The BMW 645Ci is a nice car packed with nice features and modern technology, which was always BMW's benchmark. The car has innovative lightweight construction with an aluminum/steel/composite body, and an all-aluminum suspension.
Other features are:
  1. Dynamic Driving Control and Active Roll Stabilization
  2. Available Active Steering and Head-Up display
  3. 4.4-liter V8 VALVETRONIC engine for superb performance
  4. Choice of three different six-speed transmission options
  5. Best-in-class and state-of-the-art equipment and generous interior space

Sometimes, I always have the impression of taking the 645Ci for a Bentley. The 645Ci's body shape is kind of similar to a Bentley's. The 6 series has bold styling and is also dynamic and elegant. Its curves are neat and sleek. With its smooth and powerful engine, it sure is a car best in its class. I like the car because it's low, wide and long. Driving the 645Ci really makes the driver feel confident and sometimes, manly! My cousin has this car, he bought it 2 years ago and always went back home grinning from ear to ear. I've sat in his car before and the ride was really something!

Performance


The car has a 4.4 liter V8 engine which ensures high power and torque. Adding to the all-time good performance, the car has a fully variable Valvetronic valve control, enabling the engine to develop 325 horsepower and 330 Ib-ft of powerful torque, at 3600 rpm. The launch(0-60 mph), is under six seconds.
The three different six-speed transmissions are:
  1. Six-speed manual
  2. Six-speed STEPTRONIC automatic
  3. Six-speed Sequential Manual Gearbox (SMG) featuring both a gearshift lever and shift paddles on the steering wheel

Sharing a feature with the one first seen on the Z4, the 6 series also has the DDC---Driving Dynamic Control, which gives the engine a more spontaneous reaction to the accelerator.

Agility


Intelligent lightweight technologies make the car more outstanding. Thanks to the inventive use of aluminum, steel and synthetic materials throughout the body, the 6 series is able to have such good class-leading agility. What's more, the front section of the car is significantly lighter than steel, the hood and doors are aluminum and the front fenders are thermoplastic.

Handling and Responsiveness


Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) including Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) and BMW's Active Roll Stabilization are added in to the driver's advantage. For 6 series coupes' sports package sold in the U.S, they have BMW's unique Active Steering, which electronically adjusts the degree to which the front wheels turn in relation to steering input from the driver. Under normal driving conditions at low and medium speeds, steering becomes more direct, enabling the front wheels to turn more in angle, than the steering wheel. This feature will enhance the car's performance in city traffic, when parking or in curves. At higher speeds, the steering ratio is the opposite of the steering at low sppeds, which becomes more indirect, which causes the front wheels to turn relatively less in relation to the steering wheel, offering greater directional stability.

Adding to all the safety features present in the car, the 6 Series utilizes run-flat tires, allowing the driver to continue for a certain distance even when a tire is completely flat. You can also choose the Adaptive Headlights, which enhance visibility, illumination, and improve the driver's field of nighttime vision.

Other features include Head-Up Display and Glass Panorama Roof. The standard glass panorama roof gives the interior an even more spacious and brighter feel, especially since the panorama roof is much larger than a conventional moonroof.

The Head-Up Display, is also available as an option. This feature offers premium clarity and allows the driver to concentrate on the road ahead at all times by presenting relevant information directly in the driver's line of vision, on the windshield.

In summary, the 6 series is a wonderful car to have. It really offers limitless comfort and performance to the occupants, making the ride more comfortable, and money well spent.
