The BMW 640i xDrive Gran Turismo is the latest attempt at getting people to like the idea of a Gran Turismo body style. This is perhaps BMWâs best attempt yet, but it still doesnât look quite right.
BMW is one of many carmakers guilty of naming things that are not coupes coupes. Which is what made the 6 Series Coupe coolâit was actually a coupe. With two doors and everything. But before you get too excited by this reminder, know that BMW isnât making them anymore.
Once you learn how to deal with the paradox of having a coupe that unmistakably has four doors, nothing will stop you from loving BMWâs 640d Gran Coupe.
Ahead of next month's Detroit Auto Show, BMW today unveiled a raft of improvements made to their 6-Series coupe, four-door Gran Coupe and convertible as the range enters the middle of its life cycle.
Like many of you, when I think of the BMW 6-Series, I think of this. But I've had to get over that as BMW's big coupe has expanded into the four-door real with the 6-Series Gran Coupe. Is adding a curvy wagon end the natural evolution of the model?
The E24 stayed in production for 13 years and is probably the most desirable classic BMW you can use today as a daily driver. But back in 1976, it was also the first BMW of the electronic age. If you don't believe me, just press TEST.
This year's New York Auto Show is quite emotional for me. I'm feeling verklempt. Talk amongst yourselves. I'll give you a topic. The BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe is neither a Gran nor a Coupe.
Meet the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe â the latest German sedan trying to con us into thinking that a slicked-back hairline can make it into a coupe. But, hey, at least BMW accidentally told us an "M" version is coming. UPDATE!
It's been some time since we've featured a report from our continuing look at people parking cars like asshats â like L.A. Lakers center Andrew Bynum, caught here sprawling his BMW 650i convertible across two handicapped spaces.
BMW's long-awaited four-door coupe model's apparently nearing the end of its development pipeline, as newly retrieved patent images indicate. The elegant new model will be essentially a four-portal 6 Series competing with the Mercedes-Benz CLS and Audi A7.
The 6er obsessives at 6post noticed this advertisement from the Dutch newspaper NRC Handelsblad, which appears to show the new BMW 6-series with the expected M-Sport visual tweaks, including the "not-quite-M" U-shaped intake.
The first photo of the convertible-ized 2012 BMW 6 Series has leaked out onto the internets. The design looks exactly like the BMW 6 Series Coupe Concept â except without a roof. [e90post]
This is the 2012 BMW 6-Series, but since it's wearing funky wheels, they're calling it a "concept car." Who cares, what it previews is the production realization of BMW's new styling language, known to cynical journalists as "less ugly."
BMW may call this the "Concept" 6 Series CoupĂŠ, but we'll call it what it is: a near-perfect first look at the 2012 BMW 6 Series. What's it show? How about a simplified, de-Bangled exterior and updated interior.
The 2007 Concept CS was a Shanghai surprise of refined Bangle-era BMW styling. Now, three years later, the German brand's trying to again redefine their look and feel with the Concept Gran CoupĂŠ â that'll make an elegant 6 Series.
According to BMW North America CEO Jim O'Donnell, the 2012 BMW 6-series will come with a radical new technology codenamed "good looks" that's apparently able to prevent passersby from vomiting at the sight of it. Ain't progress grand? [BimmerPost]
The E24 and E28 are pretty similar under the skin, so they get put in the same box here⌠and in that box, we find mostly sadness! Still, these cars have great LeMons potential, once the bugs have been worked out.
Those of you who followed the saga of Mad_Science's LeMons 6 Series know that some difficulties held them back at the Buttonwillow Histrionics over the summer. They've made a few changes since then.
As proof that this site serves as a corrupting influence on our readers, PCH Poster Child Mad_Science read our LeMons coverage and became convinced that building a LeMons car would be a good idea.
This premium sports coupe concept designed by Scuola Politecnica di Design graduate Iulian Bumbo, dubbed BMW S.X, shows a lot of promise in its taut, almost DB9-esque proportions. Seems like the perfect 6-Series replacement to us.
