Re: Autobild: new BMW 6er (F13) impression

Yes that's the one . look at the shoulder line and how it forms an interpretation of the rear of the current car where the rear wing meets the bootlid and allows the lights to be placed on each corner. That is very representitive of the F13 - The Brief is :" It's already a good looking car lets extend it's design and evolutionize it's appearence. Lets not go too crazy!"

The front headlights will be of the new design as seen on the CS Concept but will not have the circular cut out just a straight across slit. The Cabrio will extend it's appeal by offering a folding Hardtop and BMW are working with a (Supplier) on reinterpretating the current cars fin roof design with a folding hardtop configuration - One idea shows the rear glass area connected from the rear side windows to the rear wind deflector glass piece with the roof folding over giving the Cabrio a look similar to the rear butress of the Ferrari F599 GTB.
Although perceived as a GT Coupe by many circles BMW want to now take the 3rd generation back to it's roots and be credible when facing it's more serious performance rivals.
