<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The presentation of the BMW 6 Series  Gran Coupe sees BMW venturing into a new vehicle segment once again.  The third model in the BMW 6 Series line-up follows in the tyre tracks  of the Convertible and Coupe, and is the first four-door Coupe in the  history of the brand. The athletic elegance of the car’s design  makes it a particularly handsome addition to the range. Powerful  engines and sophisticated chassis technology combine to produce an  impressively dynamic driving experience. And the BMW 6 Series  Gran Coupe also makes its mark with exclusive equipment features and a  level of practicality unmatched by its premium four-door Coupe rivals. <b><span style="font-size: x-small;">More Official Press Release + Gallery After the Jump<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">.</span></span></b></span><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
