Let’s be honest: there comes a time when one must sacrifice one's beloved sports car for a family car. Unless one has the means to buy and maintain two vehicles, this can be heartbreaking. However, BMW decided that things don’t have to be this way. The 2019 BMW 640i xDrive Gran Coupe merges luxury, performance, and practical design in a way few cars can achieve. For 2019, the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe offered a perfect blend of elegance and athleticism and all-wheel drive capability, making it a great buy nearly six years after it was first launched.
BMW loves to use the same engine in a wide variety of chassis. One of the company’s most well-used engines is the 3.0 liter straight six B58, which is for a good reason. It offers power, torque, and efficiency while being robust and reliable. There are plenty of examples of these engines with high mileage, or high horsepower builds that keep going strong even with the additional power being pushed through them. In the case of the 2019 BMW 640i xDrive Gran Coupe, the B58 delivers 315 horsepower and 330 lb-ft of torque. It's paired with a reliable ZF eight-speed automatic transmission, providing smooth and quick gear changes. For those seeking a spirited driving experience, the xDrive all-wheel-drive system offers enhanced stability and traction across various driving conditions. This setup enables the Gran Coupe to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just around 5.1 seconds. Furthermore, it allows you to use the car year-round in areas of the country that go through harsh winters.
Inside, the 2019 BMW 640i xDrive Gran Coupe defines opulence. The cabin is filled with an array of high-end materials accompanied by a sophisticated design. Plush leather upholstery and advanced technological features keep you comfy and entertained. The front seats offer heating and optional ventilation, enhancing comfort regardless of the journey's length. Despite its sleek roofline, the Gran Coupe provides ample space for all passengers, with incredibly generous legroom in the rear, distinguishing it from competitors that compromise on passenger space for style.
The exterior of the 2019 BMW 640i xDrive Gran Coupe is where functionality meets style. It retains the classic BMW styling due to its pre-kidney grille design, which many find far more appealing than the newer look. Furthermore, the Gran Coupe’s frame is elongated with a sloping roofline similar to that of the normal six series. This drastically increases the vehicle’s usability without sacrificing its classy and sporty looks.
The Gran Coupe is equipped with ample technology. However, infotainment systems advance quickly; even six-year-old systems can feel a bit dated. Therefore, do not expect the latest and greatest from the 2019 model year. That being said, BMW’s iDrive infotainment system is featured on the Gran Coupe’s 10.25-inch touchscreen that offers navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, and a premium sound system. The vehicle includes advanced features such as gesture control, allowing drivers and passengers to manipulate various controls with simple hand movements. Sometimes, however, such features can feel more like gimmicks than benefits.
When new, the 2019 BMW 640i xDrive Gran Coupe had a starting price of around $81,500, positioning it at the premium end of the luxury coupe market. Currently, the pricing for used models ranges significantly based on mileage, condition, and specific configurations, with estimates falling between $30,000 and $40,000. This makes the 640i Gran Coupe a more accessible option for those looking to enter the luxury car market without compromising performance or style. Furthermore, since it uses one of BMW’s most trusted and tested drivetrains, you can be sure that even a six-year-old model will still be reliable with plenty of years of service.
The 2019 BMW 640i xDrive Gran Coupe stands as a testament to BMW’s ability to produce a car that offers both the practicality of a sedan and the heart of a sports coupe. It provides a dynamic driving experience, a luxurious interior, and cutting-edge technology, all wrapped up in a stylishly practical package. While it may not be the newest model on the market, its features and performance remain competitive, making it a worthwhile consideration for buyers who need to fulfil family and driving experience needs with a single machine.
