    A large cabrio (coupe coming soon) in traditional BMW style.

    Finally the spirit of Bangle is being exorcised.

    I love it, very nice design. BMW is going in the right direction. That being said, i'd never go for a cabrio 6er.

    The rear looks much better than the front. Huge double grill and plain front lights shape are not my cup of tea. But I hope live will look much better.

    They have not released any official pictures of the 6 Series coupe yet (production version and not 6 Series Concept), or have I missed something?

    The Coupe will follow some 6 months later. They haven't followed the established pattern of the closed version preceding the cabrio.

    That 'stripe' that flows from passenger side of the dashboard towards the center console is ruining the whole car for me
