BMW B6 xDrive Gran Coupe Delivers Additional Power

IRVINE, Calif. - Feb. 22, 2015 - PRLog -- Irvine, Calif. – Irvine BMW is excited to confirm, the new 2016 model year BMW ALPINA B6 xDrive Gran Coupe gains subtle BMW enhancements and benefits.

·      BMW North America unveils the 2016 BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe.

·      The four-door Gran Coupe, built by the Buchloe-based automaker, brings some small design updates
and an increase in power output.

·      Just like the recent BMW 6 Series facelift, the ALPINA B6 Gran Coupe features a more-dynamic front spoiler and a subtly-revised kidney grill.

·      The design of the hood has also been improved with new character chines, lending the new B6 xDrive Gran Coupe an even more powerful appearance.

The design and shape of the new ALPINA front spoiler ensures the effective flow of sufficient air to the radiator modules of the performance cooling-system, including inter-cooler, water and oil.  The integrated splitter directs air over and around rather than underneath the vehicle.

The 4.4 liter V8 Bi-Turbo V-8 engine now delivers 600 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and maximum torque of 590 lb-ft at only 3,500 rpm (all figures preliminary). The increase in output of 60 hp over the 2015 model has been achieved through extensive rework of the air intake ducting and air filter housing, with enhancements to the fuel supply system. The new B6 xDrive Gran Coupe is capable of a maximum speed of 200 mph (electronically limited). 0 – 60 mph acceleration time is in 3.6 seconds (preliminary), fastest-accelerating BMW ALPINA model ever developed.

Irvine BMW's helpful and knowledgeable staff, expert factory-trained technicians, state-of-the-art service department, comprehensive parts department and one of the nation’s largest selections of new, used and certified pre-owned BMWs have made Irvine BMW a landmark in Southern California’s automotive landscape.
