Closest new BMW 6-series convertible rendition yet

Jason · 10-16-2009, 07:47 AM

BMW insider Scott26/7 calls this rendition the closest one he has seen for the new upcoming BMW 6-series convertible, minus a few detail differences.

As we reported earlier, BMW NA Chief, Jim O'Donnell recently stated that the next 6-series coupe and convertible will be the "best-looking BMW in years." Judging by this rendition, I believe him.

I bet it won't have the Mercedes-like line in the rear fender.

Smaller?

Rear looks punched up.

Wait to see more.

italy430 · 10-16-2009, 08:55 AM

the lights are nice but the overall front image seems to be to close to the Z4 for my liking. I can see only a few very small tweaks would make it a lot better. The rendering already looks way better than the current 6 series.

And ya I doubt that Mercedes line at the back will stay!

reminds me of a bigger slk or even a cl from mercedes. not sure.

milkee1991 · 10-16-2009, 09:06 AM

The shape looks similar to the mercedes cl, but in a shorter wheel base. Looks good though.

E90PAT · 10-16-2009, 09:06 AM

looks like z4's shot gun wielding dad

ya now that u mention it, it really does look like the cl

samuraisaiyo · 10-16-2009, 09:31 AM

I think it should come as a sports car than this.

Turbo Squid · 10-16-2009, 09:44 AM

Looks like a M-B CL w/ big 335 Sport Package wheels

Malbolge · 10-16-2009, 09:46 AM

well, that's clearly an older brother of the Z4.

EmPower · 10-16-2009, 09:59 AM

NO!

ksm · 10-16-2009, 10:08 AM

wait, is that a Buick ?!?!?!

scott@bmwhn · 10-16-2009, 10:08 AM

if the CL and eclipse had a baby

thesixsins · 10-16-2009, 10:21 AM

Merc CL anyone?

Exactly the first thing I thought of.

I don't think it will look anything like this.

the infamous... · 10-16-2009, 10:47 AM

Nice rendering.

Legato2057 · 10-16-2009, 11:01 AM

I imagine the end product will look like a melding of the new Z4 with the 6 series. I'm betting BMW used the same artist (can't remember her name right now) to design the new 6 series as well given the positive reaction to the Z4.

+1. Still looks much better than the current 6 series imo.

JoosyJoos · 10-16-2009, 11:09 AM

Pretty bland. If you're gonna spend that much on a car they would need to give it some character.

Mii · 10-16-2009, 11:25 AM

Much better front end than the current model. 6er needs to get rid of those mustache ASAP.

Spaceman Spiff · 10-16-2009, 11:31 AM

Best looking BMW in years????! If this is the car he must have been talking about the years to come :P
