Wow! What do we have here? Upgrades for Convertible and 6-Series Coupe. What is new there? They are reshaped and got a new transmission, new seat material, new colors and new interior.
What about technical equipment for 2008? The 4.8-liter V-8 with 360-horsepower, all these are available for both a six-speed “automatic sports transmission”(offering paddle shifting) and for a six-speed manual. Such speed and engine gives choice for a Sport mode.

According to BMW manuals, they say that 60 mph will be accelerated to the 650i Cope in 5.3 sec, while the Convertible will get 0.3 seconds more.Both versions have a limit equal to 155 mph. Additionally, BMW offers changing in the car’s accelerator and steering.
The reshaped 6-Series’s rear and front ends are the incorporation of technological upgrading too. A wider air intake now supports the front end. The customers without any doubt will appreciate crystalline lenses and LED lightning. Bi-xenon duel headlights are given as standard.
The 6-series is equipped with a reshaped deckled with concave surface at the back end. A high-mounted brake light is incorporated into the spoiler lip. There are two colors of paint (Space Gray and Deep Sea Blue).
What about the interior?
A new Chrome Pearl Grey Design trim is used to some of the controls. Birch or Maple wood may be swapped out for the aluminum trim which is standard. Also Pearl leather can be personalized, for example into Saddle Brown or Chateau Red, just to your taste. Attentive eyes will notice some buttons being reshaped. For easy access there are six programmable memory keys in the iDrive. SunReflective technology is incorporated into new leather. According to the BMW this technology can reflect infrared rays, besides the temperature of the seats can remain the same, this is optimal one, around 63 degrees.

Speaking about other upgrades, there is a departure warning system. The camera is used in the system to track the car’s movement in its lane. It is also aimed to warn the driver with a vibration in the steering wheel. For preventing neck injury and whiplash in any accident, the headrests now are closer to passengers’ heads. The BMW Dynamic Driving Control system helps the driver to engage a “sport” mode. Among the other technical “things” Active Steering, Active Roll Stabilization, run-flat tires, and a head-up display (HUD) should be mentioned.
To cut a long story short, there is no point to innumerate the upgraded features; you should try the car yourself, just see and feel how everything works. Everything has the aim to make driving more comfortable and safer. These are main points, in my humble opinion.
