Thinking about buying a Porsche 911? Compare it to a BMW 6 Series first!
The BMW 6 Series Overview
Continuing with its athletic performance character and distinctive profile defined by unique and voluptuous curves, the BMW 6 Series Coupe for 2011 offers more opportunity for the customer to tailor the 650i to their personal preferences.
The 6 Series Coupe has been thoughtfully refined to emphasize the perfect proportions of the BMW 6 Series body even more, and update the overall look. By enhancing the distinctive spoiler lip on the trunk lid, the rear appears even more sporty, while the revised front and rear bumper and sportier rocker-panels further add to the car's dynamic impact.
The 6 Series includes BMW's 4th generation iDrive system, lane departure warning, active cruise control with stop & go, and a new high-beam assistant feature along with a 4.8-liter V-8 engine which delivers 360 horsepower at 6,300 rpm and 360 lb-ft of torque at 3,400 rpm for pure driving pleasure. As well as run-flat tires and tire pressure monitor are standard features on the 6 Series.
The Porsche 911 Overview
The 911 Carrera is the entry-level model among the many 911 variations offered by Porsche. It's priced similarly to the 6 Series and offers strong performance thanks to its relatively low eight.
Relatively unchanged since 2006, the rear-mounted engine provides 325 hp and 273 lb-ft torque. The standard transmission is a 6-speed manual, and a tiptronic S is available as an option for improved braking performance.
A small rear seat is included, but is useful for only small children or cargo. Additionally, there is limited rear visibility, which can impact safety.
