New 6 Series Spotted in Cape Town. F12/ F13?

[jeff_denning]

Apologies if this is the incorrect model, from what I can see - it's the F12. If it isn't, I'll correct the title.

Anyway, it's new :rollsmile:

What an absolute beast of a car, it's massive!

It's quite frustrating liking this car soooo much, only to not be able to own one! I see one almost everyday since it's release. Yesterday, I saw the coupe AND the drop top! Man I love this new 6!

I think this has been available in SA since November 2011. Awesome car!

Have to agree. R1,2mil is too much. Thats in the same range as a Audi R8 V8, Nissan GTR R35, Porsche Carrera 4S, even a decent 2nd hand, low kilometer 911 Turbo.

I kinda disagree. This car offers 1000 times more in the way of luxury and comfort than the other cars mentioned. If you are looking at speed only, then sure its lacking when compared to some other cars, but the premium features and luxury of a German car like the BMW 6 series is why it is so expensive. It also has awesome performance. The only one you list above that I would consider would be the GTR, but its by no means a comfortable drive with even less comfort features.

Anyway, we get ripped here in SA when it comes to cars.

Tend to agree with Seether on the pricing. Back in the past the 6 Series was mostly compared to the Merc SL. Look at prices today of a new SL, and the 6 is a bit of a bargain.

Crazy cash... Boy is it pretty though!

Saw three the other day driving in a row out of JSN Motors

True... But BMW will never have cars to compete with Mercedes Benz, in the top model portfolio.

Pricing wise, I also think it's a bit pricey. For R1.2million you can even pick up a Bentley Continental GT with like 25k - 35k on the clock, or a Merc CL63 or CL65. Each to their own though.

It's a beast of a car though. Auto Alpina Boksburg had a burgundy one with those light grey/white seats (why anyone would want those, I dont know), with the Bang & Olufsen sound system... I started the car in the dealership, and all the people there turned around when that beast came to life. Too too awesome.
