The front side panels and trunk lid are made of reinforced fiberglass. Also the engine efficiency is optimized. In the case of the 640i we use a inline 6 with 3-liter displacement and dual turbo shell, which yields 320 hp and 45.9 Nm between 1,300 and 4,500 rpm.

Accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 5.4 seconds, reaches 250 km / h (self-limiting) and homologous averaged 7.7 l/100 km (179 g / km of CO2). Along with active covers the air intake, this engine has an Eco mode Pro amending the electronic management of the electronic throttle response and the laws of change for lower consumption and the performance of some electrical equipment such as air conditioning and heating of the seats and door mirrors.

In turn, informs the driver on the degree of energy efficiency and the additional miles you can get autonomy. The other variant will be available initially will be the 650i, equipped with a V8 supercharged by two turbochargers, with 4.4-liter, 408 bhp and 61.2 Nm between 1,750 and 4,500 rpm.
