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.

[Jackygor]

I don't like it

[EFifty3]

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

[GabAlmighty]

looks heavy

[!SG]

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]

i like current version better :/

[orange7]

the rear looks 100x better

[bcrdukes]

I miss the classic shark look.

[insomniac]

dont really like it.
dont like the interior, dont like the back.
front will grow on me tho

[ruthless]

I miss the classic shark look.

+1 e24 ftw

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]

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

[c63amg]

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

[dogeatcookie]

They tried too hard

[-EuroRSN-]

The rear could be nicer!

[Dinan3]

So much nicer than the last gen.

[EFifty3]

Different colors/wheels..

^damn i think it looks gorgeous

[wingies]

Car looks sick

[HondaGuy]

Actually the design is pretty nice.

Looks more bold and lines flow smoothly.

[twitchyzero]

can't believe most of you think the front of last gen looks better...it just looks like an old, unmotivated dog

can't wait to see a widebody M6 of the new chassis

[busdriverman]

new model looks SICK

[TL_typeS]

wow love the rear! better then the old one!

[maxx]

the new 6 is absolute money. the only better looking thing that it might be the aston martin coupe, thats it.

[Teh Doucher]

i think its pretty sick, the M version of this car shall be my new dream machine.

[Pumbaa]

The new one definitely looks better, but as the flagship sports car of BMW
I think there should be more drama ! !
Hopefully the M6 will have some crazy upgrade to looks cool.

the rear reminds me of a Kia Forte.. I think I made reference to this already

[jpark]

^oh wow.. now that you have mentioned it, it really does 0_o

[pastarocket]

Beemer's using 3 series coupe styling cues on the new 6. A definite improvement on the headlights.

[Phat_R]

I like it. The new wheels make it look really good -- previous spy shots made it look blah and heavy -- but they sure prettied it up a lot

The interior is very very nice

[bloodmack]

Front looks :(

Overall looks good tho :D

[PJ]

I don't like it. Something about the front looks awkward. Maybe it'll grow on me.

[Kalize]

looks better than the old one.
