Photo Rendering: Next generation BMW 6-Series
Posted on: May 11th, 2007

The kings of photo renderings, AutoBild, are running this rendering of the next generation BMW 6-Series. According to this rendering, the front headlamps seem to be inspired by the 5-Series, being taken into the body. You can also see larger air intakes which probably means more power for the next generation 6-Series.

AutoBild renderings in the past have been proven to be very close to production models for many cars including their rendition of the 2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class (which was made two years before the official launch).

All ready another generation of 6-series. Seems like they just changed it yesterday. BMW is like every year and Lexus is every century

The current generation is indescribably better looking than this rendering. Didn't it come out last year?

When I read the title, I was like

ummm, there's no way that they can make it uglier than the current generation.

But they did!!!

Out of the entire BMW lineup the 6 and Z coupe are the only I'd consider buying. This CGI is awful. Don't make it look like this BMW.

The narrow headlights + grill remind me of the 8-series.

The front end is pretty much the same as the current one, but, though the posted picture gives only a limited view, the trunk and rear end DO appear to be somewhat better-loooking.
