The third generation of the BMW 6 Series consists of the BMW F12 (two-door convertible version), BMW F13 (two-door coupé version) BMW F06 (four-door "Gran Coupé" version) executive-sized grand tourers. The F12/F13/F06 generation was produced from 2011 to 2018 and is often collectively referred to as the F12.
The F12 shares a platform and many features with the F10 5 Series and F01 7 Series, with the two-door F12/13 models having a shorter wheelbase than the F10, while the four-door F06's wheelbase matches the F10's.
The M6 version is powered by the S63 twin-turbocharged V8 engine mated to a 7-speed dual clutch transmission.[1][2] It is the first M6 model to use a turbocharged engine.
Production of the F12 generation ended when the Gran Coupe models were discontinued in September 2018.[3] The successor to the F12, the BMW 8 Series (G15), began production in June 2018.[4] The 6 Series nameplate was re-used for the BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo (G32) which is still executive-sized being based upon the contemporary 5 Series (G30) and has features of a four-door coupé like frameless doors and sloping rear roofline; however unlike the F06 Gran Coupé which is a sedan the G32 Gran Turismo is a 5-door liftback succeeding the BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo (F07).
Development and launch
The new 6 Series was first shown as the "BMW Concept 6 Series" coupé concept car at the 2010 Paris Motor Show.[5][6] The exterior was designed by Nader Faghihzadeh,[7][8] and the interior by Christian Bauer.[9]
Unusually for BMW, the production version of the convertible was released before the coupé. The convertible version was officially introduced in January at the 2011 North American International Auto Show, while the coupé was introduced in April at the Shanghai Auto Show and New York Auto Show. The Gran Coupé was introduced at the 2012 New York Auto Show and the 2012 Geneva Motor Show.
Initial models included the 640i and 650i, while 640d and 650i xDrive models were later added to the lineup.[10] The kerb weight of the model range is Шаблон:Convert.Шаблон:Citation needed

Gran Coupé (F06)
The F06 Gran Coupé is the four-door coupé variant of the 6 Series, and was launched in March 2012 at the Geneva International Motor Show.[15] The design of the Gran Coupé was inspired by the 2007 BMW CS Concept.[16][17][18]
The wheelbase of the Gran Coupé is Шаблон:Convert longer than the F13 coupé,[19] and the same length as the BMW F10 5 Series. Compared with the F13 coupé, the body is Шаблон:Convert longer, and Шаблон:Convert taller.[20] The Gran Coupé has a 4+1 seating arrangement, meaning there are two full-size rear seats, and one smaller rear middle seat.[21] Compared to the F01 7 Series, the Gran Coupe has a larger trunk (16.2 cubic feet versus 14 cubic feet) less headroom in the back seats due to the sloping rear roof line.[22]
Production of the Gran Coupe models began in March 2012 and ended in September 2018.[23][24][25] Although production ended in the fall of 2018, the F06 Gran Coupe was available in the 2019 model year.

Equipment
The F06/F12/F13 6 Series introduced selectable driving modes with ECO PRO, Comfort, and Sport, affecting the acceleration, transmission shift points, and climate control system.[30]
Convertible models feature sun reflective front seats, and Gran Coupé models feature 60:40 split-folding rear seats.[31] 6 Series models are also available with the M Sport package, featuring M exterior and interior styling, LED foglights, 19-inch alloy wheels, sports seats, and an Alcantara interior.[32] Additional options include automatic parking, a Bang & Olufsen surround sound speaker system, and all-wheel drive (xDrive).[33]
M Performance Parts can be fitted to all models. These include black grilles, carbon fibre mirrors, a sport exhaust system, M rims, sport pedals, a sport steering wheel and a carbon fibre gear selector. Шаблон:Clear right
M6 model
The M6 version was produced in convertible (F12), coupé (F13) and four-door coupé (F06) body styles. It was launched in the coupé body style alongside the standard 6 Series Gran Coupé at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show,[34] and at the Auto Mobil International Leipzig in convertible form.[35]
It is powered by the S63 4.4 litre twin-turbo V8. In most countries, the only transmission offered was a Getrag 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (called "M-DCT"). In the United States, a 6-speed manual transmission was also available.[36]
Compared to the standard car, the M6 features M-styling, merino leather upholstery, an M-specific head-up display, and a carbon fibre roof.[37]
Alpina B6
The Alpina B6 Gran Coupé xDrive was launched in 2014 and is a high performance model based on the 650i.[38] It shares the 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 found in the B5 BiTurbo rated at Шаблон:Convert and Шаблон:Convert, with a top speed of Шаблон:Convert.[39] B6 models receive 20-inch alloy wheels, aerodynamic elements, and exclusive trim and paint options.[40] In 2015, the B6 was refreshed and received performance improvements of Шаблон:Convert and Шаблон:Convert, and now had a top speed of Шаблон:Convert.[41]
The B6 was manufactured alongside the regular 6 Series in Dingolfing, and was then completed with remaining components at the Alpina factory in Buchloe, Bavaria.[42][43] Alpina independently sells the B6 in most countries. However, the B6 is sold by BMW in the United States and Canada alongside BMW's own M6; with the M6 being sportier and more responsive (due to its dual-clutch transmission, turbochargers, and lighter weight being rear-wheel drive only) while the B6 is geared more towards on-road driving rather than the racetrack.
