ALL 6 Series Changes from July Production
New for all models of the BMW 6 Series: No Passing Info display.
The new function No Passing Info supplements Speed Limit Info from BMW ConnectedDrive. It serves to avoid potentially hazardous overtaking manoeuvres by identifying signposted routes on which overtaking is banned and when the ban is lifted. New: BMW 6 Series Coupe with Auto Start Stop function. With effect from 2012, the top model of the 6 Series Coupe, the BMW 650i xDrive, will be equipped as standard with the Auto Start Stop function. Being an integral part of BMW EfficientDynamics measures, fuel consumption will be significantly reduced as a result. The engine is automatically switched off as soon as the vehicle comes to a halt at a red light, in a traffic jam or at a level crossing, for example. When the driver releases the brake, the engine restarts automatically, allowing the journey to be continued. UPDATED INFO: 6 Series Convertible, Coupe (F12/F13) Technical Changes The 6 Series Coupe and Convertible will receive technical updates that will enhance both vehicle performance and fuel efficiency:
Packages The price of the Individual Composition Package (ZI1) has been decreased by $1,300 to $6,400 for the Coupe and $5,700 for the Convertible. 20” wheels are no longer included in the package price, but are offered as a $1,300 upgrade to the 19” wheels that are included in ZI1. Stand-Alone Options The following stand-alone options have been updated for the MY13 6 Series Convertible and Coupe: Lane Departure Warning (5AD) now includes frontal collision warning Speed Limit Info (8TH) now available in Driver Assistance Plus (ZDA) Active Roll Stabilization (229) has been integrated into Adaptive Drive (2VA) and is no longer shown as a separate option. There is no price impact. Full Merino Leather (ZBC8, ZBOW, ZBP5, ZBP6, and ZBWT) will no longer require ordering the Individual Composition Package (ZI1) Individual Trim (XE8, XE5, and XE6) will no longer require ordering the Individual Composition Package (ZI1) Individual Paint (X02, X03, X04, and X10) will no longer require ordering the Individual Composition Package (ZI1)

It's direct from BMW. You can check with your dealer, who should have the same exact info.

Honestly, I wouldn't blame you for being upset. BMW has a reputation for making changes or adding features within short time frame that can frustrate new customers. Regarding the power increase, I starting a thread a few months back inquiring about that particular update. I knew it was coming eventually since the GranCoupe info release, however, I wasn't sure when exactly.

Looks like the general consensus is to boycott BMW cars ... teach them a lesson
Audi .. No! MB ... Another No! Porsche ... Not even close .. No! No money. Jaguar ... Yuks. OK. I guess boycott will not even get off the ground. Sorry BMW ... I am back. |

wow a 45 hp increase would make the 650 a completely different driving experience. I felt like the 2012 650 was a bit underpowered for it's weight.

Guys, don't go too crazy over the power bump. I know it sucks. I have a 2012 myself. In reality though, a head to head race would yield probably a three foot difference in a race.
What would be clutch is if Dinan can't do anything to the new valvetronic engine. Lol. |
