The above spyshot of a yet to be released facelifted BMW 6-Series confirms a rumour that has been going around for quite sometime – BMW is going to put diesels into it’s grand tourer, the BMW 6-Series.
With 286 horsepower and 580Nm of torque from as low as 1,750rpm, the BMW 635d would be the 6-Series with the most torque, even beating the flagship BMW M6′s 5.0 litre V10 normally aspirated petrol engine. What gave away the oil burner under the hood was a shot of the 6-Series instrument panel which has the word Diesel on it.
Together with the facelift comes some changes with the other models – the 630i will be replaced with a 635i, or perhaps retain it’s name, but what’s important is the 3.0 litre normally aspirated engine will be replaced with the award-winning 3.0 litre twin turbo gasoline engine that made it’s debut in the E92 3 Coupe. The V8 6-Series will likely remain mostly the same.

Wow, fast car with oil saver, fantastic by BMW. Almost a perfect combination since petrol prices never seem to come down. Since European countries love diesels these days, i'm sure this is going to fit perfectly into their market. So what's it's 0-100 dash record anyway?
about 6 seconds
wahlaueh…
finally… BMW copy Gen2 head light with slight touch up…hahaa….. credit to plotong…
Kody: I bet at least the BMW light fit perfectly.. unlike my gen2.. if see very closely.. both headlamps different measurement..

Good combination of style, performance and economy. Diesel versions of sedans normally get the cooler all black interior too!
