The M. Flagship aswell as a Euro-friendly M650xd.
There have been better renders as the 6 Gran Coupe does not have an extra quarterlight.

Still no X5 shots? And what about the M4?

sq86 · 01-17-2012, 09:30 AM

Looks pretty sick. I think the M5 gives it a run for its money looks wise. Hard to tell until the wraps come off though.

The deciding factor will be how unique will you like to be? Because the M5 will be more common than the M6 GC

rmani · 01-17-2012, 11:20 AM

render looks pretty damn good. still think the cls looks better but the bmw will no doubt drive and handle better.

Better start saving now.

more common depends on where you live and drive it! if you are in So Cal then everything is common

Where I live (suburbs of Chicago) I hardly ever see any super sports sedans/coupes. I have a 45 minute drive to work and go through some nice areas, have seen some Panamera's and CTS-Vs but the only M3 I have seen is owned by my dad and I have only seen 1 M5 and 1 M6 in that time! TONS of regular BMWs, Audi's, Mercedes...

BMWSzabi · 01-17-2012, 01:27 PM

I've been waiting for when it comes / / / M version!

datbimmerdoe · 01-17-2012, 01:53 PM

awww yeee, daddy like!

lux · 01-17-2012, 02:12 PM

How much do you think this beast will weigh? It looks bigger than the already heavy M5, so will performance/handling suffer given only 20 more horsepower?

cncmastr · 01-17-2012, 05:23 PM

Looks great, looks like velvet blue!

Los Angeles · 01-17-2012, 11:54 PM

BMW's plan to rival the CLS63 has finally come into full swing.

This M6 Gran Coupe looks very promising!

vladberca · 01-18-2012, 02:40 AM

A CF roof for M6/ M6 GC would be just great!
This version will have the main competitor the Panamera Turbo...

Good question where are the M4 spyshots!? Man it hurts to say M4 instead of M3 lol. I'll never get used to that name.

ddigangi · 01-18-2012, 06:26 AM

M5 is looking much better

ReevesBMW · 01-18-2012, 06:35 AM

I'm really not a fan of the wheels BMW used on the M5/M6 and this car. It needs something a little wider, maybe more spokes, maybe a mesh style wheel. Not sure. Just don't like them

AwesomeM3 · 01-18-2012, 07:22 PM

Looks real sweet! My father traded in his Mercedes CLS55 for a new 2010 F10 550i. Now he's thinking about trading the 550i for the new Gran Coupe.

FANBMWM · 01-19-2012, 09:27 AM

Waiting for M6 cabrio

True. Now let us forget about the Super Sport aspect of the car. Just imagine the body frame alone.

So what i am saying is that the F10 body chassis will be very common when compared to the 6GC body (F12 /F13 whatever the GC code is)

stealth.pilot · 01-30-2012, 07:08 PM

If this is priced to compete with the CLS63 AMG, I will buy one asap.
