Arrow BMW 6-series Coupe Concept officially revealed!

via http://www.bimmerpost.com

Looks almost like that gran coupe concept theyve been showing recently.
Pretty attractive, especially the side view and that glass roof is nice too.

i like the side look. the taillights should have remained as is IMO. it looks like its kinda blending in with the 3/5 series.

Side profile looks like the current Accord coupe. Overall I have alot of mixed emotions about it. Some of the proportions are very questionable at best.

Looks like a 5 series with 2 doors cut off. Not sure why BMW wants to make their front ends look so damn challenging.

Not a fan so far.

Interior looks great, I really like it. The exterior however, I am not a fan. Why does the exterior look so soft? There is nothing aggressive about the exterior, and it just looks so plain. I agree that it looks like a 2-door 5 Series.

Things are just going to get worse when the new 3-Series comes out. All Bimmer cars will look extremely similar then, and it will be hard to tell them apart. I find it very hard to tell apart the new 5 and 7 on the streets.

Despite all the hate Bangle got, his designs were not boring and you could EASILY tell apart a 3, from a 5 and from a 7.

Also despite some criticism of the new Benz designs, I think we must applaud Mercedes here. The new E Class looks different than the C or S, yet they each look like a Benz in their own way.

Not a beauty, but looks a lot better than the current one for sure, and that hideous trunk lid is gone ......

Interior reminds me of the TUndra....way to much going on, getting me dizzy like the M37/56 interiors. It does seem much higher in quality than the last model.

Rear angle is nice.

Did BMW drop the orange gauges for Lexus like ones? Seems so.

Mixed emotions here.

The profile is nice and looks very much a 6 series. The front is a little soft and stretched out, and I don't feel like the different elements in the rear flow very well.

I guess we will see what is lost in translation to the production model...might look better.

i wish they'd stop with the xmas lights fad.

The headlamp itself looks aggressive enough, but the led strip below it makes the surrounding body look bland.

I just noticed that this is pretty much the same front end as the gran coupe, But since the gran coupe concept was presented in black, I didn't notice the LED strip under the eyes.


LED delete-
