BMW Great Britain has announced pricing for the forthcoming 630i and 535d
models. Powered by the world's lightest six-cylinder engine, the BMW 630i
Coupé is priced at £45,255 on-the-road, while the 630i Convertible with its
unique fin-structure roof costs £50,655. Pricing for BMW's most powerful
flagship diesel, the 535d, starts from £36,575 for the Saloon with the Touring
costing £38,600.
The BMW 630i Coupé and Convertible specification mirrors that of the more
powerful 645Ci model, apart from the standard five-spoke 17-inch alloy wheels.
This means owners of the 258bhp 3.0-litre petrol-engined GT will benefit from
Dynamic Stability Control, a six-speed manual transmission, Bi-Xenon
headlights, Park Distance Control, Dakota leather interior and electrical seat
adjustment, all of which are standard. The performance figures for the 630i are
just as impressive - it accelerates from zero to 62mph in 6.5 seconds (6.9
seconds for the Convertible) before reaching an electronically limited top
speed of 155mph.
For drivers desiring low-down torque, effortless acceleration combined with
economical running costs and the benefits of EU4 compliancy, the BMW 535d
covers all bases. Available in either Saloon or Touring variants the car
delivers 272bhp and 560Nm of torque courtesy of the variable twin turbocharger
arrangement mated to the 3.0-litre engine.
In an engine first for a production car, the sequential layout sees a smaller
turbo provide maximum performance from idle to low engine speeds - 500Nm of
torque at 1,500rpm - but as the revs build a larger turbo helps to further
compress the air for a second, seamless boost of power. At higher speeds the
engine relies on the larger turbocharger. The result of this is a continuous
surge of acceleration making for a zero to 62mph time of 6.5 seconds. Even with
its huge performance potential the 535d still posts a combined fuel consumption
35.3mpg.
Both the BMW 630i and the 535d will be launched in the UK in October 2004.

OTR price for both 5 Series and 6 Series model ranges.
