Why the Sudden Disappearance?
While BMW hasn’t released an official statement, the timing of this removal points to the recent launch of the all-new 5 Series in India, specifically the long-wheelbase (LWB) version. This is a big deal because it’s the first time this elongated 5 Series model has been available here. It’s also exclusive to India and China, making it a hot commodity for those seeking extra space and comfort.
The 5 Series LWB offers a similar blend of luxury and performance as the 6 Series GT, but with a more modern design and updated features. This could explain why BMW decided to simplify its lineup by letting go of the older model.

Farewell to a Versatile Performer
The 6 Series GT was a unique offering in BMW’s lineup, combining the sleek styling of a coupe with the practicality of a sedan and the spaciousness of an SUV. It was known for its powerful engines, smooth ride, and luxurious interior.
Buyers could choose between a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol or diesel engine, both paired with a responsive eight-speed automatic transmission. The 6 Series GT came in two trim levels: M Sport and the even sportier M Sport Signature.
