This is a new 6 and damn this car will be a beauty.It will outclass the current one.
I LOVE the roofline. Looks long and low. Nice
P.s. I can't even imagine how good the 8 will look.

Please, please, please, BMW don't mess this up by trying to do too much. The current 6er in all iterations is arguably the best looking BMW for all FXX chassis BMWs, both exterior and interior. This is a rare case where I would want BMW to be more evolutionary than revolutionary - that's how great I think the current 6er is.

Holy front overhang Batman!!! that's a huge front overhang!

makes the proportions look boat-ish and more Buick than BMW. for it's length and width looks like it has a very low roof-line.

I hope we don't have the Spongebob Squarepants bucktooth grilles instead of kidney grilles.





I rest my case.

have you checked the front overhang on the current 6er recently? no difference here.

They will ruin it for sure. The new Audi ceo is ruining the brand. I bet this will have the ugly 6 fog light thing the new 5 series has.

Good time to own the older models. I bet their price will go up.

No way this boat will compete with the 911/AMG GT/R8.

If it has been repositioned, away from the luxury GT market, it has gone somewhere else. I'd expect a 2-seater to go against that competition.

As someone pointed out, the proportions look very Aston martin-ish.

And I hope they keep the GC.

Seems like it will be a very handsome car. But like most recent big Bimmers it'll probably drive like a boat instead of a sporty big car.

It truly amazes me that BMW has never tried competing head on with the 911, and ditched targeting the Boxster in '09 with the release of that mediocre E89 Z4.

Beat me to it. I echo the Mustang sentiment above. Maybe it's just the camo...

Unless the engine is a flat-6 hanging behind the rear wheels and weighs about 3,300 lbs.

You can get a pretty good deal on GC now. They're surprising hard to sell, at least in my area. It's F06 GC by the way.

Not supposed to be. The Benz S coupe isn't even their 911 competitor; the AMG GT/GTS is. BMW doesn't have a 911/AMG GT competitor yet. I was hoping the 8er would be that. Or make the 8er the lux GT and the 6er the 911 competitor.
