For Two-plus-two that can be a GT or a sports coupe according to the mood you are in. Excellent engines.
Against To call it a two-plus-two is being generous - space is tight in the back. Rearward visibility is at a premium, too.

Creamy pace and the ability to traverse continents in style, but it comes at a price, and the Jaguar XK is better.

Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
BMW’s 6 Series combines the best of both worlds, being both an accomplished grand tourer and an involving drive. Few are likely to find the entry-level, six-cylinder petrol engine lacking, but BMW still offers a wide choice of powerplants.
The engines range from that creamy smooth 3.0-litre straight-six to a high-revving 5.0-litre V10 in the hugely rapid M6. There’s even a diesel, BMW putting its flagship 3.0-litre twin-turbo diesel powerplant into the 635d model to create a very desirable long-legged continent-crushing machine.
The bold styling divides opinion, but the 6’s lines clothe a surprisingly practical car. The rear seats are useable for children and the boot is vast in both the coupe or convertible – the drop-top able to carry two sets of golf clubs even with the roof down.
The M6 is a real Porsche 911-chaser with 500bhp on tap, but the 6 makes more sense at the bottom end of the range. None are cheap, though.
