BMW 6-series Gran Coupe to be produced based on BMW Gran Coupe Concept

SCOTT26 · 04-23-2010, 09:27 AM

SEE ALSO: BMW Concept Gran Coupe Info/Media Official Thread

The BMW Gran Coupe has been approved for production, the frameless windows will remain but the car still maintains a B-Pillar for Dynamic finesse.

The BMW Gran Coupe will be marketed as the... BMW 6er Gran Coupe.
Gran Coupe brings a new segment to BMW's portfolio and will spread to include other BMW models in the Future, just like Gran Turismo will.

This will bring a portfolio of three variants to the 6er , Coupe , Gran Coupe and Cabrio.

A Shooting Brake model to accompany the Gran Coupe has been designed and built for design and market evaluation.

The BMW Concept Gran Coupe will make it's European public debut later this year at the Paris Auto Show incidentally alongside another BMW Concept Car that will debut @ Paris.

The visual details of the front and rear of the Gran Coupe will be carried over to the new 6er Coupe.

Epic thumbs up Scott

Can you talk engines yet? I guess what I really want to know, is will the TT V12 make it under the bonnet of this beast?

Now this can surely compete against Audi's exterior designs.

Audi and Mercedes Design = Game Over.

There better be an ///M version.!

BCA · 04-23-2010, 10:40 AM

Is it just me or does this look a whole lot like the CS Concept that was killed?

Looks awesome regardless

Shooting Brake!!?? What the heck is the 5GT? That to me is a quasi shooting brake already.

Frosty · 04-23-2010, 11:12 AM

...I always looked at the two door wagon as a shooting brake... not a coupe' but that is just me?

Maybe the shooting brake version will be a two door?

Coupes are 4 doors now. 2 doors on each side. CLS, CC, and now the new bmw grand coupe

I'd be disappointed if the 6 series Coupe would receive a saloon front end like this Gran Coupe. It should have a more sporty and distinctive GT front end.

As an addition to the 5 series saloon, the Gran Coupe is a stunning design. The current 6er is not a two door 5 series. Keep it that way.

Lance_Goodthrust · 04-23-2010, 12:36 PM

A 4-door coupe?? Isn't that an oxymoron?

BMWinNorthdakota · 04-23-2010, 12:40 PM

Zinggggggg!!! Wow this thing is secks

e92miami · 04-23-2010, 01:04 PM

Not digging the Lexus exhaust pipes BMW is now using but other then that it looks great.

serali · 04-23-2010, 01:05 PM

I just hope BMW could produce a R8-rival
