SMC Asia Car Distributors Corp., the exclusive distributor of
BMW vehicles in the Philippines, made its presence felt at the
2018 Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS).
BMW Philippines showed the
6 Series Gran Turismo along with
four other models.
The
6 Series Gran Turismo has a bold and composed exterior. It has sharp-looking headlights along with a muscular front bumper and the brand's signature kidney grilles. Overall, the 6 Series' front end is more than enough to get your attention. Turning at the side, the vehicle is characterized by straight character lines, which is a typical design trait of German brand. The prominent fenders add to the 6 Series' bold and composed exterior. The rear, on the other hand, gets wraparound distinctive taillights while the bumper completes the vehicle's exterior design. Don't forget about the dual tailpipes, a sharkfin antenna, and the 19-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels.
