The next generation 6 Series takes shape.

Vervain · 09-08-2014, 07:49 PM

Very interesting! Thanks Scott26.

Looks similar to the new S class coupe

BobGonwild · 09-08-2014, 07:58 PM

"For the first time the M6 will be offered with xDrive as well as standard rear wheel drive."

Is this what I think it means for the rest of the M lineup?

Hopefully just the beginning, I'd love to see a xdrive M2 by '17.

If it sounds too good to be true...it probably isn't true.

Well actually the new S class coupe looks similar to current 6er!

BTW, I'm wondering what a monster is this car with about 3700 lb weight and 650 HP!!! I don't like AWD at all, but I believe the AWD of this monster easily catches 0-60mph in sub 3 second!

SouthernBoy · 09-08-2014, 09:31 PM

The side windows in the concept are way too small. Hopefully they will be much taller than that.

StealYourFace · 09-08-2014, 09:34 PM

I love the idea of the process that goes into one of these cars.

I also love that like an architects rendering of a future building (or rehab of an old building) all the aspects of the drawing that shape the way it is received by the viewer, such as the reflectiom, the driver... much like a render of a bulding that has trees that aren't there, walkers by in an area that isn't populated ect.

I never have liked the 6er, until the GC, ( I typically like BMWs with 4 doors better than 2 doors, except the 2002, original 1er and the current m235i) but I have high hopes for this one.

aajami · 09-08-2014, 09:50 PM

So next-gen 6-series Gran Coupe becomes the 8-series. Does this mean the end of the Gran Coupe naming experiment, Scott?

ORIGIN M. · 09-08-2014, 09:55 PM

Go drive a X5M/X6M with the traction fully off and you might see the beauty in it.

It must be that grand of a design if BMW is seriously thinking about selling it as the upcoming 8er.

Actually I did test drive X6M 3 years ago before getting my first F13 650!
BTW, AWD is good for SUVs and there is no doubt, but for M6??? No thanks

Sektion9 · 09-08-2014, 10:37 PM

Love the render, hopefully that make it very similar to that!

N & M · 09-08-2014, 11:30 PM

If this were to happen... Wow!

Best part is the reduction of weight. My wish list would be to seriously work on the traction of the RWD model. AWD is the easy way but lacks the BMW quality to the experience in this type of car.

aajami · 09-09-2014, 12:40 AM

Looks like unlike I've ever seen before.

Except for the 2015 Mustang, that is.

Danyutz · 09-09-2014, 12:43 AM

Illustration can't be taken seriously, it's not official, it's just an interpretation.

Diver · 09-09-2014, 01:34 AM

Beautiful render, impressive weight reduction.

vladberca · 09-09-2014, 02:55 AM

Weight reduction is the key factor for better dynamics

And also, you've suggested that the 6GC will become the 8-er, but you've also suggested (in the F52 thread) that the future line up could include 2GC, 4GC, 6GC and 8GC ?

I don't see how this is going to work out. The 6GC competes with the CLS, A7 and the Panamera to some extent. If the next 6GC is rebadged as an 8 series it would have to compete exclusively with the Panamera and S-class coupe and abandon its current market, or risk being priced below the 7 series which imo is absurd.

m3less · 09-09-2014, 04:07 AM

All sounds good SCOTT... About to good to be true.. I hope more than anything the major weight reduction happens..
