Almost everything about the 2008 BMW 6 Series remains unchanged from last year with the exception of a few cosmetic exterior and interior changes. Noting that, the 6 Series remains a favorite luxury car, whether you opt for the sports coupe or convertible. Depending on trim, the 6 Series offers two engines: a 3.0 Liter 6-cylinder engine which develops 272hp and a 4.8 Liter V-8 which rockets at 367hp.

The BMW 650i sports coupe offers a Voice Activation System that can control various features in the automobile including navigation and phone. iDrive is another technological advance that controls and displays settings on a console mounted button and monitor including cabin temperature, navigation and communication.

Aiding in the superior performance profile of the BMW 6 Series is the revolutionary Valvetronic technology which replaces the traditional throttle with a system which alters the timing and aperture of the engine's valves to regulate air and fuel intake. Valvetronic technology allows the engine to breathe better, save gas, and increase performance. Add to that the benefit of Double-VANOS, allowing precision adjustment of the timing of the engine's intake and outlet camshafts and the 6 Series V8 is as precise and balanced as any combustion engine on the market.

A problem which the Series 6 seems to have solved is the performance of most cruise control devices when traveling downhill. In most traditional cruise control applications, if the car is traveling downhill, the vehicle will continue to pick up speed above the set speed on the cruise control device. With active cruise control, that problem has been solved with the introduction of automatic brake application to slow the vehicle in these situations. A heads up night display can be a life saver in certain situations, as well as the 6 Series lane departure system. Add run-flat tires to the armamentarium of safety features in the 2008 BMW 6 Series and the experts agree that this car is flirting with perfection.
