Good News, but the BMW 6 production version Convertible comes out before the production coupe? Or is this the concept version convertible?
Either way it always nice to see something new.

We have been told more than a 10 times by Scott that the production convertible will debute first. Meaning we will see the official photos in November 2010. and first production in April 2011. Coupe will be avialible in September 2011 as l can recall.

JOY FLOWS... tonight.
The issue with Cabrio and Coupe is officially - released early to capitalize on the early Spring Convertible market. Unofficially, the abandonment of the original folding hard-top concept after so much work was completed brought delays to the Coupe development.
Due to launch cycles for new models coming at shorter intervals for eg - 5er and 5er Touring within four months compared to a year between E60 and E61.
The 6er Coupe will be launched At Geneva in March.

It was found that too much weight over the rear axle hindered the car's dynamics. The balance needed was not being found with the hard-top.
This new 6er is a more dynamic type of car than the E63 and E64.
In original development engineers spent as much time with the BMW Classic fleet, E24 635 Coupes than they did with the E63/E64.
