From Motor Authority comes these stunning renderings ... clearly influenced by the Concept CS.

WOW !! it certainly looks like the CS, the good news is that the new 5 will also borrow from this design language...............and hopefully the new 7 , those last photos we saw of the 7 looked bland.............. this looks hot !

Edit: I missed the rear shot , that's not so hot , looks like an Infinity to me , the current tail is much better. IMHO

The front end is Damn Ferrari-esque, and I have to agree with westcoast....back end looks like it was STOLEN off of an Infiniti, :thumbsdown: still a VERY nice looking car!!

I am not a big fan of the south end of the current 6. To me, this is an improvement and still has a touch of the old back side. As for the front, I like it very much. Not so sure of the discontinuity of the line from front to rear. But maybe that would grow on one as well. Over all, I think its quite an improvement if it is the new 6.

its a bad photoshop of the e63 and the concept....obviously the CS has taken alot of design cues from the e63 already and then advanced them forward, so the new fxx 6 series will surely have some of the new CS design cues incorporated, but this is just purely the concept pshopped on the current e63 body...in any case, the new 6er will be hothothot
