It has been a long time coming, but BMW finally updated its 6-series, changing the body style and giving it all the latest technology, from a powerful and efficient engine to app integration.
The exterior design better echoes the original 6-series, with clean lines down the sides and a better-looking trunk lid. The front has the shorter grille of recent BMW models.
The engine is common to BMW's other big cars, a 4.4-liter V-8 with direct injection and two twin-scroll turbos. It produces 407 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque.
A rocker switch lets you cycle through Sport plus, Sport, Comfort, and Comfort plus modes. The camera button activates a front split-view camera, useful for nosing out of parking garages.
