Modifications to the interiors were noted to include new upholstery in two tone leather along with other improvements.

Power is sent to rear wheels through an 8 speed automatic transmission. Acceleration from 0 to 100 kmph is achieved in 5.4 seconds while top speed is slated to stand at 250 kmph.
2016 BMW 6 Series facelift will be brought in as a CBU into India. Hence, there should not be much change in its pricing. Once officially launched, it will compete with the likes of Mercedes Benz CLS Class and Audi A7.
