BMW 640d Gran Coupe: 3.5.12, Palermo, Sicily Stylish four-door provides a sporting alternative to the traditional 5-series

摘要

MERCEDES-BENZ WAS THE first to do it with the genre-defining CLS. Audi followed with the A7. And now BMW, after sizing up what has developed into an important market niche, has delivered a stylish saloon and proceeded to call it a coupe. The new Gran Coupe is the third and final member of its latest 6-series line-up. It aims to offer the inherent practicality of a traditional four-door together with the style of the existing two-door 6-series coupe and cabriolet. The team of design boss Adrian van Hooydonk has, to these eyes at least, delivered one of BMWs best-looking models in years. The proportions are spot on, giving the 6-series Gran Coupe a truly elegant appearance that is sure to find wide appeal, and not only from existing BMW customers.
