BMW 640d M Sport Gran Coupé

We drive BMW’s 6 series Gran Coupé and discover that life is indeed a journey and not a destination. What is it? BMW’s Gran Coupé is a jaw-droppingly gorgeous addition to the 6-Series selection.  BMW have taken the regular (if there is such a thing!) 6 series and stretched it to accommodate two more doors. Who is it aimed at? Over eight years ago the Mercedes-Benz CLS established the idea of the “four-door coupe” and in doing so...
