BMW 6 Series 630i MHEV Specs — Fourth Generation Restyling 1
The BMW 6 Series 630i MHEV is described here with city journeys in mind: the routine of short hops, traffic lights and parking manoeuvres that fills most weeks of ordinary use.
4 generation, restyling 1 · Liftback

The highest speed a vehicle can sustain under manufacturer test conditions. Some cars are electronically limited below their mechanical potential. Glossary entry
250 km/h
Engine type
Gasoline
Transmission
Automatic
Type of boost?
A turbocharger or supercharger compresses the air entering the engine so a smaller engine can produce more power. Naturally aspirated engines draw air without a compressor. Glossary entry
Turbo
Type of drive?
Which wheels receive power: front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. All-wheel drive can send power to every wheel for extra traction. Glossary entry
RWD
Bore and stroke?
The diameter of a cylinder (bore) and the distance the piston travels inside it (stroke). Together they determine the displacement of the engine. Glossary entry
82 x94.6 mm
Engine capacity?
The total volume swept by all pistons inside the cylinders, usually stated in cubic centimetres or litres. Larger displacement often means more power but higher consumption. Glossary entry
1998 cm³
Engine location
Front, transverse
Number of gears?
How many fixed forward ratios a gearbox offers. More gears can improve economy and refinement; continuously variable transmissions have no fixed steps. Glossary entry
8
Maximum power?
A unit of engine or motor output. One metric horsepower is about 0.735 kilowatts. Peak power is normally reached at high engine speed. Glossary entry
258 hp
Maximum power, kw?
A unit of engine or motor output. One metric horsepower is about 0.735 kilowatts. Peak power is normally reached at high engine speed. Glossary entry
189 kW
Compression ratio?
The ratio between the largest and smallest volume of a cylinder as the piston moves. Higher ratios improve efficiency but may require higher-octane fuel. Glossary entry
11
Maximum power rpm
5000 rpm
Maximum torque N⋅m
400 N⋅m
Maximum torque rpm
1550 rpm
Acceleration to 100?
The time a vehicle needs to reach 100 km/h from a standstill, a common shorthand for overall performance. Glossary entry
6.5 s
Engine power system
Direct injection (direct)
Number of cylinders
4
Valves per cylinder?
The number of intake and exhaust valves in each cylinder. Four valves per cylinder is common and helps the engine breathe at higher speeds. Glossary entry

Engine and Transmission
In town, most driving happens well below the speeds that headline figures describe: pulling away from lights, easing into gaps, rolling forward in queues. Drivers tend to value predictable behaviour at those moments, because it is repeated dozens of times a trip.
Drivetrain and Everyday Driving
Once a driver's hands find the indicator, mirror or climate adjustment without thought, the mind stays on the traffic ahead. Familiarity builds through repetition rather than study, and it is what makes a frequently driven route feel undemanding.
Body and Practicality
A common city task is loading bags at the kerb with cars waiting behind. What helps is choosing a stopping place with room to stand behind the car, and packing so bags can be lifted in one movement rather than rearranged on the pavement.
