional brake light which is integrated in the spoiler lip. The interiors of the car are roomy and very comfortable. There is enough space for four people to squeeze into the two door coupe. The interiors of the car as good as they could get. The interiors definitely compliment the exterior of the car. The use of top quality materials provide functionality and exclusivity to the car. The 2+2 seater has a generous boot space and the passengers at the rear seat do not feel cramped up. Upholstered in finest Dakota leather, the cabin gets some sleek wooden trim in the trendy instrument cluster and leather wrapped steering wheel with multi-functional buttons. Standard features found in the 650i variant of BMW 6 Series coupe include automatic air-conditioning, power windows and power door locks. Power train Since only the 650i variant is the only one available in India, it has to have a powerful engine and thats exactly what it has.

Handling and Safety
The Active Steering System of the coupe makes use of an electric motor, which modifies the wheel angle according to the acceleration and deceleration of the car. The optional Dynamic Drive active suspension system takes handling precision to an altogether new level. The suspension provides the car with better stability and also offers a high level of riding comfort by minimizing body roll via the active anti-roll bars, positioned on the front and rear axles. This ensures a smooth ride for all the passengers in the car. Passenger safety has been improved in the latest version of BMW 6 Series coupe. One of the advanced safety features of the coupe is the crash-active headrest, which reduces the risk of neck injury. Sidewalls of the run-flat tyres have been strengthened, which increases the durability of the tyres. Night vision, optional in the coupe, reduces the stress of trying to see people in low light conditions. Side impact protection and crumple zones shield the passengers from the impact of collisions.
