Yesterday was an interesting day on a couple of levels. I made my way down to the Bayonne Military Ocean Terminal so I could shoot my latest acquisition -- more about that later. After varying up the different set ups and taking in the fabulous 9/11 memorial that was given to the US as a gift from Russia, I made my way towards the port where I came across a set of graffitti'd traincars. After popping off some shots I hopped in the car and was on my way. Driving down the block I looked down a long avenue where I could clearly make out some BMW/MINI signage.I figured it was the port where all the cars come in and thought I would check it out. After all, I am a fan of BMW products and it's loosely known that there's usually something special at BMWNA's headquarters or the port.As I drove alongside the fence I spotted an M5, which I found cool since I haven't seen one in the flesh yet but then something else caught my eye in the sea of BMWs.A bright, blue convertible.Upon closer inspection it was patently obvious it was the all-new BMW M6 Convertible. Note the big brake kit with blue calipers, X6M-lookalike wheels, side skirt, quad-tipped exhaust, and what appears to be a beautiful shade of Le Mans Blue. It had a special POP to it that the M5 by the fence lacked.That said, make sure to take a look at the three photos and one enhanced image down below of the now completely uncovered BMW M6 Convertible.EXCLUSIVE: BMW M6 Convertible UNCOVERED

I'm a bit disappointed personally, but then again we can't even see the front of it. — chris760 (View Profile)

Striking but far from beautiful. Globaltrader's comment about it being an (upscale) Mustang is close to the mark. — PUGPROUD (View Profile)

This is an odd vehicle.Had the chance to drive one for a few days {640i Conv} and while i do not like the overall look in pictures, the actual vehicle is quite nice looking, interior space is less than you would imagine given its exterior dimensions and the amount of road and wind noise that is audible with roof and windows up is way too much for a vehicle of this price range {UK Motorway Speeds}That said the vehicle did have some presence because people kept looking at it which says something in a city where Porsches and Ferraris are everywhere.— I95SPEEDINGTICKETS (View Profile)

I don't think it's that great looking, although I've always been more of a fan of the M5, would easily have one of those over the M6. Something about the 6 series just doesn't do it for me. — phantom330 (View Profile)

For those who haven't seen/read this, all new M-cars will have blue front brake calipers, which this car does have. My source is the recent M5 review in Road & Track.— dstampfer (View Profile)
