6 series was 5 series coupe, this is 7 series in coupe form. This is not 650i.
It is cheaper than an S-Class but that's not to say the S-Class is well-priced. This is a lighter, faster, 6-series. It is not, in my opinion, a 7-series coupe. It might be in "badge" but it is not in form.

I have it on my short list of replacement options but not at this price point. It is different leagues and will cater to a different market but a P-Car Targa or MB GT are some options I'd consider at the $120-$130k price point.
