Oh Hi: 2012 BMW 6-Series*

Ladies and gentlemen say hello to the third generation 6-series coupe.

BMW, in a bit of an odd move, showcased the production 6-series cabriolet a few months back but this is the first time we’ve seen official pics of the coupe.

There are no real surprises considering we’ve already seen the cabriolet, but my goodness is it ever nice to look at.

So far the only engine choice is BMW’s superb 4.4 litre V8 which makes 400 horsepower and 450 pound feet of torque which is good enough for a 4.8 second 0-100 sprint time. BMW’s eight speed automatic is available, but don’t worry a proper six-speed manual is also in the cards for us to prefer to row our own gears. Thanks for that BMW!

A host of luxury and tech features are available including a 10 inch high res screen, lane departure warning, rear on top view cameras and a 3D heads up display.

But I’m willing to guess you won’t care about any of that stuff when you take this thing out for a weekend cruise. The 6-series really is the ultimate GT car!

Pricing has yet to be announce but expect it in the $90,000 range. Also expect an M6 to follow, likely after the 2012 M5 bows its brow to the world.
