The 2018 BMW 640i Gran Turismo goes for practicality and performance. We take it out for a full road test. Find us on your TV @ www.motorweek.org/about/statio...
So they made sort of a wagon/SUV type car based from a 4door which originated as a 2 door. Correct me if I'm wrong, but only from the Germans. It's sleek looking they probably wanted something that was a little bigger to compete with the Model S and A7. But unique in its own way also.
First things first, what are these small lights that light up just after the normal brake lights? Extra-bright brake lights, maybe? Two-stage brake lights, maybe? Because I've seen them in other BMWs too! The M3 F80 and the M4 also have these lights! Any ideas? Also, the shifter shifted itself into P?? What is that?? And by saying "A la carte" you mean BMWs Connected Services, am I right? Say what you will about the looks, but the space inside this car is absolutely huge! I mean, compared to the X6, the 6-Series GT is more dignified and roomier at the same time! I say "dignified" because I find this design more attractive than its predecessor, the 5-Series GT! The front end looks sharper, like a BMW should, but the rear end is better looking than before! It's far from beautiful, but at least it's a step forward, especially when compared to the hideous X6 and the new X4! Although, I think the name should still be the 5-Series! Even numbers in the BMW line-up have always been associated with coupé and convertible models! BMW has made the same mistake before, with the 2-Active/Gran Tourer! It should be called the 1-Active/Gran Tourer, because in the existing way, it dilutes the historical 02 code and the small coupé blood line recently resurrected by the 2-Series Coupé!
Yes, most, if not all, BMWs have additional brake lights that light up in aggressive or panic stops. It’s an extra safety feature. If the electronic shifter is in manual mode (pulled to the left) and you push the park button, the shifter moves back to its normal position to the right. By “a la carte,” they mean that some options on BMWs are not in packages. While most models have packages like Technology package or Sport package, you can order things like heated seats, satellite radio, or Apple car play by themselves, stand alone, a la carte.
To make the care seem roomy, there is like zero tumblehome. So when you look at it from the front, the windshield reminds me of Megamind's forehead... Having said that, I think it would have, with 3 or 4 inches of extra ground clearance, some fender flairs and bigger wheels, this would have made a much nicer looking X6 than the one they are selling.
It's unbelievable how much launch control makes BMW accelerate better for posting times. Try it without the launch, and you will loose at least 1 second in the 0-60, and the shifts won't be as crisp.
I have had to 6 series before old one from the eighties and a new one from the 2000's What is this thing supposed to be a wish I didn't need a wagon. There's only two German wagons in the USA
I'm a BMW fan and i have to agree. The 5 GT was also hideous. Inside was spectacular and I do mean spectacular, but the exterior is just plain hideous.
Nah actually not. Got the 640i x drive and if you're putting 22 inch alpina rims on it tint the window and get a carbon black metallic and if you lower this ship down this car looks absolutely amazing literally one of the prettiest cars for me it looks so mafia not to forget track widening
Is there any level of ugly that Motorweek will say, "No. Just no"? My guess is "No. Just no." Let me rewrite your script: "If you want the butt-ugliest vehicle since the Pontiac Aztec, you're in luck!"
I swear BMW must be paying people off who do these car ratings.......No one appears to ever have anything bad to say about BMW.......No one wants address some of the questionable design choices, the fact that BMW has way too many cars that are basically the same with minimal tweeks, the fact that they are not very reliable and are a nightmare when it comes to maintenance and repair costs.
Oh BMW, das ist eine fugli auto...this is an insult to the Olds Vista Cruiser of yesteryear. As they say in the UK. Bring us the "estate" version of the 5 series and E class, preferably in the M and AMG trim...
How come video review setup is so akward? Do more of the old setup. Car intro Show engine Display numbers Complain about battery guage Cone test Real world test Terrible pun somewhere
The Honda Accord Crosstour by BMW.
mfmf100 ZDX lol
C'mon man don't give the Honda a bad name. At least the Honda has a bit of style.
Darkmanx69 The cross tour was terrible Of the Styling and overall design destroyed its practicality
What about the Acura one? That remind me of the knife-handed cop from Terminator 2 :p
These GT's make Chris Bangles BMW era cars look good.
yes !!
Again it’s just Absolutely Perfect for me. And I’ll definitely be buying one this year!!!😉
It’s just Perfect for me in all areas!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Great looking car
Looks good

It's actually a 5 series
...Why are you saying turishmo?
They've definitely improved the looks of the Pacer over the years.
I wish they would offer the 5 series Touring here in the U.S., instead of this hunch back whale looking vehicle.
Mercedes does, dunno why BMW hasn`t
Quaid McIver ugliest design sorry love bmw not this one
@SPN 1 right!
The car is no longer sold in the USA.
Amazing braking!99 ft from 60 is fantastic.Should make a nice Craigslist $3000 car in 2028
The stereo scrolled through IRON MAIDEN!! "RUN TO THE HILLS!!!!"
What color is this?
I need this
Dear BMW, give this thing a mercy killing and make it a proper station wagon. Just call it an "activity vehicle", and no one will notice it's a wagon.
Yes . Wagon please bmw
Is that a Honda Crosstour? :X

When you’re in any gear other than park the lever is off to the side. When you press the “P” button the gear selector moves over
335 hp and over 4k lbs and still 0-60 in 4.8?! wow
Probably due to low gearing. But yeah, still pretty good
That's only with launched control. How many time will you actually use launch control before it breaks down.!!
BMW always underrate their cars’ hp numbers, like many other german manufacturers
Lol not that fast for a turbo 6 with AWD.
Clous von For its weight...yes...it is.
will be worth 8k in 10 years
HEMIFAN392 nah man I was lookin to get a 08 x6 they still want 15k
Gennaro Savastano Why does everyone on RUclips take everything literal?
No shit right!
Less than 25% of new cost.What kind of miles on those 08's?
Hmm...sniff sniff...what’s that I smell? DEPRECIATION!!! I must say tho this is a MAJOR improvement over the old 5 series GT.
These GT's are the new Bangle Butt.
Lease only

Why?
Iron Maiden in the heads-up! Yes!
... why dont they mention that this is a 7 Series, uglified, and then given a lower price?
The first 4-door coupe is the Mercedes CLS, then the BMW 6-Series, and finally Audi A7. Most people prefer the A7.
It's unbelievable how much launch control makes BMW accelerate better for posting times. Try it without the launch, and you will loose at least 1 second in the 0-60, and the shifts won't be as crisp.
Hideous!
That is the longest possible way to announce the quarter mile time and trap speed
We'll miss the time when 6 series was a sports coupe.
Superb car and no longer sold in America - have to buy 840i instead.
I have had to 6 series before old one from the eighties and a new one from the 2000's What is this thing supposed to be a wish I didn't need a wagon. There's only two German wagons in the USA
Because BMW has all these numbers it seems they are falling short on what they use to be.
They are
How ironic, the video length is 6:40.
I have to say I only liked the front end. And the interior. The rear looked like a Hyundai Sonata.
I don't know why they are still making this thing, they should make the touring
I'll take the 550i gt
Now all they have to do is make an M POWERED version of this 2 compete with the E63 AMG Wagon. GOOD JOB BMW
Every single one of BMW's GTs... just plain ugly.
JabbaDuhHut This car is Disgusting
I'm a BMW fan and i have to agree. The 5 GT was also hideous. Inside was spectacular and I do mean spectacular, but the exterior is just plain hideous.
This is the best looking GT yet though.
Nah actually not. Got the 640i x drive and if you're putting 22 inch alpina rims on it tint the window and get a carbon black metallic and if you lower this ship down this car looks absolutely amazing literally one of the prettiest cars for me it looks so mafia not to forget track widening
Not available in the USA for 2021.
All things to all people.......except of course.
Reliability.
Everyone is hating on this car but if I had the money I would definitely buy this
Why did he hit that seat so hard lmao
Bmw lots its soul with all new x 123456789s....
Someone will get fired for this
All these niches and yet no Touring
Gran tureezhmo
This car looks like when you have more toothpaste in the end then the front
Is there any level of ugly that Motorweek will say, "No. Just no"? My guess is "No. Just no." Let me rewrite your script: "If you want the butt-ugliest vehicle since the Pontiac Aztec, you're in luck!"
Dear god give us wagons.
$71K lmaoooo nahhhhhh
Just bring the station wagon. Stop this nonsense
Bmw`s look all the same smh!
That interior mustard color is quite ugly.
Platypus.
Bmw styles has gotten worst.!!
Mike Pham Worse
Wurst
Shire sauce.
Look at the new Concept 4 and this car will look very sexy in comparison.
WTF BMW. WTF? WTF...
$70k they are fucking crazy
The 5 series was ugly enough; now this one is going to top that
Swing and a miss
That price is laughable!!!
I swear BMW must be paying people off who do these car ratings.......No one appears to ever have anything bad to say about BMW.......No one wants address some of the questionable design choices, the fact that BMW has way too many cars that are basically the same with minimal tweeks, the fact that they are not very reliable and are a nightmare when it comes to maintenance and repair costs.
strange car
BMW don't impress me anymore. E39 5 series is the last Ultimate Driving Machine.
Useless car.
So much ugly...
I’ll take Audi A8 any day.
Or several others
Saying "tureezhmo" doesn't make it more European
These BMW GT’s are so ugly. Also which pencil pusher thought it was a good idea to have this beached whale bear the 6-series badge?
God I hate when once a month I see a GT bmw, so hideous
Oh BMW, das ist eine fugli auto...this is an insult to the Olds Vista Cruiser of yesteryear. As they say in the UK. Bring us the "estate" version of the 5 series and E class, preferably in the M and AMG trim...
Another uninspiring, useless vehicle from BMW. This is trash!
Seriously, these designs are meh
I get the practicality...but if your not sure about the looks don’t do it. Killer whale looks
Please don’t make any more of these type of vehicle.
What an ugly car!
How come video review setup is so akward? Do more of the old setup.

Terrible looking.
Horrid cars. Finance fodder - and what on earth is that GranTurismo crap about? It isn’t a coupe with 2 doors? Marketing crap as always...
