BMW Gran Lusso Coupe takes luxury and exclusivity to a new level

Competition is driving BMW
BMW is looking for the competitive edge that will help separate them for rivals Audi and Mercedes-Benz. Karim Habib, Head of BMW Design says, “In Pininfarina we have found the ideal partner to lend shape to this vehicle concept.” The luxury coupe features the typical BMW proportions with a long wheelbase, stretched hood and set-back greenhouse. But Pininfarina definitely had a big influence on the Gran Lusso Coupe.

The design teams must have worked well together to come up with such an amazing design. “The result of this cooperative venture is far greater than the sum of its parts,” says Fabio Filippini, Head of Design at Pininfarina. “When two such tradition-rich and experienced brands join forces to turn a vision into reality, something utterly new and exciting emerges. From start to finish, this project was defined by a mutual respect for the identity of the other company.”

Gran Lusso Coupe takes luxury to a new level
The one-off creation exudes luxury and BMW is continuing to move in that direction in the future. “The BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupé has an extraordinary impact. It expresses hallmark BMW values such as luxury and sheer presence in a highly elegant form,” says Adrian van Hooydonk, Senior Vice President BMW Group Design. “I admire the reductive clarity and precision in Pininfarina’s design. Their expectations for the end result have been just as high as ours, and their understanding of design perfectly complements the BMW design DNA for a vehicle of this kind.”
BMW and Pininfarina chose only the finest materials and included top-quality craftsmanship. BMW says the interior features kauri wood that has been aged for 48,000 years that lends a special aura to the cabin. Kauri wood is native to New Zealand and is among the rarest timbers in the world. Its unique grain shifts in color from gold to red to brown, depending on the incidence of light and angle of view. The toppled kauri trees have been preserved in swamps for millennia and is the reason for its special characteristics.

The new BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupe is making its global debut in at the 2013 Concorso d’Elegance Villa d’Este in Como, Italy. The one-off exclusive and luxurious coupe will be powered by a V12 powerplant that makes it a powerful luxury sports coupe. Look for some exciting new designs and power from BMW in the future.

BMW 6-series M-Sport Edition available in July

If you're in the market for a BMW 6-series -- including the low-slung Gran Coupe -- but don't have the extra coin to step into an M6 or the M6 Gran Coupe, then BMW has the answer for you with its newly minted M-Sport Edition Package.

Available for all model and engine ranges of the 6-series, Gran Coupe and convertible, the M-Sport Edition Package comes with an M aerodynamics group, 19-inch M light-alloy wheels, LED adaptive headlights and fog lamps, high-gloss Shadow Line trim, black brake calipers and dark polished chrome exhaust pipes.

Interior features would make you think you're in an M6, as it comes with an M leather steering wheel, door sill covers, footrests, napa leather sport seats and optional white leather seats with orange stitching.

The 650i -- including the xDrive models -- features the Driver Assistance Package while all models have the option of the previously M6-exclusive Sakhir orange metallic M exterior paint. All models with the M-Sport Edition Package also get BMW's Executive Package and its new Dynamic Digital Instrument Cluster.

The M-Sport Edition Package adds $4,600 to the base MSRP of the 6-series convertible, $4,800 to the coupe and $5,300 to the Gran Coupe. These features will be available across the whole 6-series range starting July 13.

BMW Rated as Top Automotive Brand by Forbes

It’s no secret that BMW, as a brand, is one of the most powerful and well recognized in the world. Many of the Bavarian automaker’s cars are unanimously acknowledged as being among the most advanced in the world, with the decades of experience paying off in the modern era.

Sadly, BMW also equates sales figures and profits with success, and the company often strays away from their original philosophy these days, giving people what they think they want, instead of giving them what they deserve for the high premiums that a propeller-badged car attracts these days.
Even their current base model, the 1-Series, can be specified up to such a high level that you can make it more expensive than a moderately-well equipped 5-Series (find a BMW configurator of your choosing, and try it out for yourself) - that can't be right, can it?

The German brand is followed by the names you'd expect to hear afterward, like Toyota, which is ranked 14th overall, and Mercedes-Benz which places 16th, just above Luis Vuitton. Further down (but still in order) we have Honda, Audi, VW (45th overall), Ford (59th overall), Hyundai, Nissan and Lexus in the top 100. These rankings were calculated in October of 2012, so they should remain pretty accurate today, as well.

2013 BMW M6 Coupe Review by Car and Driver

On the open road, the M6 masks its weight well and is perhaps the “Ultimate Touring Machine.” But the satisfaction doesn’t carry over to balls-out bombing runs, as we found out during our latest Lightning Lap track test. Whereas directional stability and roadholding are impressive on any paved road, and the car packs prodigious power, at-the-limit driving is made difficult by a distinct lack of feedback from the steering wheel and brakes. The steering offers three weight settings, but most of our staff prefer the Comfort setting, the lightest of the three. The wheel is simply needlessly heavy in the two other modes. And we think the stability control could allow for more generous tail action in its Dynamic setting.

Even so, the M6 is a considerably more agile and stiff vehicle than the regular 6-series, in large part because its rear subframe is bolted directly to the body. The M6 features an electronically controlled active differential that can instantly shift between zero and full-locking force, as well as electrohydraulic dampers, which operate in clearly delineated Comfort, Sport, and Sport Plus settings.

Our car was equipped with 20-inch aluminum wheels, a $1300 option, and carbon-ceramic brakes, which set the buyer back another $9250. The optional binders bite hard and display no sign of fade, but as mentioned, we wish the pedal were a better conversationalist. 

Despite its remarkable length of 193.0 inches, the M6 is not particularly spacious. The driver and the co-driver sit low and comfortably and are surrounded by a gracefully arched dashboard. But the rear seats are a far less desirable place to be, because of difficult ingress and egress and limited head- and legroom.

Priced from $109,275, the M6 coupe faces stiff competition in the sports-luxury segment, including the Jaguar XKR, Aston Martin V8 Vantage, and Maserati GranTurismo. Many customers in this class appreciate luxury amenities and ease of operation above sheer performance, which is apparent in this car’s execution. But what about those of us who still admire the first-generation M6 and would gladly do without all the electronic assistants and gimmicks?

We started to make an uneasy peace with the M6 far away from civilization, sitting abaft of the controlled inferno in the combustion chambers. We were perhaps a dozen miles into a blitz down a two-lane road, a long, lingering gray cloud of fine dust trailing in our wake. And out of the red mist, a realization came into focus: Unless the car suddenly loses hundred of pounds and the steering and the brakes are retuned, we’re going to have to suck it up and accept what the M6 has become—the Ultimate Touring Machine.

Monday Maitenance Tip!

Check the power-steering fluid once a month with the car warmed up. If the level is low, have the hoses and pump inspected for leaks. In addition to making your car difficult to steer, low power-steering fluid will damage the power-steering pump. Be sure to use the powersteering fluid recommended for you car.
