That is one beautiful station wagon. I am amazed how good BMW got at making wagons. They were quite behind AUDI before F10. But F10 and this are looking mighty awesome!

It's looking fantastic indeed. Too bad we are again not getting an M5 Touring

And I agree with the E60 Touring not being the best, but the E46, E90, E39 and E34 Tourings were all beautiful. And the F31 is too.

I am curious to see how on the Touring they will incorportate that line that leads into the Hofmeister kink found on the sedan.

Oh yes.

 

[domleo999]

Oh yes.

M550I?

 

[SCOTT27]

The triangular exhausts suggest possible 540i?

G32 6-series with M Sport Package

[SCOTT27]

Awesome.

 

[hovabongZA]

Why not continue making this ugly thing a 5 Series GT instead of ruining the 6 series name. There's just no way that this thing will be good looking , it doesn't deserve the 6 series name . The current one is just gorgeous!

 

[domleo999]

Awesome.

So Scott how are BMW going to tackle the E coupe

It doesn't look bad, but would have preferred a profile like the 4er Gran Coupe. But lets wait to see the final product before passing judgement.

Excellent question.

Why not continue caking this ugly thing a 5 Series GT instead of ruining the 6 series name. There's just no way that this thing will be good looking , it doesn't deserve the 6 series name . The current one is just gorgeous!

It really doesn't. Not to mention, the front is very, very familiair to the G30.

 

[SKY]

Well, certanly that is far from being a nice car. The camo made it look like it was going to be closer to the current A7 from the side profile. Which is far from perfection, but at least look better than this stupid GT line by BMW, which is simply the worst idea the brand has ever had.

I remember the first day I saw a 3er GT IRL. What a shame for a brand to put your logo on the hood of such a terrible design.

By continuing to give all BMW Coupes defined rear wheel arches.

Seriously now. Think of the 6er Gran Turismo in the same way of the 2er Active/Gran Tourer right?
They are both opposites of the standard Coupe. So 2er returns in Coupe form. And so will the 6er.
One proposal is to introduce a new 6er. Shorter wheelbase and 2+2 seating but effectively for children or additional luggage. Modelled on the original E9 and E24 series. A production CSL Hommage if you will. But it will be more honed and aimed at purists unlike the E Coupe. It will be a sports car but with a more traditional upright BMW Coupe slant instead of the more dynamic offerings of the 4er and upcoming 8er.
It might not even receive a Cabrio/Roadster but there has to be an M variant considered.

That sounds very good! As long as it's bigger than a 4 series I'm happy!

Any timeline for such a vehicle? Based on the 5 series interior/exterior design?
