Newest 2012 6-series Convertible (F13) Spy Photos
Seems like it's gone on forever, but the 6-series convertible continues testing. Spotted recently was a 650i and 640i convertible. As before, not much camouflage remains on these test mules and it doesn't take much imagination to picture the final production 6-series convertible.
Here is the BMW announced production schedule for the F12 / F13 6-series coupe and convertible. MY 2012: March 2011 - 650cv July 2011 - 650cp September 2011 - 640cp/cv September 2011 - 650xi cp/cv Follow our full 6-series coverage here: http://www.bimmerpost.com/6-series/

Nah, it's just the usual "Less camo equals more car" philosophy!
Car is looking good though! I think the rear lights will be amazing considering the Gran Coupe concept!

But the 640 will actually be a 3.0l I-6, just like the 7er "740," right?
lol

Yes. But what's funny about that though? The HO N54 easily trounces the old 4.0L N62 in both power and torque. My guess is that the F2x 1, F3x 3, and F1x 5 will eventually get "x40" models too.

^ little late for the f1x's, but that could change, it did for the e90's (2006-2007)...
What is funny about it, is that it makes no sense, in the past, the YY in xYY stood for the engine size, now it has absolutely no relevance, and x35 wasn't so bad (though many still think those cars have a 3.5) but stepping up to calling a 3.0l a 4.0l just makes no sense at all IMO... Just my opinion, I'm entitled to it. I'm sure its part of BMW's ingenious plan, thinking they will be able to charge more for cars badged x40 as opposed to x30 or x35. And I'm sure they are right, most of the people buying those higher-end cars have no idea nor do they care, they just want to sign their lease papers and drive away...

I agree with you - it would be nice if they matched up like they often (but not always) did in the old days.
You know, I think that it is entirely possible that, in the near future, we might see the displacement be exactly 1 less than the model designtation. So it would be: 4L* V8: x50i 3L I6: x40i 2L I4: x30i 1.5L I3: x25i *Some rumblings about the V8 getting downsized to 4L (like Audis upcoming 4L TFSI). The V12, of course, would be the exception. That's all complete shot-in-the-dark speculation on my part, of course. Quote:
