Spied: BMW M6 Gran Coupe

Our trusty Teamspeed spies catch the production ready BMW M6 Gran Coupe testing about in Munich earlier today. The stunning 6-series Gran will be powered by the sophisticated 4.4-litre bi-turbo V8 power-plant from the X5 and X6 M versions and we gather the new M6’s motor will develop roughly 570 to 580 hp. The car is rumored to become true Mercedes CLS AMG-fighter when it will hit show rooms in autumn this year. Stay tuned for more soon!

 

That thing is going to be slick.

 

What's the point of this car?

 

they want some of the Panamera market share.

The question is, what is the rear seat space/room like? If its like the CLS or similar company- the Panamera will still rule the roost in this arena.

CLS
A7 etc have lousy rear seat room.

 

Nice ride I guess, but you can't have the Panamera market if you are diluting your brand to death. I think this is more of an S7 or CLS AMG competitor the Panamera is in a complete league of its own (like the 911).

 

It is indeed. I still think the 6 series sedan looks sharp!

 

It does.. agreed.

 

I dislike the 6-series, and with the introduction of the new shape, I dislike it even more.. I don't get LARGE coupes.. only Merc pulls it off with the CL..

 

As a sedan it looks good. But, how on earth you can call something of this mass and luxury an ///M car is simply beyond me.

 

the original values at BMW //M have been neglected to a large degree already anyway (recent cars are heavy TT`d etc),so why not go the AMG route?
That thing will look great!
