The next 6 Series looks a lot like the current 3 Series Coupe & Cab

halB · 09-08-2007, 10:22 PM

That's what I think after seeing this in the September issue of Automobile Magazine:

BMW335icDDS · 09-08-2007, 10:32 PM

The 6 series is horribly ugly. That same automobile article mentions how its definately not a great looking car. (nice way to call it fugly) I saw those and yes it looks alot better, but stil not good enough. It has some curves of the S5, but the S5 still looks beter.

nmulax · 09-08-2007, 10:33 PM

I know those are just an artist's sketches... but I like the current 6er so much more.

THE JEDI · 09-08-2007, 10:58 PM

those are just nasty..yuck aint no way

ejazbmw · 09-08-2007, 11:02 PM

I like the 6series its a real head turner..

ejazbmw · 09-08-2007, 11:03 PM

and there not as common as the 3/5/7 series you barely see any on the road...

bobloblaw · 09-09-2007, 01:13 AM

i hope this isnt what the next 6er looks like. looks like they took the 5 series headlights and just stretched them out horizontally.

Biz · 09-09-2007, 02:06 AM

Rear end has an Aston Martin/Jaguar feel to it and is a definite improvement to the current 6er (not a difficult task, mind you). Headlights look truncated on top though, and the Z4 crease on the side looks a little odd, especially where it meets the crease from the top of the tailight.

The coupe could be sexy.

Year's_End · 09-09-2007, 02:14 AM

It's an artist's rendering so I ain't gonna make assumptions atm. Looks like shite and I doubt that's what the new 6er will look like.

ArmyBimmerDude · 09-09-2007, 03:50 AM

The current 6 series/M6 is ugly, everyone knows that. The next version looks 100% better for sure.

Either one looks better than the S5. Until you see it in person, you dont realize how plain and disappointing the A5/S5 looks.

Weird..I think the S5 kicks it's ass in the looks dept. Like anything, have to see it in person to judge. One thing I can't stand on the 5 (and on the renderings on the 6) is that strip of headlight that runs along the side of the car. Just looks plain weird IMO. That's one of my big styling issues with the 5. I agree the rear looks better than the current 6..most S5/Aston Martin like.

vladinecko · 09-09-2007, 03:00 PM

i always get humored by these "spy" shots. it's like playing the game "name all the BMWs in this photoshop."

the rear actually has a hint of CLS550.

DM1 · 09-09-2007, 03:05 PM

There's no way that Bangle will allow the 6 to have a waist line like that. That line going front to rear from high to low is just horrible and it takes all the strength of the car, who ever did those sketches is not getting the project.

mJ335 · 09-09-2007, 03:13 PM

The reason why I LOVE the 6 series is because of its unique looks and theme, but the new one looks as if they put the 3 and 5 series and mixed it together. I Like the older one much better!

Turn your head so you won't have to look at it?

SouthFLBMWMech · 09-13-2007, 12:27 AM

Wow-- you guys are hard on the current 6
Its a beautiful car (with the right wheels) its highly enjoyable to drive, a fairly exclusive car (BMW sells only about 600-700 per month nationwide), and it turns alot of heads here in Miami.

325 Baller · 09-13-2007, 09:03 AM

Ya, I dont know where you guys get that from but I personally find the 6/m6 to look amazing. But i guess thats why theres more car companies then BMW so everyone can get something they like.

TheAcAvenger · 09-13-2007, 09:37 AM

The current 6 has definitely been a hate it or love it car. Personally, I think it has the ugliest rear end of any car i've ever seen. I actually dont mind the front of the current 6 though. I'll take the new rear and the current front. Actually, I won't take it, because it will still be ugly.

!Xoible · 09-13-2007, 09:39 AM

this is the NEXT 6? if the 6 has been around before i would say this is the PREVIOUS 6

That's probably cuz these are lamo photochops based off of the 3 series coupe and cab!

guys... whatever bashing your doing now, it's only affecting the "artist" of these impressions, the next 6 won't look remotely like this, don't forget the CS is the direction for the next 7 series, then 6....

Year's_End · 09-13-2007, 04:06 PM

Yeah, if anything, the next six will probably be a coupe design that borrows heavy design influences from the Concept CS. I can already picture it...hotness.
