BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo (G32): engines, trims and buying advice
BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo (G32) — a luxurious liftback, produced from 2017 to 2023 and replacing the 5 Series GT. It combines long-distance comfort, spacious interiors, and a large boot. We look at the engines, trims, and what to check before buying a used one.
6 Series Gran Turismo in brief
Gran Turismo — a high-roof liftback with a large boot (around 600 litres) and spacious rear seats. Technically, it's close to the 5 Series, but it's more comfortable for long journeys and offers better comfort.
This model appeals to buyers who value space but aren't after an SUV. It's a refined, luxurious car, not a sports car.
Which version to choose
Produced in one generation (G32), refreshed in 2020: it received a revised front end, updated headlights, and improved multimedia, while diesel engines became mild hybrids.
In the used market, it's best to choose a post-refresh car — it's more modern and has better equipment. Earlier cars are cheaper but still in good condition.
Engines and gearboxes
Petrol: 630i (around 258 hp) and 640i xDrive (around 340 hp). Diesel: 620d (around 190 hp), 630d and 640d xDrive (from around 265 to 340 hp). Most cars come with xDrive all-wheel drive.
All engines are paired with an 8-speed automatic gearbox. This is one of the best of its era — smooth and reliable.
What to check when buying a used 6 Series Gran Turismo
Check the rear air suspension (if fitted). Over time, the air springs and compressor can fail, and repairs can be expensive. The car should not lift unevenly or sag on one side.
For diesel cars, check the DPF and EGR systems, especially if the car has mostly been driven in the city. Ask for the service history and check if the engine oil has been changed on time.
Test all the electronics: iDrive, cameras, sensors, and comfort features. The software in newer cars should be up to date.
