THE APPEAL
Unveiled to the world in 2003, the BMW 6 series was available as a coupe or convertible.

Available with a host of different power and drivetrain options, it was BMW fanatics couldn’t get enough of it.
This particular example makes use of the straight-six 3.0 engine that produces 254bhp and would hunt down 62mph in 6.5 seconds, 0.9 seconds slower than its V8 counterpart but consumes much less fuel, achieving approximately 30 miles to the gallon.
