The BMW 6 Series (2015-2018) is where luxury meets exhilarating performance, epitomizing the essence of a grand tourer that can devour miles with grace and style. Whether you choose the striking coupe, the versatile Gran Coupe, or the breezy convertible, the M6 Competition stands out with its powerful engine lineup and sophisticated chassis, making it the ultimate choice for discerning drivers. As a symbol of European craftsmanship, the 6 Series embodies a unique blend of performance and refinement, deeply appreciated by Kiwi enthusiasts who value an exceptional driving experience.
Common issues for the BMW 6 Series (2015-2018) can include oil leaks (particularly from the valve cover gasket and oil filter housing), coolant leaks (especially around the expansion tank), and issues with the iDrive system. The adaptive suspension, if equipped, can also be a potential source of problems. Furthermore, turbocharger issues can occur in the higher-performance models. Keep an eye on the tyre pressure monitoring system, as sensor failures are not uncommon.
When presenting your BMW 6 Series for a WOF inspection in New Zealand, be sure to pay attention to the following: Tyre condition and tread depth are critical. Check for any oil or fluid leaks, particularly around the engine and transmission. Ensure all lights are functioning correctly, including headlights, taillights, brake lights, and indicators. Suspension components, including the shock absorbers and springs, will be inspected for wear and tear. The braking system, including brake pads, rotors, and brake lines, will also be thoroughly checked. Correct operation of the supplementary restraint system (airbags) is vital.
Under the hood, the 2015-2018 BMW 6 M6 Competition is equipped with breathtaking V8 power, pushing the limits of performance and acceleration. The balance between comfort and agility is quintessentially BMW, ensuring every corner is approached with confidence. Inside, high-quality materials and state-of-the-art technology envelop passengers in luxury and convenience. However, like any high-performance vehicle, regular maintenance is essential. It's wise to monitor fluid levels and keep an eye on brake wear, especially as you approach service intervals around 15,000 km for oil changes and 30,000 km for brake services. Be alert to potential issues such as cooling leaks, specifically around 150,000 km, where components like your water pump, thermostat, and radiator should be inspected.
