X10000. I don't see the point

Really, you guys don't see the point? This is an exciting segment amongst premium brands like Mercedes, Audi, BMW, and Jaguar. The 6er GC is aimed at a more discerning customer. He/she who loves the sportiness of the 6 Series Coupe (2 door), but requires more room - possibly for business colleagues and or a family. This buyer can easily afford the 7 Series, but doesn't require the almost limousine size that is used to transport high profile political dignitaries, corporate executives, and A list celebs. This customer is probably one who favors bespoke tailored suits over off the shelf or a made to measure Zegna. One who wants to stand out a bit in the crowd and not blend in with a 5 Series (nothing against the 5er as it is a beautifully designed sedan).

BMW did a great job and it will sell. It is elegant and sporty with exceptional driving dynamics. I can picture many of these on the road in places like the NY Tri State and Chicagoland areas - especially with xDrive. Global demand for high end consumer products is up so why not capitalize on it from a business standpoint.

I see the point, battle the CLS and panny and others, but this shares very much with the 5 and 7, maybe a little too much and start to overlap. Saying that, I love it.

I like it alot, the M-kit looks great.

If they make an M version of this it would be phenomenal.

+1

I like the new 5 and 6 coupé, and this looks good too. I'd like to see one in real life.
