Default BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe Spied
http://www.6post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=548274

Looks nice and I'm excited to see what the final 6GC looks like. I think it has a chance at being a a real standout in it's class considering that this generation of CLS is rather hard on the eyes (IMO) and I find the A7 to be almost equally as garish in appearance. Panamera is an eyesore, IMO.

I'd like to see a 6GC in black with the M Sport package...or just the M version!

Looks cool, but I wish BMW would have called it the 8 series.

So...it looks like nothing more than the current 5-series with the 6-series front and rear transplanted on. How grand.

Just a note, Paul, Brenda Priddy has been chasing people down for using her photographs without asking for permission, thus why I linked to the host website.

To be totally honest, the side profile kind of reminds me of the ES :

Hard to tell how it will look in the end, but so far so good. In my eyes, the design works better as a 4 door than a 2 door.

2013 BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe edges closer to production
BMW is using the design elements of its latest 6 Series to create its first foray into the four-door coupe world with this, the 6 Series Gran Coupe. We'll likely see the finished product at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, and judging by these latest spy shots, the big four-door is indeed nearing completion.

That looks very attractive and not over the top. Good job BMW.

I like, but I would still rather have the 2-door 6-series ...

i kinda thought the same.

it just reminds me of a squashed ES or GS.

not a very good looking car.
Interior headroom must be worse than the 3GS.

I still like the new 5 series the best among the line up.

Much better than the 5-series and 5-series GT. What are the odds Lexus will treat us with a 4-door coupe?
