6 Series Grand Coupe

Django x2 · 12 Dec 2011 at 12:49

Err, seriously? Where does this fit in. Without arguing about the differences between a coupe / saloon / hatch, it's 4 doors for a start!

Is it set to compete with the A7 sportback?

I love the rear, but I still don't see a need for it.

That looks lovely

SAme here - looks lovely. Kinda like a huge A5?

[TW]Fox · 12 Dec 2011 at 12:52

It looks great but I share your sentiment. It's an A7 rival - another answer to a question nobody asked.

So what will this do that a 5 series won't?

CLS, A7, Aston rapid, Porsche panorama

Main competitors.

Its a four-door version of the two-door version of the four-door 5-series!

i think it looks a fair bit nicer than any other saloon BMW make at the moment! Will this fit in with 5 or 7 series prices? Or between?

It's a great looker.

It's in between, starting around £61k for the SE, £66k for the M-Sport. Available in 640i (2979cc, 6cyl turbo, 320hp) and 640d (2993cc, 6cyl twin turbo, 313hp) at the mo

Wait, what, 1min 3 in the second (interior) video. What's the point of them having the seatbelt on the seat (a la, convertible / coupe) and the mircoswitch for moving the seat back when there's a rear door? Hmmmm.

Rear passenger can command front seat away for more leg room.

Ie. markets where the buyer sits in the back. Ie China. Hence close at hand Infotainment.

It's a higher end product. Nicer inside, etc

Looks lush, it's an A7 rival. For people who don't like the saloon look of a 5/7 but still want the practicality and quality of car but with more styling looks.

I'd personally rather this than a 5/7 purely because this will do 90% that a 5/7 will do with 50% better looks for me.

Mind you I'm not going to drop £65k on one, hopefully it'll make a cracking second hand buy in a few years.

Sexy like a coupe, practical like a saloon.

Look way nicer!

Plus it shall be a depreciation bomb, 2-3 years these will be an epic bargain.

Looks awesome I think, but whats with that shocking colour combo!?
