2012 Bmw 6-Series xDrive now available in the United States

BMW is responding to competition by going for all-wheel drive now after having focused on smaller turbocharged engines. Both Audi and Subaru have taken an interest in rear-wheel drive. According to the US model overview for the new BMW 6-Series, the coupe and convertible could be fitted with the Bavarian xDrive all-wheel drive.

This means that the 650i xDrive Convertible and 650i xDrive Coupe could be selected from the website of BMW USA.

The convertible is priced at $93,500, and has an output of 400hp, while the coupe version is priced from $86,000. With the M6 getting a 4.4-liter turbocharged engine, there leaves no doubt that BMW is set to take on its rivals.[via : 4wheelsnews]
