6 Series Official Pictures : BMW 6er Convertible.
- Thread starter SCOTT27
- Start date
The BMW 6 Series is a range of grand tourers produced by BMW since 1976. It is the successor to the E9 Coupé. The first generation BMW E24 6 Series was available solely as a two-door coupé and produced from 1976 to 1989, when it was supplanted by the larger BMW 8 Series (E31). When the 6 Series nameplate was revived in 2004 for the second generation, the BMW E63/E64 6 Series, the coupé was joined by a convertible body style. The third generation F06/F12/F13 6 Series debuted in 2011 as a coupé and convertible, and a sedan variant known as the "Gran Coupé" in 2012. When the F06/F12/F13 6 Series ended production, the "Gran Coupé"/coupé/convertible models shifted into the more upmarket BMW 8 Series (G15) nameplate. The fourth generation 6 Series, the G32 6 Series, debuted in mid-2017 and is offered only as a fastback body style to complement the BMW 5 Series (G30) sedan/wagon.

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.

Why did you abondonn the hard top option ?

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.
