So we got a 2012 BMW 640i Gran Coupe


The “four-door coupe” trend continues, with BMW throwing their hat in the field. Essentially a flattened version of the 5-Series, or a four-door version of the 6-Series, whichever way you see it, the 640i Gran Coupe is the best-looking BMW sedan in the current range.

The most interesting thing about this specific car is that it is a one-of-a-kind example with a custom matte paintjob. This was the show car used for display at the local showroom launch event.

Inside, the custom job continues with a white-and-brown upholstery job that covers everything from the alcantara roof to the leather-covered ashtray.

Even in so-called “coupe” form, the 6-Series remains reasonably practical, with a good-sized boot and decent rear legroom.

However, the back only seats two, thanks to the rear a/c console that extends all the way into the back seat. Yet BMW insists on calling it a “4+1” seater. If push comes to shove, we guess an extra person could stretch and sit in the middle, with the cool a/c air directed right at their nether regions.

The Gran Coupe is an attractive car, even without this kind of uber-expensive BMW Individual treatment done to it. And it remains entertaining to drive, just like every other BMW. More in the full review.

  1. “However, the back only seats four” – I guess it should be two.

  2. loving it

  3. I would kill to get that interior, God I like it …. btw, no plans to hold a new DA meeting soon? maybe after Eid would be nice?

  4. Interiors look the classiest. And I must say it sure is the best looking BMW in the current lineup. Unfortunately their current pricing is a bit too optimistic

      This was the launch-event car. Anyone can order it in this spec if they’re willing to pay and then wait.

  6. A/C directed at their ‘nether regions’!!…
