But does it still deliver a driving experience worthy of the BMW brand? Let's find out. (engine roars) Low slung with sleek proportions, the 6 Series exudes understated elegance. And while the silhouette is much the same as before, BMW has made a number of changes to the front end, including these new standard LED headlights, LED fog lights, and also a new lower apron that's reminiscent of the one on the smaller 4 Series Coupe. Our test car also has the new for 2016 Black Accent Package, which looks really sharp against the Alpine white exterior. And for $4,000, it includes dark bars in the grill, darkened trim pieces, darkened tailpipes, and also these 20-inch light alloy wheels. The 640i is technically the base 6 Series, but with a 315-horsepower turbocharged six-cylinder engine under the hood, there's plenty of power for city and highway driving, and I never missed the available V8 engine that's in the 650i. Helping matters is a responsive eight-speed automatic transmission that quickly kicks down gears when you need more power. (engine roars) Despite offering Comfort and Comfort+ modes, the 6 Series adaptive suspension is still on the firm side. Now, that helps its composure in corners quite a bit, where body roll is minimal, but you can feel a lot of road imperfections through the suspension, and our test car's 20-inch wheels and low-profile tires also likely play a role. You should expect a lot from a car with a price above $85,000, and the 6 Series mostly delivers. The cabin is richly finished in soft leather on not just the seats but also the doors and the dashboard. And you can see the attention to detail in the interior's fit and finish. An adventurous brown and black color scheme for the seats is included with the Black Accent Package. I was a little surprised at what you don't get at this price. Ventilated seats are not included, and neither are active safety features like lane departure warning and forward collision warning, which remain options. For this money, though, they should be part of the deal. What you do get are two screens that are the focal points of the dashboard. There's the digital instrument panel that has different layouts depending on the driving mode you're in, and also a 10.2-inch widescreen display in the middle of the dash for the navigation system. Now, the wide screen looks beautiful, it responds quickly to inputs from the iDrive Controller, and it also supports split-screen functionality, so you can always have a map view on the screen if you want. The 6 Series has very good visibility, which is something you don't always get in a coupe. The large side windows provide good over-shoulder views, and the rear quarter windows are big too, which help lessen your blind spots. There's also a standard glass roof, which helps open up the cabin. The one thing holding the 6 Series back from delivering a great driving experience is numb steering feel, but it checks most of the other requirements of a high-dollar coupe. It's stylish without being overly showy, has a luxurious interior, and also has plenty of power. It remains a compelling accessory for a night on the town. (trunk hatch thuds)
