We kid you not — the press release for the new 2008 BMW 6 Series is 25 pages long. Seriously. We've no idea why on God's green earth you'd need 25 pages to describe the new hardtop and drop-top versions of the 650i when we already all knew the facelift would be "mild." Heck, in the release lede, BMW calls this four-year-old model merely "A fresher look, new standard and optional equipment give the 650i Coupe and Convertible even more appeal for 2008." If you're just looking for the basics on the changes from last year — here they are: It's got a new electronic shifter, a new optional Sport Automatic with flappy paddle shifters and rpm matching on the downshift and umm — wait, there's got to be more. Here we go — LED taillights and the lane departure system. So the big news today is really the pricing — what's the damage? The base 650i coupe starts at $76,375 and the 650i convertible will set you back $83,475.

They've already morphed the iconic Communist-era GA3-21P (dig the so-sexy central-planning moniker) coupe into a reskinned BMW 850Csi as the Volga V12. Now they're continuing with the coachworks, creating the Volga V8 Roadster on the bones of a 650i cabrio. It uses the same chassis, powertrain, cloth top and mechanism, only with new sheetmetal. Da.
