http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1127523 Hopefully the next generation of M6 will have the same configuration of AMG GTS (front-mid engine + transaxle) with ~47/53 weight distribution. By front-min engine I mean exactly what you said: "Moving the front axles forwards of the engine". This also improve the handling by reducing the under-steering unlike RS7 (with AWD and moving engine forward the front axle) is suffering from under-steering...

Yes I did see that. With the width of an M6 and there only being two seats in the back it must be possible. It would just be a matter of cost to develop that setup for just one car.
The RS7 is rubbish. It really annoys me when I read a review and they don't talk about not only the understeer or the cheap plastic interior but also that it torque steers! The front diff is located beside the gearbox at the front and in turn the car torque steers, most noticably in first and second. In other front wheel drive cars with 150hp or 200hp a little bit of torque steer is annoying, in a 2.1t 560hp car the torque steer is simply terrifying! It isn't much to be fair but it is not a nice experience. |

The extra power will only help high speed acceleration, traction improvements are needed more than added HP and Torque, and even at that, there's plenty of options for us to upgrade to and beyond that power at a lower cost. Not sure of the answer, bigger rear tires? I realize AWD robs power and adds weight, so that may not be the improvement that we want but can't add aftermarket.
I just have to say I'm un-impressed with their new improved Comp Package, as I was with the old one. I expect more from BMW than that, maybe they should enlist some of our talented aftermarket tuners to help them?

Here ya go my man!
Engines in the new BMW 6-series (2017) It is clear that the Bavarian Motor Works will continue to put a strong emphasis on the evolution of the legendary straight six, codenamed B57, B58 and S55. Motors already confirmed to CAR include: BMW 640i 3.0-litre in-line six (B58) 347bhp BMW 640d 3.0-litre in-line six (B57) 333bhp BMW 650i 4.4-litre V8 476bhp BMW M6 4.4-litre V8 bi-turbo 600bhp Four-wheel drive xDrive models will be offered across the board, but a hybrid is at this point not pencilled in. http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/spy-sho...hter-sportier/ |

The g platform will most likely come out in 2017 as a 2018 model year. But that is still two years away, and I doubt the m6 will be out at the same time. 2019 model year sounds about right for m6.

Looks dated to me. I think it's still too soon to judge about next generation of 6er specially M6 which will be at least 3 years away

It's such an expensive car that I would be SO pissed if I got it and then found out a new model is coming out, so I wanted to share my findings with the current m6 owners, respect to you kids! That's a SICK car! I WILL get it when my current lease is up |
