Otto’s BMW Dealer near Glen Mills knows that just a few short months ago Bavarian Motor Works unveiled the revolutionary 2013 BMW M6 Gran Coupe BMW at a highly-anticipated private event in Germany that only a precious few attendees were granted the privilege of gracing.

As promised by officials at BMW dealers, the 2013 performance version of the 6 Series is to be released this summer. True to its technologically-savvy nature, BMW actually unveiled the new M6 to the world via the web in December of 2012. Early this year, in January, the official public debut took place at the Detroit Auto Show.

The exterior design of the new M6 is extremely visually appealing – it manages to exude power, prestige, sportiness, luxury, and comfort all at the same time. It borrows and blends design cues from both the current BMW M6 and the 6 Series Gran Coupe. Many reviewers have agreed that this M6 could easily be the best looking M6 not only so far, but maybe even the best looking M car in the fleet.

The much-buzzed about ceramic brakes may or may not be incorporated into the final M6 design; they were featured on the M6 that debuted in Germany.

The 2013 M6 Gran Coupe is powered by the same engine system that powers the latest version of the BMW M5 and M6: a 560 horsepower M TwinPower Turbo V8 engine mated to a high torque 7-speed M-Double Clutch transmission (M-DCT). Maximum speed is 155 miles per hour and the acceleration rate is 0 to 62 miles per hour in a mere 4.5 seconds.

Rumors have been swirling since the debut about whether a manual transmission will be offered for customers in the United States.

For more information or to test drive a new M6, visit your local BMW dealer today.

BMW 640i xDrive Gran Coupe vs. Audi A7

Published: June 6, 2013

Posted in BMW Cars

Otto’s BMW Dealership, home of a wide selection of new BMW cars near Exton PA knows that BMW is making an attempt to attract new customers in the U.S. by performing a driving comparison between the Audi A7 and BMW 640i XDrive. BMW is calling the event the “BMW Ultimate Driving Experience.”

The other comparison test drive being performed is the BMW 750Li compared with the Mercedes S Class vehicle. “Both cars catering to a segment beyond sporting, executive expresses, but both the 640 Gran Coupe and A7 occupy a new niche segment of four door, four place coupes showcasing sophisticated styling and performance pedigrees. And with Audi adapting the additional utility of a rear hatch on the A7,” says BMWBlog.com.

Both cars have 6 cylinder engines with fuel injection, but BMW sports a twin turbo VANOS, Valvetronic and inline cylinders and the Audi A4 has an Eaton supercharger as well as variable valve timing.

According to BMWBlog, “the compact V6 Audi utilizes isn’t an optimum configuration for vibration and aural pleasantness, but a balance shaft and aggressive mufflers damp the negative aspects of the 90 degree V angle in its six. The inline six BMW employs is the familiar N55 – a smooth powerful and highly efficient engine.”

“The 640i accelerated well – shifts in automatic mode being smooth (and often given the eight forward speeds) – in manual mode the shifts were crisp and accompanied by that fabulous mellifluous soundtrack the inline six makes. The 640i is a joy to drive and a bit more pure if ordered without xDrive. There’s a connectedness of the driving experience of the 640i to the other models in the BMW lineup,” says BMWBlog.

The BMW M6 is Not Your Average 6 Series

Published: June 4, 2013

Posted in BMW Dealer

The BMW M6 is not your average BMW you see driving down the street every day. It’s a true sports vehicle and part of its exclusivity is due to the price of the vehicle, but cost aside, the M6 is not a car for every buyer.

The M6 was launched in 1983 based on the BMW 6 Series model. The BMW 6 Series is a roomy comfortable vehicle loaded with high tech features, leather, and lots of other creature comforts. The BMW 6 Series went on a 6 year hiatus and then came back again as the E63 and E64 with their F1 inspired V10 engines. After another 3 years passed, BMW introduced an M6 model that would beat all others. “From outside of the car the noise is loud and glorious”

“The new 6 Series upon which the new F12 M6 is based is a brilliant car. It is a car that hides its size and weight better than nearly any other car on the market. Of course, it’s missing that zing, that special touch and focused aggression that M enthusiasts long for. If you fancy a track day every few weeks, you’ll want something with a wild side. Meet the 6 Series’ alter-ego brother; the angry one who throws things and tends to talk too loud,” says BMWBlog.com

BMWBlog says; “It’s no secret that BMWs are softening. That’s not necessarily to say that they are less dynamically competent – they’re not, in fact every model currently in production is quicker than its predecessor. But with each new generation, BMWs are less intimate. They whisper less in your ear, tingle your fingertips less on the wheel, and grab your backside a little less. Flying into Monterey, I wasn’t sure what to expect of BMW’s latest M car. Does it connect you intimately to the road, or isolate you from it in the name of comfort or perhaps efficiency? We drove the new M6 to find out.”

Used BMW 6 Series

Published: June 3, 2013

Posted in Used BMW

If you are in the market for quality used BMW cars in Pennsylvania, consider a pre-owned BMW 6 Series from Otto’s BMW Dealership in West Chester.

According to car experts at Edmunds.com, a used BMW 6 Series offers drivers “a phenomenal work of automotive engineering, nimble handling particularly for a larger coupe, endless power from its ultrasmooth V8, as well as elegant interior design.”

The used BMW 6 Series can be found in either a coupe or a sporty convertible version. A used BMW 645Ci coupe offers a 4.4 liter V8 engine that is mated with a manual transmission and boasts an EPA-estimated fuel efficiency rating of up to 15 miles per gallon on the highway and 23 miles per gallon in the city. Standard features include; a navigation system, Bluetooth compatibility, side and curtain airbags, stability control, and traction control.

A used BMW 645Ci convertible from model year is powered by a 4.4 liter V8 engine that is mated to a manual transmission and boasts an EPA-estimated fuel efficiency rating of up to 13 miles per gallon in the city and 21 miles per gallon on the highway. Standard features include a navigation system, Bluetooth compatibility, side and curtain airbags, stability control, traction control. The BMW 645Ci is essentially the same as the coupe model, save its fuel efficiency rating and its price.

If you are in the market for a slightly used BMW 6 Series, consider the 2012 BMW 6 Series Convertible. According to Edmunds.com when the 2012 6 Series was launched, “Not only does the 2012 BMW 6 Series Convertible share much of its DNA with the 5 and 7 Series sedans, it rolled out of the same production plant in Dingolfing, Germany. It would also seem to share a similar sort of character: bigger and more powerful than the car it replaces, with a greater emphasis on technology and less adventurous styling.”
