BMW 6 Series Coupe Concept will make its world premiere at the Paris Motor Show on September 30. Out goes the controversial styling of the Bangle-era 6-Series and in comes Adrian van Hooydonk’s (the new BMW design Chief) sleeker and more elegant but also far less adventurous design lines.
The all-LED design, featured for the first time on a BMW, produces a strikingly bright white light with very sharp and intensive road illumination. The functionality includes Adaptive Headlights, i.e. the headlight beam follows the road at all times.
The alloy wheels are sporty and exclusive character. The 20-inch multispoke wheels are a one-off design milled from a solid aluminium block. The individual spokes have an elaborate three-dimensional design, with precisely defined contours and weight-reducing milled openings running parallel to the direction of travel.
The driver-centric interior design is typical of BMW and a hallmark of a sports coupe, it’s equipped with the Head-Up Display system that offers world-beating functionality and display quality. Part of this experience is a hi-fi system that was developed specially for this concept model and sets new standards for in-car listening enjoyment.
BMW is holding back on the technical details, the basic architecture of the 2+2 coupe is shared with the latest 5-Series so expect rear-wheel drive along with a choice of straight-six gasoline and diesel units plus a twin-turbo V8 petrol linked to either manual or 8-speed automatic transmissions.
