Oh Hi: 2012 BMW 6-Series*

Okay, technically this is still a concept, but clearly it’s 95% ready for production. I’m not quite sure why BMW has decided to start doing this of late – calling a car that’s obviously ready for production a concept (remember the Gran Coupe Concept?), but it seems to be BMW’s new theme so we’ll just ride with it. The production version of the 6-series will apparently be slightly lowered and slightly wider, which is fine with me.

The new 6-series is very much done with the Bangle era. There is an array of LED’s up front and behind, with the 6-series taking on more of a family resemblance.

Expect power to come from different naturally aspirated and turbocharged inline sixes. When the M6 comes out, it will likely have the same V8 that the new M5 is going to get.

More pics, plus interior shot after the jump.

UPDATE: Video now added after the jump. Don’t get too excited though, the 6-series isn’t in motion in the video or anything.
