Local News: BMW 6 Series Convertible Launched

Performance Motors Limited (PML), the official distributor of BMW cars and motorcycles in Singapore today launches the new BMW 6 Series Convertible in grand style with the crème de la crème of Singapore’s elite in attendance. The celebration, an invitation-only event, is being held at the lavish, expansive and picturesque waterfront enclave of Reflections at Keppel Bay, soon to be Singapore’s most exclusive locale.

During the celebration, BMW’s patrons, motoring enthusiasts and special guests will be treated to an exclusive evening of fine entertainment whilst they sip on champagne, signature cocktails and the finest canapés at the uniquely themed event that reflects the power-boat inspired designs of the new BMW 6 Series convertible.

Set amidst the panoramic views of the marina, the evening will see BMW’s special guests come together to experience and celebrate the Power to Cruise like never before - truly making it a memorable celebration for the motoring cognoscenti with a discerning understanding of design, luxury and sophistication.

Capable of offering a luxurious yet dynamic driving experience, the new BMW 6 Series Convertible is reflected in the athletic elegance and sense-tingling sportiness of its exterior design. A long, sweeping bonnet, set-back passenger compartment, long wheelbase and flat waistline combine to create the proportions typical of a BMW convertible. The precise interplay of eye-catching lines and meticulously sculpted surfaces help to give the new BMW 6 Series Convertible its arresting looks. The new BMW 6 Series Convertible also displays its dynamic character in its front end design. The large, slightly forward-slanting BMW kidney grille – its “shark nose” – gives the car a sense of surging forward, while a broad air intake, strikingly contoured bonnet and muscular wheel arches hint at its powerful engine technology and impressive roadholding. High quality chrome elements positioned on the outer edges of the front apron further accentuate the width of the car. The foglamps consisting of a string of three LED units are placed in front of these chrome elements.

The standard xenon headlights of the new BMW 6 Series Convertible pick up on the brand’s familiar “twin round” look. The daytime running lights take the form of LED light rings, whose bright white light illuminates the distinctive front end look. A horizontal light strip below the daytime running lights, meanwhile, performs direction indicator duties.

Uninterrupted, flowing lines lend the silhouette of the BMW 6 Series Convertible a sweeping elegance. Powerful curves mimicking the natural movement of waves give the car’s side view a natural athleticism. The hallmark BMW swage line at door handle level is spawned in the front wheel arch gill – which houses the side indicator – and extends all the way back into the rear lights.

Another character line is released from the bulge of the front wing, stretching powerfully over the front wheel like a wave before dropping down and continuing horizontally towards the rear. Together with the swage line, it creates a dynamic wedge shape which emphasizes the car’s forward-surging character.

PML will be offering the BMW 640i and 650i Convertible. Prices starts from SGD377,800 and SGD422,800 respectively.
