Our German sister magazine...
Our German sister magazine, Auto Bild, carried out the trials on a saloon, and then compared it to a five-year-old Volkswagen Golf MkIV. The results showed the VW to be a safer vehicle in nearly every respect, with more severe damage to the head, chest and feet of the dummy in the Dacia. However, the test has caused controversy.
Now BMW has even more...
Now BMW has even more six appeal! The firm has launched a range of sporty upgrades for its 6-Series and X6 line-ups, all designed to boost their driving dynamics and visual appeal.
The Edition Sport package is available across the 6-Series range, and comprises a new bonnet, 19-inch alloys and sports suspension. The 650i also adds a sports exhaust.
Seven colours are available, while the cabin gets brushed aluminium trim. Prices start at £53,445 for the 630i, rising to £65,820 for the 650i Convertible. For even more sporting appeal, a competition package is now available for the M6, which includes lowered suspension.
A redesigned bonnet and lightweight M Sport double-spoke wheels complete the changes. The pack adds £2,180 to the M6ð€™s £84,500 price tag.
Finally, the X6 has a new flagship: the xDrive 50i. Powered by a 480bhp twin-turbo V8, it hits 0-62mph in 5.4 seconds, emits 299g/km of CO2 and costs £53,930.
