BMW 6 Series Coupé and Convertible get a new sports package aimed at enhancing driving dynamics and adding a more sporting appearance.

Available on all non-M derivatives in the UK, the Edition Sport package comprises a new contoured bonnet for an aggressive look, bespoke 19-inch light alloy wheels and M anti-roll stabilisation system for improved handling. The suspension enhancement involves the insertion of stiffer anti-roll bars for a 10 percent firmer front axle and a 30 percent firmer rear axle rear. This results in improved handling and a more composed ride during enthusiastic driving.

A brushed aluminium interior, extended lighting and the opportunity to specify one of seven colours, of which Imola Red and Carbon Black are new to the 6 Series range, completes the offering.

Building on this specification, BMW 650i Edition Sport Coupés and Convertibles also come with a Sports exhaust for enhanced engine breathing and aural pleasure.

The BMW M6 Coupé is to be offered with a competition package aimed at offering enhanced driving dynamics. The new package features a revised suspension configuration comprising of a 12mm lower front end and 10mm lower rear, retuned Dynamic Stability Control and ABS settings, and a modified Variable M differential for greater cornering capability.

Visually, a competition package-equipped M6 Coupé has a new bonnet with precision lines for an increased sporting look and M double-spoke light alloy wheels with wider rims that are shod with new Pirelli P Zero Corsa System tyres.

It is not known whether these packages will be available in South Africa.
