The 2012 BMW M6 has dropped some camouflage, revealing much of its front and rear bumper/diffuser styling for the first time. Although not very radical in design, the M6 front bumper appears to be a bit more aggressive than the F10 M5's front bumper -- with larger and more prominent 'fins' coming out/down from the bumper. The result is a combination of the F10 M5 and E85 Z4 M Roadster bumpers.

The rear diffuser also features some aggressive styling, with prominent fins in the rear as well. The M6 coupe may also be featuring a carbon fiber roof, as the roof's camouflage still remains.

The occasion unfortunately ended with a crash. Today marked the beginning of testing week at the Nurburgring and while most of the M6's testing run was in the dry, the last 4 kilometers were in the wet. While negotiating the 'Galgenkopf' corner, the M6 coupe lost control and crashed into the barrier. The driver was OK, but the car was disabled and had to be towed back to BMW's M test center at the ring.

The 2012 M6 coupe will share the same 560hp 4.4L Twin Scroll Twin Turbo V8 from the recently revealed F10 M5 (internally dubbed the S63Tu engine).

There's no final word on debut and availability of the BMW F13 M6 but we expect BMW to officially unveil the M6 in early 2012 with a market launch later in 2012.
