Now please could we have three small things:

1. A powered boot lid
2. A panoramic sun-roof with electric blinds (not a cloth blind) - ideally fully venting not just tilt - helps make the shallow glasshouse more atmospheric
3. Proper channels in rear boot lid so water can drain off rear windscreen, to avoid it overflowing and soiling boot lid with watermarks and dirt.

(if i could squeeze one in - now 4)

4. Whoever designs the alloys, please don't run channels behind the spokes - they're a night mare to keep clean (read: skinned knuckles)

I know the boys will keep it low, wide, refined and not brash (like the 4er perhaps needs to be).

Thanks

Seeing how BMW's usual generational life span is about 7 years, I'd be surprised if we see the new 6er hit the market before 2018 as a MY2019 (F12/13 6 Series went to market in 2011). Regardless, this sounds very enticing and I can't wait to see where BMW takes the next generation M6. I've really enjoyed the last two generations.
