AC Schnitzer has unveiled their new tuning package for the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, this tuning package was created currently for the BMW 640d version, it is in progress for the 640i version.

Let’s talk a bit about the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe 640d in stock version of the BMW without any upgrade from the AC Schnitzer tuning company.

The BMW 640d has a 3.0 liter 6 cylinder engine with a 8 speed automatic transmission. Its maximum power of 317hp and 630Nm torque make this car become extremely powerful in acceleration (5.4 seconds 0-100km/h).

AC Schnitzer has brought many changes to the 6 Series Gran Coupe, such as carbon fiber materials, carbon fiber front lip and the carbon fiber diffuser from the rear bumper. We are seeing a completely new exhaust with chromed Sports Trim tailpipes. The car also received chromed front grille including chrome strip.

At the interior we can see the “EVO” 3-spoke Sport Airbag steering wheel and aluminum elements such as pedals, footrest and aluminum cover for the iDrive.

It will be a short while before M Performance stuffs their fastest diesel powerplant into the stunning F13 BMW 6 Series so the Bavarians have a “momentary” solution.

Entitled the BMW 640d xDrive, it’s the first coming together of the diesel engine and the all wheel drive solution in a 6 Series.

We’re all familiar with the xDrive system and what it can do and the powerplant isn’t a stranger to us either since it’s the N57.

In one of its most famous tunes, the 640d xDrive gets 313 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque from the N57. That’s generally more than plenty but something should be mentioned.

Even though the N57 is one of the finest diesels out there, it compromises the sports car side of the BMW 6 Series. You can still push it around but you’ll get the feeling that cruising is what it wants to do best.

As it is, the 3.0 liter twin-turbocharged inline six cylinder diesel will combine itself with the xDrive system to get the F13 BMW 640d from 0 to 62 in just 5.2 seconds and it’ll gladly hit a top speed of 155 mph.

The performance is more than decent but the fuel economy is staggering for a big GT car. On the EU testing cycle, the new F13 BMW 640d xDrive can manage more than 41 mpg.

Carbon emissions are also low with less than 153 g of CO2 per km being emitted. A few extra details on the newest addition to the 6 Series family will be available at the Geneva Motor Show.

We expect some shots of the convertible 6er by then as well.
