Taking into account BMW’s history of concepts that are virtually the finished item, and this showcar’s realism, we could well be looking at “the new 6-Series”. Based on the Concept Gran Coupe that BMW showed in Beijing this April, but with two doors taken off, this is officially a “concept study for a luxury 2+2-seater”.
Like the F10 5-Series, this Concept 6-Series Coupe is much less polarising than the car it replaces. BMW points out that all the classic hallmarks of a BMW coupe are present, including the stretched bonnet, short front overhang, a pushed back passenger compartment and a low silhouette incorporating a flowing roofline.
It looks wider and lower than the current car, and elegant in the metal; highlights are the “shark nose” that juts out with very prominent nostrils, an arrow-like line on the profile that starts from the “gills” and a concave rear end with bulit in spoiler. The LED rear light elements look like those on the F10. Speaking about lights, this concept sports new LED headlights that incorporates Adaptive Headlights and BMW’s trademark corona rings. The all-LED design is a first for a BMW.
Inside, there’s a freestanding 10.2-inch iDrive Control Display in the centre of the dash, as well as a 16-speaker Bang & Olufsen stereo. This is a “fully active” system, which means the two bass speakers, seven mid-range speakers and seven tweeters all have individual amplifiers. Could this be an option on the production car?
Nothing on the drivetrain and mechanicals were mentioned, we’ll have to wait for that. See our previous post for studio images. Paris pics are after the jump.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
nowadays the shark nose front is a trend just like that evo X
I hope P2 not thinking to copy shark nose front into VIVA just like they did copy that merc “mata bulat” into kancil not so long ago..
lol
Why suddenly P2?
Why don’t you say that the Volvo S60 had that protuding center grill unit way before the Mitsubishi Lancer, then?
“Shark Nose” has been around since the 1980’s BMWs…
Hmmm… somehow it looks better now compared to the last few post, but still, the size of the two big nose in front can be reduced, overall the car is well designed.
Congratulations on creating a 6 series replacement…
sexy shark…
Wow! It’s a 6 series coupe, man!
it is! wow! would you look at that! guess no one saw that coming!
sorry~ no offence meant. just couldnt help it when you’re stating the obvious. hahahahahhaahhahahaha!
hmmm… need to take a while to get used to the looks. Just like the previous model :/
100% agree!
Prefer the previous 6series.. This look ugly, or perhaps its just that i haven adopt its looks yet =P
The back reminds me of proton pesona
Omg…now that you mention it…
Better get your eyes checked, friend..
Common, it’s just an opinion. I know tthis is a bloody sexy BMW, take it easy… my friend….
Seriously, it does!
much uglier than predecessor. similar to 5 series get bigger nostril which is annoying.
Yeah, it is isn’t it, just like the 5 series, i didn’t like it either, UNTIL i saw live! Its quite different in real life.. so i hope this would be a nice suprise to in real life..
Good car for my son…
I really, really, wish that car designers would stop trying to pretend that signal lights and reverse lights don’t exist in the rear light cluster.
LOVE that straight, strong line running along the side.
Overall a very aggresive, planted look. Nice.
a lil bit dull aint it? when bangle was at bmw he put a bit of spice into it…now its all the same face…
When Bangle was at it, BMWs stopped looking Teutonic and strong. People who like Bangle designs should flock to Hyundai these days, they’re learning a thing or two from the Bangle era.
Good car for my son
This car design is years ahead of its competitors.
maybe you can enlighten us on its competitors in terms of make and the model?
good car for WahPiang & Strat’s children…
This is the bomb!very sexy front
very nice sophisticated bumpers design integration with the body! another masterpiece..
Shark? duhhh… it looks like a wildeebeast with the stretched bonnet. don’t believe me, check this wikipedia image

Already they are replacing the 6 series? I quite like this new slimmer and athletic design language of BMW, no more scowling face.
gud car for my wife…..
everytime i look at bmw’s, i see a well design engineering..
bmw like to play with lines..
the cockpit is the place to have satisfaction..
although their rival has some good engineering too,but i still have special interest with bmw..
I like the concept design better :/

it is a reinforced summer tyre for passenger cars.It has runflat system.
Run flat tyres
The run flat feature uses a reinforced side wall that, in the event of the tyre bursting, holds it in shape, preventing it from springing out of the rim. This means that in the case of a flat, it’s possible to drive a further 150 miles at 50 mph. All run-flat tyres have the RSC symbol (Run Flat System Component) on the sidewall. Run-flat tyres don`t need any special rims, but only function with vehicles that are equipped with a functioning air pressure control system.
VERY NICE BMW!
Reminds me of the 8 series my uncle owned once.. beautiful car, so much electronic issues..
What’s up with BMW nowadays?
