    The Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance is still a fresh, frenetic memory, but I've spent the last two days driving some of BMW's newest hardware up and down California's central coast. Between clipping canyon apexes and whirring along in high-tech quietude, it became clear: the new 6er coupe is about...

  • 2013 BMW 6-Series Gran Coupe with M Sports Package spy shots

    We know that a new BMW 6-Series Gran Coupe is in the works, a car first previewed by the Concept Gran Coupe at the 2010 Beijing Auto Show and destined to go on sale in the second half of next year. Today, we have new spy shots of the same car, this time fitted with its optional M Sports Package. Looking virtually identical to the M Sports Package being readied for the standard 6-Series Coupe and Convertible, the latest styling and performance kit for the new 6-Series Gran Coupe gives the dynamic four-door coupe an even sportier look thanks to some distinct M design cues. We can clearly see a...

  • 2012 BMW 650i Coupe

    Though we've known about the six-cylinder version of the 2012 BMW 6-Series Convertible since its unveiling last November, we hadn't yet received confirmation that it would be sold in Coupe form in the U.S. It now looks like it will be, according to Autoblog. That's good news for fans of the new 6er's styling, as the 640i will likely be a bit less expensive than the V-8-powered 650i. The single-turbo N55 engine doesn't come up too short on power, either, with 320 ponies on tap and 332 pound-feet backing it up. That's 87 horses short of the V-8, but still pretty strong. Unfortunately, the...

  • 2012 BMW 6-Series M Sports Package leaked

    While it isn’t the high-performance M6 we’re all waiting for, the latest M Sports Package for the recently revealed 2012 BMW 6-Series Coupe does give the dynamic luxury two-door an even sportier look thanks to some distinct M styling cues. Though we’ve only seen spy shots of prototypes before, this time the car has been fully unmasked thanks to a leak via an online advertisement for the regular 6-Series Coupe in the Netherlands. Comparing the leaked shot to the previously spied prototypes, it’s evident that this isn’t a photoshopped fake and is in fact the new M...
