Spied: BMW prepping minor facelift for 2008 6-Series

BMW is preparing a minor facelift for the 2008 6-Series coupe and convertible. The 6-Series first came on the market as a 2004 model and undergoes a minor restyling mid-cycle.

Most of the changes will probably only be noticeable to diehard Bimmer fans. Our two photos show a prototype at the Nürburgring in Germany featuring a new front bumper with new air intakes and some changes at the rear end like bumper and brakelight.

Very very subtle... this raises another question... that will be posted in another thread...

i was hoping for more.. i thought they would fix the front..ohh well

BMW doesn't want to P off current customers w/ radical refreshments of current cars, this also works to the resale advantage in keeping the prices at a premium.

How do you explain the 7er then?

Good question, how do you?

My explanation is that the 7er facelift was hatched at a point where the BMW directors were pretty nervous about the tidal wave of negative press that exploded upon its release in 2001.

The 6er was born at a different stage and benefits from some better hindsight and the fact that the Bangle policy was actually embraced by consumers. Since there's no real "fix" to be done in the eyes of today's public, I expect a facelift that's pure details and nothing more.

I don't think the 6er will be left alone because BMW doesn't want to mess with a good thing - I think it'll be left alone because that's the expedient thing to do.

I was kinda hoping they would do that bulge on the hood. That would have been sweet.

Now that would be sweet... But it's like, so cool you know they woudn't do it.

That's reserved for the M6 CSL, I believe.

And what is there to 'fix' about the front? It's awesome as it is!!!

Yep, it's awesome, but it needs a little bit refreshment. New bumpers and stuff...
