So the question is, with a good budget, will you choose the BMW 6 Series GT?
Wang Kun, CEO and Editor-in-Chief of Luxury Car, commented:
Design is definitely a core element in the competitiveness of luxury cars, and this of course includes styling design. The 6 Series GT is a maverick and very practical model. At present, there are no similar competitors in the market, and BMW is really in the front at this point. Of course, in contrast, the styling of the interior is a bit lackluster, which is really a bit uninteresting. This is perhaps the biggest regret left by the 6 Series GT...
