September Update Prt 2: What has gone before...

[SKY]

All this time thinking Merc was wrong with the S-Coupe, E-Coupe, C-Coupe and another small Coupe to come, and now BMW wants another Coupe?.

 

[Jng]

If design is different enough, just renaming the 1er and 3er to 2er and 4er should be enough to meet the rivals.

 

[bmer]

Doesn't sound like a good plan to me. 5-series Coupe made with this cost-cutting method is ought to become as succesful as the 3-series Compact. If BMW was seriously thinking about this they would probably have given the 6er another production code than F12.

 

[Giannis]

Hmm... 5er cabrio... Where did I see it after that E34 M5 convertible... Ah! The E60 convertible. This one is fitted with optional E36 interior

 

[K-A]

AH! Make it go away!

 

[SCOTT27]

A waste of a good E36 and E60 for that matter.

 

[south]

Agreed. Now go out and wash your Countryman!

I guess s'pimp meant the fake E60 convertible and not your car, but thanks for the hint.

The 6 Series would need to be evolved past that of the current generation into more a CL competitor. Over-saturation of the market isn't always necessary to maintain growth. Producing the best cars on the market however, is. BMW should be concentrating on the upcoming 3 Series.

I guess the 6series really needs to be different for a 5series coupe to exist. The 6series is in the middle between stuff like the A5 and CL, push it up towards a CL but that would make the 6series a 7series coupe, but with a "lower" series number while probably costing more. So why not just keep the 6series as a 5series coupe, and introduce an 8 series?

 

[GreyCoupe]

Instead of seeking out and moving towards competition, BMW should celebrate having identified, filled, and profited from discovering a fairly uncrowded gap!

Vive la serie
6 nuova!,

 

[K-A]

I wish they'd to a proper 8-Series. The 840I/850I is such a legend.
