One design surprise. But I still stand by my statements that BMW M will probably do more to the car to distinguish it from the M6.
The spy shots give me less hope, but the factory photos still don't show the rear (mainly the trunk which the gran coupe has the brake light above the greenhouse, and the front fascia.)

We are not 4 door people but since the release of this GC (still don't understand the Coupe part of the name??) but.............. this design is growing on me. Not that we would buy one. Here in Vancouver it was $135 G's for the coupe but we plan on pricing the M6 next spring.
As for the photo "leaks"..... definitely agree by BMW themselves!! The wheels look great IMO but it appears all BMW wheels are a bear to clean. I also am a car detailer and agree it's all in the cleaning tools and method, very easy to learn with all the DIY videos!! A spoile on the trunk??? would be nice. |

Changes to the M6 Gran Coupe are not just pre-determined by adding "more power" and cosmetics.
If you look at the actual 6er Gran coupe the reviews state the same opinion that the car is dynamically proficient for a BMW. Which brings us back to the M philosophy that the base car must be absolutely perfect in order to become an M. And of course that level of perfection is built upon by completely distinguishing the cars from their BMW bretheren and the Gran Coupe is no different. The engineers at M have built upon the cars dynamics and chassis settings to make the M6 Gran Coupe optimized for its position as the BMW M flagship not just in status but overall ability. It is also the first four door BMW to feature a CFRP roof.

Nope, you forgot mine!! Cars are a passion to some people and I have been a restorer/detailer all my life. Others may garden, fish or play golf (which I also do) so I fail to see your point. We're just doing what we enjoy and I don't see any harm in that............. crank up the tunes, a couple of beers and shine up that puppy!! It all boils down to choice, eh!

I was wondering when that would be confirmed, no other reason to hide the roof if it wasn't carbon fiber.

[QUOTE=dunderhi;12833154 About every three months, I'll take it to a full-service car wash so that inside of the windows get cleaned. [/QUOTE]
Now there's the issue with me. Windows are a PITA. I have used every product in the market and still get the odd streak?? There is a noticeable difference when they are clean!! One has to be almost double jointed to do the best job! |

On top of that, the M5 has been quite disappointing in handling and steering feel. No wonder is losing all the comparos. |

They're similar, but I don't think these are 434Ms.

Win for BMW and I wouldn't worry too much about the M5 it has its following and this car is going to be priced at 20-25% more so its a big jump for those that want to make it!

Maybe looks. To me the 6 series in general isn't that great looking.
