Some BMWs become legends. Others not so much. The BMW 6-Series Coupe? Don’t expect that one to make the history books.
The two-door hardtop 6-Series Coupe quietly slipped from production last February, BMW confirmed to Road & Track.
Don’t worry. The 2018 6-Series Gran Coupe and convertible is still available and being made, and you can still get the two door hardtop off the lot, but it won’t be rolling off assembly lines any longer.
And it’s unclear if BMW plans to bring it back.
Lack of Market Demand
Our BMW technicians can certainly understand why. The car was a mix of worlds that simply didn’t belong.
Or, as the Drive puts it:
“In the presence of the more practical Gran Coupe and the open-air thrills of the Convertible, it’s not hard to see why modern 6-Series customers might see the Coupe as a weird ‘worst of both worlds’ offering. Structural rigidity? People who care about such things aren’t likely to be looking at large, grand tourers such as the 6-Series, anyways.”
So a moment of silence for the dead two door hardtop sedan. Now let’s all rev our engines for the 2018 6-Series Gran Coupe and convertible: beautiful cars that better serve their markets.
