3+ BMW 6 Series Cars for Sale in South Africa

BMW’s 6 Series is for the person who wants a grand tourer that actually feels grand, not just a coupe with a fancy badge and a cramped rear seat. On paper at least, it lines up against the E-Class Coupe, Audi A7, and Porsche Panamera, but the 6 Series brings a certain drama to Rivonia Road and the N1 that those rivals can’t quite match. Here you’re looking at three used cars, all petrol: the 640i’s inline-six and the 650i’s 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8, each with an automatic or semi-auto ‘box. Prices run wide, from a practical 640i Gran Coupe at R389,950 to an M Sport-badged 650i Coupe that stretches to R699,900. That’s the point — spec and badge carry real weight in this space, and you pay for every bit of it.

You’re buying 2012–2013 metal with about 70,000 km on the clock, which looks fair until you remember what BMW was packing under those bonnets, especially the temperamental twin-turbo V8. That makes a full service history and a comprehensive inspection non-negotiable. The 640i Gran Coupe at R389,950 is the sensible pick — adult-friendly rear seats, more liveable for Fourways traffic and the odd weekend haul to Clarens if you pack smart. Meanwhile, the 650i Coupe M Sport at R699,900 is your collector’s flex, all rarity and road presence. What sells the 6 Series over the E-Class Coupe? It’s the stance, the cabin that feels tailored rather than assembled. No new stock means you’re deep in the used market, so your patience and homework on maintenance history will matter more than the sticker price ever could.
