BMW today released the first pictures of the production 6-series coupe, on sale in the UK in October 2011.
Old news... the 6-series launched last year in Paris, didn't it?

That was the all-but-identical 6-series concept. You may also be confusing this car with the 6-series Convertible, which was unveiled at the decidedly un-sunny 2011 Detroit motor show in January 2011. Now, just in time for warmer weather, here's the fixed-roof version of the new BMW Six. Hang on...
2011 BMW 6-series Coupe: the lowdown

Styling of the new BMW 6-series was apparently 'inspired by well designed waves that caused the lines and volumes in the surroundings of a flow around a body of water'. That probably made more sense in the original German, but the result is a more restrained big coupe with fewer of the controversial details that marked out its predecessor.

At 4894mm long and 1894mm wide, the 6-series coupe has grown 75mm and 39mm respectively over the previous edition's dimensions. Make no mistake; this is a big GT coupe.
The engines available on the BMW 6-series

The 6-series will launch with your choice of 402bhp petrol V8 (650i), or 315bhp petrol straight-six (640i) engines. Both engines earn their model numbers with the aid of turbocharging. The diesels comes along later (presumably with mandatory badge-delete for maximum pose effect). Standard transmission will be the ZF eight-speed automatic, teamed-up with the usual raft of Efficient Dynamics eco-friendly features.

As we know from part-electrified BMW saloons and SUVs, this ZF transmission can be mated with hybrid modules, so we wouldn't be surprised if an ActiveHybrid 6-series arrived at some point in the future. But for now you'll have to make do with a donor 5-series-style head-up display, adaptive LED headlamps, adaptive damping, Bang & Olufsen hi-fi and a raft of other comfort and convenience features on the options list.

Inside? We're expecting it to be much as the 6-series cabriolet, but BMW hasn't provided us with official interior shots yet.

I don't like it

EFifty3 03-12-2011 03:29 PM

That's the convertible...the coupe and the convertible have separate releases.

GabAlmighty 03-12-2011 04:30 PM

looks heavy

!SG 03-12-2011 04:35 PM

we will most likely get the 635 and 650 here...

the new improved n55 engine is too good and rumours have it that a new turbo'd inline 4 will be replacing the current na inline6, same performance numbers + power band, better fuel economy.

gearshifter 03-12-2011 04:35 PM

i like current version better :/

orange7 03-12-2011 04:44 PM

the rear looks 100x better

bcrdukes 03-12-2011 05:01 PM

something about the front doesn't look right to me on this new one...but im sure it'll grow on me. Interior looks nice and simple.

donjalapeno 03-12-2011 05:10 PM

the front is too busy and shiny it gives me a headache.

c63amg 03-12-2011 05:48 PM

im pretty sure this new 6 series will grow on everyone just like how the x6 did to most

dogeatcookie 03-12-2011 07:09 PM

They tried too hard

-EuroRSN- 03-12-2011 07:14 PM

The rear could be nicer!

Dinan3 03-12-2011 07:40 PM

EFifty3 03-12-2011 10:14 PM

Actually the design is pretty nice.

Looks more bold and lines flow smoothly.
