A magical effect can also be experienced in the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupé. The flowing lines fascinate the  beholder. The high-quality materials cast a beguiling spell. The sound of the powerful engine sets the acoustic  tone for the future. Elegance, exclusivity and sportiness combine in a way that can only be described as pioneering –  and the effect is impossible to resist.
