Name: M Sport Package
Description: 19" Light alloy Double-spoke wheels style 351M with performance run-flat tires (19" x 8.5", 245/40 R19 front and 19" x 9.0", 275/35 R19 rear); LED foglights; M steering wheel; Aerodynamic Kit; Shadowline exterior trim; Anthracite Alcantara headliner (coupes only); Increased top speed limiter

Name: Lighting Package
Description: LED high- and low- beam headlights with Adaptive Light Control (ALC), which progressively swivels the headlights in the direction of the driver's intended path, calculated by feedback from sensors for steering angle, vehicle speed and yaw rate. ALC functions when the car is moving at higher speeds; LED Corona Rings (lights that encircle the headlights); Cornering lights which throw a fixed beam of light to the side of the car in which either the steering wheel is being turned or the turn signal has been activated. The cornering lights function when the car is moving at 35 mph or slower
Mechanical
Name: Integral Active Steering
Description: Integral Active Steering varies the front steering ratio (amount of steering wheel rotation required to turn a given corner), based on vehicle speed and other driving conditions. It reduces steering wheel rotations (therefore reducing effort) required during low speed maneuvering and increases steering wheel rotations required during high speed maneuvering (the latter reducing the likelihood the driver will turn sharply at high speed, thereby helping maintain high speed stability). Additionally, when the front wheels are turned, Integral Active Steering turns the rear wheels as much as 2.5 degrees opposite phase (opposite direction of the front wheels) at lower vehicle speeds or same phase (same direction of the front wheels) at higher vehicle speeds. The opposite phase motion reduces the turning circle, while the same phase motion enhances the car's high speed stability.

Safety
Name: ACC Stop & Go + Active Driving Assistant
Description: Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go operates as normal cruise control until it senses a slower moving vehicle directly ahead. At that time, the cruise control matches the speed of the 6 Series to that of the slower moving vehicle, maintaining a driver selected, pre-set distance between the two vehicles. The Stop & Go function will bring the 6 Series to a complete stop if the vehicle ahead stops. Upon application of the accelerator, Active Cruise Control allows the car start moving again. Once there's no longer any nearby slower moving traffic ahead, the cruise control resumes initial speed set by the driver, continuing to use the pre-set selections initially made by the driver.; Active Driving Assistant which includes Forward Collision Warning, Pedestrian Warning, City Collision Mitigation and Lane Departure Warning, which when the car is moving at highway speeds, senses any course deviations that could cause the car to cross the road's lane markings while the turn signal is not in use. If such a deviation is identified, the driver is alerted with a vibration sent through the steering wheel. This feature can be deactivated by the driver.
Name: Parking Assistant
Description: When engaged, Parking Assistant surveys the size of available nearby parking spaces to determine which ones are of adequate size for the 6 Series. When a space of adequate size is found by Parking Assistant and selected by the driver, this feature will provide all steering inputs required to maneuver the car into that space. In a combined effort with Parking Assistant, the driver must select the appropriate gear and control the accelerator and brakes to park the car.
Name: Night Vision W/Pedestrian Detection
Description: Night Vision with Pedestrian Detection utilizes an infrared camera that monitors a range reaching 980 feet ahead. The camera detects objects within its range and the images of these objects are displayed on the screen located in the center of the dashboard. This feature can also detect a pedestrian up to 300 feet ahead and determine that person's direction of movement. If a pedestrian is detected and appears to be moving towards the road, a visual warning appears in the display screen.

The 2015 model year offered a range of trim levels, engine options, and customization features to cater to a variety of preferences.
Technical Specifications

It boasted a long hood, flowing lines, and a low-slung stance that exuded sportiness and sophistication. The dimensions varied slightly depending on the body style, with the coupe being the most compact and the Gran Coupe offering more interior space.
Powering the BMW 6 Series were a range of potent engines, including inline-six, V8, and V12 options.

The entry-level model typically featured a smooth and efficient inline-six engine, delivering a balance of power and fuel efficiency. For those seeking more performance, V8 and V12 engines were also available, providing exhilarating acceleration and a thrilling soundtrack. Each engine variant was meticulously engineered to complement the 6 Series' chassis dynamics, ensuring a harmonious driving experience.

The 2015 BMW 6 Series lineup consisted of multiple trim levels, each offering a unique combination of features and luxury amenities.

The higher trim levels often included premium leather upholstery, advanced infotainment systems, and performance-oriented enhancements such as larger wheels and upgraded brakes.
Design
The design of the BMW 6 Series 2015 was a testament to BMW's commitment to crafting vehicles that are both visually appealing and aerodynamically efficient. The long hood, short overhangs, and muscular lines gave the 6 Series a sense of purpose and presence on the road. Inside, the cabin exuded luxury, with high-quality materials, intuitive controls, and a driver-focused layout that emphasized the sporty nature of the vehicle.
Handling
One of the standout characteristics of the BMW 6 Series 2015 was its exceptional handling capabilities. The precise steering, well-balanced chassis, and sophisticated suspension system worked in harmony to deliver a dynamic driving experience. Whether tackling tight corners or cruising on the open highway, the 6 Series offered a level of confidence and control that few vehicles in its class could match.
Key Differences Between Generations
In 2015, there were two generations of the BMW 6 Series available: the third-generation F12/F13 (2011-2018) and the fourth-generation G32 (2017-present). The key differences between these generations lay in their design, technology, and performance characteristics.
The F12/F13 generation retained the classic grand tourer styling cues that had defined the 6 Series for years. Its design was elegant and timeless, with flowing lines and a sleek profile that exuded sophistication. The technology features were advanced for its time, with options for adaptive LED headlights, a heads-up display, and a high-resolution infotainment system.

Performance-wise, the F12/F13 generation offered a range of potent engines, with the top-spec M6 model boasting a high-revving V8 engine that delivered thrilling acceleration. The G32 generation, on the other hand, focused more on a balance of performance and efficiency, with the introduction of hybrid powertrains and lightweight construction techniques.
In conclusion, the BMW 6 Series 2015 represented a pinnacle of luxury and performance in its class. With a range of engine options, trim levels, and customization features, the 6 Series catered to a diverse audience of enthusiasts. Whether seeking exhilarating performance or refined comfort, the 6 Series delivered a driving experience that was truly exceptional.
The best way to check a car, in addition to an on-site inspection, is to purchase a Carfax and NVMtis report – leading services providing information about vehicles.

We deliver cars using maritime transport for efficiency and safety. After processing the necessary documents, we transport the car to the nearest port, where it is loaded onto a ship for secure delivery to the destination. For the final leg of delivery from the port to the customer's home, we use ground transportation in the form of car carriers. Our process ensures reliable and timely delivery of your car.
Throughout the entire delivery process, our cars undergo thorough protection. They are insured for the entire transportation period, ensuring safety and coverage of potential risks. Additionally, to prevent damage and preserve the exterior, we use car covers, and inside the car, we install moisture absorbers. These measures ensure the preservation of cars in excellent condition throughout the entire journey to the customer.
To participate in a car auction in the USA or Canada, you need to register on our website, make a small deposit (a mandatory requirement for all auctions), and then specify the desired maximum bid for the car. If the car is sold for the amount you specified or even less, you will become its owner. In some auctions, you may also need to wait for the seller's approval of the final bid.
