For the 2007 model year BMW has decided to spruce up the 6-series coupe with a minor facelift. This spy image of a test mule caught at Germany’s Nürburgring shows that the new version remains similar to the current model. The major change is a restyled front bumper with the integrated fog lights moved inwards. Engine options don’t change either, although the 3.0L six in the base model may be replaced with the new twin-turbo unit to form a new 635i.
