BMW 6 Series GT is not equipped with a four-wheel drive system; it is a rear-wheel-drive vehicle. In terms of power, this car is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine across the entire lineup, delivering a maximum horsepower of 258 and a peak torque of 400 Nm. This engine features direct fuel injection technology and utilizes an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. It is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission from Germany's ZF. Regarding the exterior, the car comes standard with LED lighting across all configurations. The side profile features very smooth and flowing lines, complementing the fastback design, maintaining elegance while also emphasizing sportiness. The front bumper design adds a more aggressive touch.

As a BMW enthusiast who frequently follows the models, I recall that the 6 Series GT typically comes standard with rear-wheel drive, but it offers the option of BMW's xDrive all-wheel-drive system. The xDrive intelligently distributes torque between the front and rear axles, enhancing stability and handling on slippery surfaces. The BMW GT series leans towards comfort and practicality, with the all-wheel-drive version providing added confidence for winter or mountainous driving. I recommend checking the specific model code—for example, the 640i xDrive denotes the all-wheel-drive variant, while the 640i rear-wheel drive is the base version. When making a purchase, it's best to test-drive to feel the differences and pay attention to the vehicle's production year configuration sheet.

I used to drive my friend's BMW 6 Series GT, which was the rear-wheel-drive version, and it drove quite smoothly. But he later upgraded to the xDrive all-wheel-drive model, saying it doesn't slip when starting in the rain, making it especially suitable for our snowy northern weather. BMW's all-wheel-drive system isn't standard in the GT series; you have to pay extra for it as an option, but it does add a lot to the handling. If you're considering buying a used one, check the owner's manual or the nameplate to confirm if it's equipped. BMWs generally offer an elegant driving feel, and with all-wheel-drive, they're even more stable. Discussing actual experiences can help you make a decision.

BMW traditionally favors rear-wheel drive to highlight driving passion, and the 6 Series GT is no exception. From a brand development perspective, GT models inherit the touring car concept, with most base versions being rear-wheel drive. However, in recent years, the market has introduced xDrive all-wheel drive as an option. I recall that older 6GT models were predominantly rear-wheel drive, while the new iteration offers an intelligent all-wheel-drive system, enhancing cornering balance and off-road adaptability. BMW emphasizes innovation—all-wheel drive isn't mandatory but expands usage scenarios, such as tackling complex road conditions during long-distance travel.
