World's first peek at next gen F12 6-series coupe! - 6Post.com | BMW 6-Series Forum

As featured on Bimmerpost Homepage.

We bring you the first ever sighting of the next generation 6-series coupe (F12)! Until now, only the 6-series convertible prototype has been spotted. This 6-series coupe prototype clearly differs from the convertible in the larger rear window, different side windows, and large B-pillars.

If you'll recall, BMW North American CEO, Jim O’Donnell has called this new generation 6-series the "best looking BMW in years," and it's certainly shaping up to be a sleek and well proportioned coupe!

Frosty · 03-30-2010, 01:22 PM

...the roof almost gives the impression it is a folding hardtop vert with those lines across it... ~Frost

I thought the same for a moment, but the B-pillar gives away the coupe.

Best regards,

agreed, I see now what you mean, I went to double check the vert spies and you beat me to it ~Frost

Frosty · 03-30-2010, 01:31 PM

I cant wait to see that trunk 3D camo removed so we can see how it is sculped... looking forward to seeing this!

M3 vert · 03-30-2010, 01:32 PM

Looks promising, wonder when the M6 is coming out

Jblack4083 · 03-30-2010, 01:40 PM

If only BMW would do away with that flat, blunt, shark-nose front. Stupid pedestrian safety laws. They shouldnt be walking in front of cars anyay.

BimmerGuyFL · 03-30-2010, 01:46 PM

Looks as if it is going to get a rather large BMW logo on the middle of the trunk, from what I can see in these pictures. Looks good from what I can see. :-)

scott@bmwhn · 03-30-2010, 01:50 PM

cant wait to see the finished product!

...on a side note, i've heard rumors that they canned the hardtop conv. because of weight...i guess time will tell.

dimabimmer · 03-30-2010, 02:28 PM

Looks a lot like Bentley from the rear.

I actually thought it might have a removable carbon roof panel that would fit in the trunk... then I woke up.

SoCali E90 · 03-30-2010, 03:33 PM

it has gigantic grills like the 7. i personally HATEEEE the fact that all their cars are starting to look alike.

zuggerat89 · 03-30-2010, 03:46 PM

Holy crap that is big. LOL

uhn2000 · 03-30-2010, 03:57 PM

I want to see more!!! Really looking forward to this car as its shaping up to possibly be my next.

6MT M3 · 03-30-2010, 04:03 PM

T89 · 03-30-2010, 04:08 PM

JoeyBananaz18 · 03-30-2010, 04:20 PM

The__J__Factor · 03-30-2010, 04:33 PM

Hard to tell with the camo on but it does look super bland.

kinan_sleiman2006 · 03-30-2010, 04:42 PM
