The reveal of the new 2012 BMW 6-Series Coupe is just around the corner, with recent reports suggesting that a debut at the 2011 Shanghai Auto Show in late April is looking more and more likely. It’s safe to say that we already know pretty much what the new luxury two-door will look like, what powertrains it will come with, and how much it will cost, due primarily to the fact that the Convertible version has already been launched, but these latest spy shots reveal a few more details.

When you think of sweet-sounding V-10s, the natural tendency is to think of Lamborghinis, or perhaps the Dodge Viper, though tend to find its (brilliant) engine to sound a bit truck-like despite its face-stretching performance. But one car you probably don't think of is BMW's M6. That should change. Equipped with an Eisenmann race exhaust, the V-10-powered M6 in this video from e90post forum user DoctaM3 puts the car firmly in our exhaust porn keeper collection. Sadly, the end of the current-gen M5/M6 has brought with it the end of BMW's V-10 production, meaning we'll have to rely on the...

We already have a fairly good idea as to what the new 2012 BMW 6-Series will look like following the reveal of the Concept 6-Series Coupe back at the 2010 Paris Auto Show, as well as a leaked shot of the new 6-Series Convertible, which was taken while the car was in a photo shoot.

Reports that the BMW Gran Coupe Concept was approved for production emerged just days after its Beijing Auto Show debut this April. Now the word on the street is that it will wear a 6-Series badge when it goes on sale in 2012. The Concept CS-inspired Gran Coupe Concept should make a good fit within the 6-Series lineup. Its coupe-like lines and sporting proportions offer an alternative to the two-door model, while also allowing for more luxurious rear-seat treatment. The 6-Series name is also something of a matter of necessity: BMW has no other numeric space between the 5-Series and the...
