Me too. It's such a gigantic improvement over the current one, I like it, ALOT. No, I don't like those rims, and it looks a little busy in silver....but I bet in a dark color with better rims, it will look pretty damn good.
It's aesthetically "moddable" and it will bring out the best of its attributes.
The old one, even modded, it just looked strange to me, and not in a good way.

So far, none of the post-Bangle cars look as good....this 6 is no exception either. It looks too much like the 3 and that's not a good thing. The current car looks way more stylish and semi-exotic...befitting it's 70K price.
This car looks closer to the 3 and I hope it's priced lower. Which I am sure it won't be. BMW just seems to have lost its way.
The Bangle cars were bold and stylish. Trend setting and individualistic. This stuff is cookie cutter. What a waste.
None are ugly but not worth the premium cheddar.

In addition to the scorched orange 1 Series M Coupe at the BMW booth in Detroit was the new 2012 BMW 650i Convertible. Under the sharply creased (and rather long) hood lies a 400-horsepower, twin-turbocharged, direct injected V8 that manages to shove out 450 pound-feet of torque between 1,750 and 4,500 rpm. All that grunt will be sent to the rear wheels through either a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic transmission.
BMW claims the new 6 Series Convertible can drop its flying-buttress-equipped fabric top in exactly 19 seconds an there's also a 10.2-inch screen to control the standard iDrive technology package. Not bad, but such niceties are to be expected when you are asked to pay a wallet-busting $91,375 for the privilege of owning one, which you'll be able to do sometime in the spring of 2011.
Take a gander at the live photos in our high-res image gallery below, and if you decide this is exactly what your garage is missing, now would be a good time to start saving those pennies.

can we see the car with the wind deflector up? that was the stupid park about the current 6 vert
91k for what though, a base or loaded? my guess is loaded. but that's msrp, when it comes to lease or so 2 yrs from now, it will be another story
