MotorWeek | Road Test: 2016 BMW 640xi Gran Coupe/ 2015 435i Gran Coupe

For a lesson in automotive excess, we test the BMW 4 and 6 Series Gran Coupes.

[@CarCommercialsofthePast]

Always loved that shade of blue on BMW's.

[@Wolvesq]

The 6 gran coupe is insanely beautiful, inside and out. Unfortunately that's not the only thing about it that is insane. Eighty five (or more) thousand? Ouch.

[@lfsracer79]

4:31 They got 28.6 mpg in the 435i and only 19.5 mpg in the 640i. Obviously they weren't driven similarly...

[@daison96]

Possibly, but the 6 weighs more than the four, and he did mention the turbos work harder in the 6 than the 4--also equaling more fuel consumption.

[@rabit818]

Essentially it is a 5 door/ hatchback. Hatchback is or was a bad word or represents low rent cars. I love hatchbacks for It’s practicality

[@karinapavlova2855]

So the 640 with 315 horsepower does 0-60 in 5.3, and completes the quartee mile in 13.8. The 650i 2 door with 450 horsepower does it in 5.1 seconds, and 13.5 (as tested by them in 2012). One car has 315hp while the other has 450hp, whils they weigh pretty much the same. What is up with this?

[@Dogasus]

that means the 640i is a better buy. Extra 135 HP for only a 0.2 sec quicker 0-60 ? i'd stick w the 40i

[@gowwar491]

The 640 is much lighter

[@boy_hooya2013]

The 650i 0-60 in 4.2 and 1/4 mile in 12.5

[@jaegood]

Get the panemerra instead

[@tebogoradikoro4391]

negative man all cars have coupe and sedan what is he talking about saying confusion

[@upeedinalamb5297]

Lambs want a 440 with a manual transmission. One of us can fit nicely in that hatch.

[@David-kg5dk]

That's a nice silver Alpina B6 you've got there. I was under the impression Alpina wasn't offering cars in the US, or was I wrong?

[@powersurge001]

I believe they do sell their 6 and 7 series models here.

[@techstro8434]

anothr grate BMW channel i enjoy watching an listing

[@henkka3931]

BMW Camoflouge another great BMW chanell i enjoy watching and listening to

[@76carmel]

You wonder -- for those considering a 4 Series Gran Coupe; what about a more versatile 3-Series GT?

[@thelarry383]

will it kill BMW to give LED taillights?

[@zachg9065]

+Light Yagami The running lights are LED but the brake lights are not'

[@thelarry383]

ZL1Gimpelson I did specify taillights

[@zachg9065]

Light Yagami The taillights are LED but the brake lights are not. Thats what I meany by running lights.

[@mikelee7069]

+Light Yagami I have a 2015 650gc, I have led headlights and led tails. the led headlight is an option, bixenon comes as standard.

[@powersurge001]

So the 3 series GT became the 4 series Gran Coupe?

[@stangmatt66]

+Sergio B Nope. BMW offers both.

[@JASOMA]

gran Coupe is shit if i want 4 door is buy limo or touring

[@TimJoseph08031990]

Not to mention over $100,000 waste of plastic luxury that will break down and cost an arm and a leg to repair. BMWs are endless money pit vehicles.

[@mikelee7069]

+Tim Joseph theres nothing really plastic or pleather in the 6 series cars. everything is wrapped in leather, doors, center console, dash, roof is alcantara, etc. its really a nice interior.

[@TimJoseph08031990]

***** I don't have the CR-V anymore. I have the 2014 Subaru Forester Touring with EyeSight. It's better than the CR-V with Symmetrical AWD. I also don't have oil consumption issues, since I don't put a lot of miles on it.
