Very detailed Review and demonstration. And much enjoyed driving part, with great driving and views through the windscreen. Saying 'semi-autonomous' or whatever, is fine by me - you speak english better than me, and its my language, so who am I to say! I liked at 6:52 "Live testing on Autogefuhl… no shiny marketing stuff!" - too true - kudos. Live on tape Thomas.

[@ElenarMT]

Nice review. It's interesting reading the comments - people with clapped up Corsa and Fiestas commenting about the looks. It's such a lazy cliché to say it's ugly and other similar comments. Ugh. Come up with something original! I owned a 530d GT. For 3 years it was a great car then I needed to change cars because of a change of lifestyle 2 years ago I had the opportunity to buy a new car. I looked at the Porsche Panamera, Mercedes S class, Audio 8 whatever and the BMW 6 series, as well as the Lexus. But I needed a car that was sublimely comfortable, as well as practical. So I chose a BMW 6GT. It doesn't look like every car parked in every car park. It is unique and every person I've spoken to in real life have said what a stunning car it is. Looks aside, I have a back injury, so I needed a car that feels like a soft comfortable sofa. I live in Mid Wales in the mountains. There are no straight roads or motorways within 2 hours of me. Every road is a twisty, bendy mountain road. It is very agile and steers with precision and comfort. I hate when people try say this isn't a "sporty car". Yeah, you're right. It's a big, comfortable, luxurious family car. I don't want it to be "sporty" - whatever that means. I bought the 630d with an xDrive and handling on wet, icy twisty roads is amazing. I always feel secure. Fuel consumption in the mountains never dips below 43mpg. On the motorway I easily get 53mpg+, even once getting 55mpg. I picked nearly every extra option there was to pick, so I have things like rear wheel steering which is invaluable where I live. Also got remote parking, self parking etc. As far as I am concerned, there is no finer car that can match this for comfort, practicality, fuel consumption and honestly just sheer driving pleasure. Plus it's beautiful. I love the way mine looks. Thanks for your review. Hope everyone else who bought one loves it and everyone else considering one - just buy it. I promise you, you will love it

[@Mentis-de]

". It doesn't look like every car parked in every car park. " Then you never have visted Munich or any big city in southern Germany. Where a the latest 5 series or A6 is so common like sand on the beach. Sadly a 6GT don't stand out much here ^^

[@MYJ61]

I bought a 2018 640i GT xDrive in the US in August. It is a big car as you say, but on a long trip it just goes. I returned 30.2 mpg on my last trip. Very happy with the mileage, power and ride quality. Over all very satisfied. Great in depth review!

[@LukeTPZ]

That’s 36.3mpg in UK/Imperial gallons (4.5 litres).

[@abc67]

I always found the BMW 6 GT an intriguing car, but I have to say I am more and more convinced it is a great choice. I wish there was an hybrid engine available, a 645e like there will be for the X5. Thank you autogefühl, you make the best reviews, always!

[@moiggc]

Thank you for your objective look at this car Thomas. I wish more journalists would do what you do!

[@autogefuehl]

Please recommend:)

[@kitkat5337]

Yes, I never really took to the 6er GT either - but the later ones seem better looking... looking forward to watching 'Full Length'. Must get a cup of tea, and sit down and watch. Looking forward to see how that plays out! Many thanks Thomas.

[@autogefuehl]

Enjoy 😉

[@DarcersTech]

As much as some people hate them, I really like these cars. Just a shame there is no hybrid option.

[@gregsullivan7408]

Not too fussed about hybrid - the small engines (2L petrol & diesel) are very efficient, and no expensive battery to replace.

[@abc67]

The X5 is getting the 45e which is a 3.0 V6 + electric, I think it would be perfect for the 6GT, a 645e GT.

[@DarcersTech]

Greg Sullivan Look at Toyota batteries. They last pretty much as long as the car. Batteries are not a problem. Automatic transmission, turbochargers, fuel injectors, etc. are though.

[@rodmanser7573]

@@abc67 BMW doesn't make V-6's. They are I-6 in this case the B58 is standard with its twin scroll turbo - boost for all speed ranges.

[@nickduplooy8845]

I love my 535 GT. It's the perfect SUV for someone who really doesn't want an SUV (but kinda needs one)

[@teamkolumbix1718]

The best design ever. Sadly people sublimate their unfortunate lives with any kind of sporty / posh saloons. But this one - is indeed THE harmony. Definitely not for those i mentioned.

[@BobBrown.]

I think the 630d is the perfect pick out of the line up. Good fuel economy and decent power and torque.

[@fisher_price]

Did you make a mistake by mixing axels around? Front is 7 series and back is 5 series right

[@rico4you]

A GT review Good and Total! Now that remote parking needs to be tweaked more...looking forward to Thomas speaking to the Key and car reacting!

[@badgastein2]

Very good review. I have the 640 i . Take a look at the 840 i coupe 4 door and then wonder why the the 640i is £30,000 less to buy.

[@Undisputed_King]

6 series is much more practical

[@SixtyEightSeventySix]

I like BMW's GT series. Thank you for your good review.

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks

[@Mirciulikkk]

except the 2GT, nobody likes that hideous tin

[@SixtyEightSeventySix]

I'd clean forgotten it...

[@thegrimmer]

How big of a difference do the active dampers and the active sway bar make in this suspension? In the us, 99% of the models are passive suspension and it's difficult to know whether to chase down a model with the active suspension

[@user-ts2ql7uk1x]

Asking the real questions. I keep trying to source one well sorted with the dynamic handling package but almost impossible.

[@AbstractJan]

1000th like ;) This 6GT series design ages good, in time i like it more.

[@Ivchoyyyy1]

especially compared to the new toy-like models

[@maxhill9254]

Excellent review. Would you recommend the diesel or benzine engine?

Everyone hates it. It will be a legend. Luxurious and spaces. Everyone will understand it, soon. or later :)

[@peterpanimg]

The trump card is the dynamic handling package, seems didn't come included on your tester

[@bondisteve3617]

Thanks Thomas. Nice work. Very Mazda 626 . I like it.

[@-Munditimum-]

Truly enjoy your videos Thomas, great job. I wonder if people really start pushing BMW for other materials/fabrics how quickly BMW will respond. I truly like the quality and feel of SensaTec and hope to see it used more often.

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks! Already had some CEO talks, they know what's happening, that's why the concept car in Los Angeles in November 2018 was already fully vegan. It takes time in those big conservative companies though... and yes, they already have Sensatec, so they just need to push it more and further increase quality

[@-Munditimum-]

@@autogefuehl I wasn't aware the LA 2018 was a Vegan showcase!!! I must have been asleep!? What vehicle was the focus? Thanks for your reply above Thomas! Cheers.

[@akramkour1015]

To be honest.... I'm not a big fan of the 6s GT... In this car's category i'd take the Audi A7 or A5 ...... But considering the practicality of this car still impressive

[@gregsullivan7408]

I agree - I do think there is a little bit more leg room than the short wheelbase 7-series. Could the seats be a bit higher off the floor, which would make one's legs a bit more vertical, giving more room?

[@linusNa]

If you sit in 7er and then inside of the 6er Gt fond you will Think the 7er is a Golf Believe me 😂😂

[@gettuget]

Try to manually lower the tailgate and then close it normally. Next time it opens up to the location you set it manually. i.e. you don't need to press any button for it to remember the previous setting.

[@autogefuehl]

I tried that, didnt work. Thus the shown setting in the idrive

[@autogefuehl]

I ll retry though and get back

[@autogefuehl]

The official bmw documents also only suggest the height limit via infotainment, at which exact bmw did u try that?

[@gettuget]

ok! my G30 5 series sedan seems to work like that, weird

[@autogefuehl]

Interesting. I ll retry tonight

[@HAJIMAY]

Love your reviews

[@autogefuehl]

[@kurylenkoolga1102]

All modern cars have so much plastic lift the hood and see only plastic,but I think this is the purpose of breaking up as quickly as possible to pay much for repairs!After Audi . BMWs were the most expensive to maintain and of course the top is completed by Mercedes! But...... at least Mercedes has something special:)

[@SquireJethro]

Excelllent in depth review! I have a question. The instrument cluster looks different than the model I looked at in the US. The bezels around the speedometer and tach are larger (not 100% LCD) in your tester. Have they been changed, or is the model you tested simply different than the US 640i?

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks! Feel free to share :) Hmm it can depend on market specifications or on a different spec

[@Hakbak33]

I’ve drove a 530 GT beautiful and very comfortable car, my next bmw will be a 640GT

[@jamiep61]

[@94mikyyy]

How is this coupe and ford mondeo isn't? For me they look pretty similar from side view

[@RobertLeBlancPhoto]

Is there the ability to have the speed display not turn red until you're at least 10 mph over the limit?

[@autogefuehl]

I dont think so

[@masterrazvan]

I like the new BMW 6 series GT.

[@rennison1211]

Must say... Thomas has morphed into a native English speaker over the years..

[@autogefuehl]

highly appreciated my friend

[@MattsCarsMusic]

The 6 Series needs a redesign and it should get the BMW voice activation soon cause that's what makes the newer BMW's fun IMO. Great video Autogefühl team!

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks 🙏

[@netweed09]

Hate the 'step silhouette', sorry. I want the flush grilles back for the 5 refresh!!

[@deyoviC]

BMW back at it again with the disproportional body to wheel ratio. The wheels look so small it makes me wanna quit the video. Glad Thomas's great review covered that up.

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks 🙏

[@goldzahnjackson8729]

I didn‘t like the car first but when i drove i started to understand. It drives very well and offers more place than the 5 series, but handles better than suvs. Still i prefer my 540i, it‘s for sure sportier.

[@goldzahnjackson8729]

I drove an x4 and the Handling was not bad, but the car was not comfy. I was surprised how stiff it was. Sadly i couldnt drive an x6 but i believe that the 6 series will do a better job on the Autobahn. Can‘t imagine an suv to be as silent as the 6 series

[@johncollymore1697]

+Don Zonderson - I agree about ride, I test drove a new X4 and an X3, and found them too stiff, the ride too firm. The low speed ride around town especially, or on back roads, shook you up unnecessarily; the road surfaces around here are really poor, sunken man-hole covers and broken tarmac everywhere. I find the 5-series rides better, in my opinion.

[@rodmanser7573]

pssst, ask your auth BMW dealer to install Carbahn ECU software if you can get 92 or 93 octane fuel. up to 28 mpg and at least 60hp more with no consequences. Some tune these B58 engines up to 600 hp without tearing into the internals.

[@receptieletoile7595]

1: You can sleep in it. 2: Can be used to relocate if you don't take furniture.

[@srdjanvukovic]

This type of space should be offered by 5 Touring.

[@RtasVadumeeKostas]

Modern bmw model names confuse me. Aren't even numbered models supposed to be coupés?

[@autogefuehl]

Their logic: uneven numbers as classic standard models, even numbers as special emotional models

[@williamclark2730]

You did a very good test You always give detailed information I am comparing this vehicle in the 7 series for the size for the comfort But I need to load things in it to I'm looking for a good handicap type Vehicle

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks 🙏

[@autogefuehl]

Or 5 series touring then

[@out_on_bail]

Can you clarify in your title - is this the new model?

[@autogefuehl]

This is the most recent 6 Series GT that was released last year

[@badgastein2]

This car is pre-facelift. When it was facelifted it ceased to be available in North America and the UK - and only the basic version is sold in Germany, but it is still in production.

[@Sandouras]

I think this looks better than the 5 itself, it just have a weird shape. But the front face looks great. The thing is... why do you need this and the 5 Touring in your range? They serve the same purpose.

[@autogefuehl]

Look at A7 and CLS... its the design obviously. And 5 Touring is not available in the US.

[@Sandouras]

@@autogefuehl But the A7 and CLS are sporty, sexy cars. Their direct competitor was the old 6 series Grand Coupe. This is something between a van and a 5 series.

[@lash9400]

Back end looks bulky and ungainly just like the previous 5 & 3 series GT

[@jawarakf]

yes, its rear bulky and ugly proven failed in previous generation, 5 & 3 series GT variants too. Yet the designers turned deaf ears ignoring feedback and public perceptions.

[@dskim9242]

Very good as a family car.

[@gefaehrte9iv278]

At first: Great review! My question is: Why do you most time take test cars with petrol engines? I think in that kind of cars, at least in europe, a modern diesel is still the way to go for most people, so a diesel test car would be a better reference object in my opinion, because it's just way more economical. Thanks!

[@autogefuehl]

Because the Diesels are not available in every country, but the petrols are. So we try to take into account as many viewers as possible.

[@autogefuehl]

However as i said in the review for european customers the 3 l D is a good choice! We had it in our 5 series touring review

[@jawarakf]

@@autogefuehl good explanation Thomas, great review.

[@kevinyoung844]

Fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@NigelRudyard]

It's a real Frankenstein's monster visually, but a great vehicle. But I'd prefer a 5, personally.

[@CaptainBlitz]

Wait didn't they kill off the 6 series entirely for the 8?

[@autogefuehl]

Coupe and Cabriolet moved from 6 to 8

[@apollian]

Unfortunately people are now looking at Electric cars, I no longer have any interest in combustion engine's. This BMW should have been a rival to the model X and Audi E-tron. Instead, it's just another excuse for governments, oil and gas companies exploitation. No thanks!

[@Mr_Cholmondley_Warner]

I don’t like the car but German engineering is the best, Germans should be proud. I wish more things where still made in England.

[@CT37BN]

For a premium car the look is very disappointing. From the rear 3/4, the thing just looks out of place and gives the car an ungainly heavy back end. Old circular dials are actually better than new look 2019 hard to read ones.

[@systemfails]

İ love all BMWs

[@Adamm115]

Exterior looks like it came out of the 90s

[@lieutenantcandlewax]

I like it.

[@darius2640]

it looks a bit ugly from the back but nothing as gopping as the old 5 series gt, everything else about it I love, I think I just found the perfect car I was looking for, comfortable like 7 series, powerful and tunable like M340i, spacious like X6, I can fit a whole mountainbike with wheels on and everything like nothing and best of all its not a wagon or an SUV, both of which I dislike with a passion. when i was a kid my aunt had a mazda 626, it was exactly the same concept as this, looks like a sedan but has a huge hatchback, just a lot worse in every other way like interior quality was godawful, but not anymore with this, that said I think she paid max $1000 for that back then and this is like $40000 now, so thats a dealbreaker, but Im happy bmw makes such weird niche products and am looking forward to buying it for $4000 in year 2035
