Me likes!

Very Aston-esque.
Too much chrome though, especially front grille.

Not sure about the grill, but rest looks great.

That's is going to be stunning! I wonder if an M8 with the V12 from the 760L or an S63 would get the green light!?

Also anyone wonder how much MPerf grills might cost for this size!

I see from the main thread it's to be shorter than the current 6. If true that is fantastic news and finally reverts the growth!!! How must the future 6 now size up, due to be more of a 911 size now, good good!

Also some new Autobild pics to me show it's really quite low. Beautiful car.

Bodes well for future design direction for BMW, which this apparently marks the start of

As mentioned minus the chrome it is beautiful. And if the size is as mentioned smaller than a 6 that'll be amazing.

As nice as the 6 is, it's a bit too much of a boat to be even slightly fun. Can't wait to see what the BMW range looks like in 5 years time. Should be good with the intro of more M Lite models, similar to Mercedes with their x43 AMG range
