2012 BMW 6-series convertible (F13) soft top and body revealed

Here we are:

Some more info here.

Hmmm... I know of a thread where this would have been a nice addition alongside that lovely Z concept. Funnily enough I found this post on a VW forum and they love it. Much nicer then the Eos they offer.

My thoughts:

It looks a lot smoother then the last 6er. Which Im not sure if I like. Its carried over those boxey tailpipes from the new 7 which i think looks very modern and mildly intimidating. Is that a hint of LED lights in the rear clusters?

It looks very much like a 7 series from the front? And to anyone who mocked the bigass grills on other cars... How big are those vents? Looks pretty evil.

Oooh and a hardtop version will also be released. Bring on a hardtop M6 of this and I may lose a kidney.

I think the paint job detracts from the overall perception.
Better matt black?

Hehe - The paint job is meant to do that. Its not officially released yet.

I also read an article on the new CLS AMG and even it was plastered with tape and funny patterns.

It looks like a crossword puzzle, for spastic people, but I'm sure its gonna be NAICE when its released...
I hope they put better wheels on it !

 

[Mike1]

Or even up the size of those. I quite like them. Simple yet effective. :dunno:

or drop the suspension, looks err.. "floaty" ...

I hope that isnt a sign of the ACC system in the new Audi's and VW?

An air ride suspension that changes for different driving styles but leaves you with almighty wheel gap even in sport mode.

:nono:

In fact. Those rims are almost identical to the rims on the new Jags:
