Wait... If The 6 Series Is Supposed To Be Replaced.. Then What Is This?

here has been a lot of chatter about the future of the BMW 6 Series this year. First we heard that the convertible and Gran Coupe could get the axe. Then a new report said that only the Gran Coupe would survive, this being because the revived 8 Series coupe would edge the smaller two-doors out of the lineup. Now our spy photographers have brought us these shots of, wait for it, a camouflaged 6 Series coupe out for testing! Despite being covered from head-to-toe in camo there is a bit of info we can glean about the new 6 Series coupe from these shots.

In many performance ways BMW moves the envelope forward but in other ways its afraid of its own shadow. Likely cannot pull the trigger on the 6 series because of fear of making a mistake.

I can hardly think of a BMW that was as sexy and elegant as the original 6 series.

Wow that looks awfully similar to the Pontiac GTO with the kidney grille

The 6 series didn't sell well because it was overpriced. There's a definite market for the 6 series if BMW price it similar to the E class coupe

It appears BMW is re-aiming the 6 Series. I think it has great proportions. The 6 Series didn't sell well because it was not that attractive. This looks a lot better.

Simple answer...

If reports on 8-series are true, it won't be ready for another 4-5 years. 6-series spy shot looks production ready meaning conceptualised 4+ years ago.

BMW can either release production ready facelifted 6-series (for the next 4-5 years until 8-series is ready) OR let current design drag on for another 4-5 years until 8-series is ready.

autopal: I agree with you, in fact their mistake was to try to put it in the SL or even S class coupe league, when it never was over the E series.
