The New BMW 6 Series Convertible Makes its World Debut
Ever since the original 6 Series graced our roads, enthusiasts were tantalized by the notion of a convertible version of that automotive icon. For enthusiasts everywhere the wait is over. The all-new 6 Series Convertible makes its world debut on January 5th at the 2004 NAIAS in Detroit, Michigan. Drop-dead gorgeous looks, state-of-the-art technology, outstanding performance and unlimited driving pleasure with only the blue sky above - these are the ingredients that await four passengers.
Performance
The 645Ci Convertible is first and foremost a BMW, so dynamic performance comes standard. It shares its 4.4-liter V8 with the 645Ci Coupe - horsepower is 325, maximum torque is 330 lb-ft. Infinite adjustment of virtually all relevant parameters such as valve timing (double-VANOS), valve lift (VALVETRONIC) and intake manifold runner length enables the engine to adjust instantly to any demand and requirement.
Combined with one of three 6-speed transmissions available on the new model - manual, STEPTRONIC automatic or BMW's Formula 1-inspired Sequential Manual Gearbox (SMG). The new Convertible will reached 60 MPH in about six seconds on its way to an electronically limited top-speed of 155 mph.
Interior
Within the luxurious interior the driving experience is enhanced by the standard DVD-based On-board Navigation System. This system is controlled, along with the sound system and other features, by BMW's innovative iDrive. The choice of sound systems includes the standard 8-speaker system or the optional Logic 7 system, which includes a 6-disc CD changer.
BMW's highly innovative optional Head-Up Display is available as an option. It projects important driving information directly into the driver's line of vision. This includes the current road speed, navigation instructions, speed limits and feedback from the Check/Control. The virtual image provided by the Head-Up Display is presented in front of the driver seemingly on the road ahead, and allows the driver to view the information without taking their eyes off the road.
Noise and Heat Insulation
Every convertible experience begins with the top. The newly developed roof on the 6 Series Convertible captures the look of the Coupe. It dampens exterior noise just as effectively as it braves the wind and weather, with a noise- and heat-insulating layer made of PUR plastic between the rubberized outer layer and the inner lining. The result is a very low noise level within the Convertible, allowing relaxed conversation even at high speeds.
Opening with full power operation, the soft top disappears completely within a matter of seconds beneath the firm cover on the roof compartment. The driver is able to open or close the fully-automated top from the cockpit simply by pressing a button or turning the key in the door lock. You can even do this when setting off or in stop-and-go traffic up to a speed of 20 mph. All windows close in the process and the soft top locks and unlocks.
