83 woman this month | May 2012 | Raise the Roof EUROMOTORS Hold on to your seats, WTM takes the new BMW 6 Series convertible out for a spin and we like what we see. There is always something about a woman driving a convertible that somehow projects the idea that she is bold and confident. Well, it’s true; we learned that this car is not for the faint hearted, but for those men and women who want to turn heads. And with the new 2012 BMW 6 series convertible, turning heads is an understatement. From the first glance it is obvious that the BMW designers and engineers have gone all-out this year. The 6 series convertible is a fluid combination of breathtaking elegance and impressive sportiness. With a modern, fully automatic fin roof; the car is given a coupe-like profile when closed. The roof can be opened at the touch of a button in just 19 seconds and it closes just as quickly. The exterior oozes athletic luxury with an exceptionally striking front light design. The exquisite details are even more noticeable when you are in the cockpit, which was designed with the exclusivity of a motor yacht in mind. Both comfortable and functional, the interior uses fine grain Napa leather that is machine stitched with contrasting ornamental seams. This is complemented with a fine-wood trim that further accentuates the quality feel of the interior. And for those who are a fan of leather, but fear the country’s scorching heat, the car uses a unique system that allows the leather seats to feel pleasantly cooled via a SunReflective technology. You won’t need worry about your passengers either; those in the back seat will also be treated to first-class accommodation via the generous compartment space. This is special if you consider that the 6 Series is, in fact, a two door. Keep in touch with your world To keep you and your car connected to the outside world, BMW uses its ConnectDrive system to offer a wide range of innovative functions. This in turn means more convenience, more infotainment and more safety. The optional head up display projects information such as speed and speed limits, as well as navigational instructions directly onto the widescreen in high contrast colour and in the driver’s field of vision. Ladies don’t need to fret about parking issues in crowded places. The sports car offers an innovative Park Assist function. What will also prove to be useful with Bahrain’s traffic is the BMW’s Stop and Go function, which keeps the distance between your BMW and the vehicle in front of you constant at all times.
