BMW officials have just officially announced that the BMW Concept Gran Coupe Concept will be produced as part of the 6-series line.

It will be the 6-series Gran Coupe sedan and will join the 6-series coupe and convertible.

I have to say I really like that look compared to the old one. I was not a fan at all of the previous model. That front-end looks awesome. Looks like a great car so far.

My thoughts are that it is going to be a direct competitor to the Mercedes Benz CLS series.

I like it, it looks better than the current CLS.

the 2012 CLS turned ugly in front.

there's no better timing for the gran coupe to come out.

Not to be outdone by the likes of the Mercedes-Benz CLS, Porsche Panamera, Aston Martin Rapide or Audi A7, BMW will reportedly be building a production version of the Gran Coupe concept that debuted at this year's Beijing Motor Show. It may be a late arrival to the growing segment of swoopy luxury sedans, but BMW will indeed poise the Gran Coupe to offer just as much in the way of technology and refinement as the lot of its competitors.

Based on the next-generation 6 Series, the Gran Coupe is set to launch sometime in 2012 and will share its powertrains with what we're seeing in the 5, 6, and 7 Series BMWs, including a possible hybrid variant. Naturally, the production Gran Coupe will slot between the 5 and 7 Series in terms of size and price, and if the overall design doesn't change too much, it'll certainly be an attractive addition to the BMW lineup.

It has a serious overbite, making the hood look too long. Otherwise, a classy and sexy car. This would be the first BMW I'd lust over. Everything up to now has been caca.

I still think this is what the 5 series should have been, as I don't really see a coupe-like shape or roofline.

+1. It looks really good, not a 'coupe' per se, but a very nice looking sedan.
