This car looks very similar to the current car. Is it possible that they are using the old shell just for testing the engin and other dynamics? I llike the CS concept very much… that would have been a good 6er shape. I like the crisp folds of the metal. It echos precision and lightness. the gentel folds are very normal and safe and look heavy.

Well, Concept CS is all over the lineup right now, but sadly BMW is no longer bold enough to put that exact car in the market. I guess is ‘safe-designs times’. Anyways, a CS would blow the competition away!

If it just looked as the Z9 Grand Turismo Concept… (sigh) This BMW has to compete against Aston Martins and Porsches 911. Please BMW, don’t make it wrong…

It still has a bit of a bangle butt, you can see the slight difference in angles at the back

the current 6er is really a stunning great car , I dont expect too much from new one , it should be the best looking in bmw lineup , but I doubt that from thee pictures , bmw is playing safe , bangle was the king

I see a very ‘safe’ design coming. It will be no doubt a nice car, nothing to alienate current customers. Sadly, the days of controversial but incredibly cool cars are over.

Need it be wider and longer? A sports car should be cute and powerful-neednt be monstrous.

the 635i’ll have the N54 L6 3.0? why not the N55?
or 635i with 306hp (N55) and 640i with 360cv (N55 bi-turbo).

what about the 6er coupè? I haven’t seen test mules..
I think that hard top will increase weight too much… it doesn’t make sense if there will be also the coupe model… I hope that it’ll not be replaced by the convertible with hard top.

Seems like all new BMWs are moving to a more ‘safe’ design. So don’t get your hopes high too much…

Are you sure about the hard top? Cause all the test mules we’ve seen so far had a real soft top. You can even see the ribs underneath. I wouldn’t be surprised if it comes out as a soft top – weight and packaging being the reason. Time will tell…

I’m releaved to read about it being ‘radically different’. But I hope it’s towards a more daring side, not a more safe side. The overall shape of this test mule looks very similar to the current car. As long as it looks low and mean, it’s gonna be ok.
