About the BMW F13
The third-generation 6 Series arrived in 2011 as the F13 coupe, alongside the F12 convertible and the F06 Gran Coupe. Designed under Adrian van Hooydonk, it replaced the E63 with sleeker proportions and a more driver-focused cabin built around the iDrive system. Power came from turbocharged six-cylinder and V8 engines paired with an 8-speed automatic gearbox, with xDrive all-wheel drive available on most models and the M6 delivering genuine supercar pace. Elegant, refined and effortlessly fast, the F13 remains one of BMW’s most desirable grand tourers.
