Sorry Ric, it's a repost - but a very attractive one I love the look of that car, I think they will be producing it too which would make for a tough decision between that and the F10 for me.

Come on now pjinca, its not really a tuff decision unless they price this thing out of wack now is it???!!!
The f10 design is boring, old-ish looking, perhaps luxurious on the inside, and a real porker with a flat nose!!!
So, unless the Grand coupe in production form veers significantly from the concept, its not even a question as to which car will be more sporty and fit as the proper evolution of the BMW sport saloon. BMW really missed the mark with the f10, but thankfully this may resolve that major error. i just hope its out earlier than mid '12, i have a date with a new car in early '12!!!!

Whoa! Look at those crazy halos!

I like it much more than the F10, that's for sure.

Okay, I got to agree with you. The only thing that kept me for really considering the 6 series was the fact that I need 4 doors - I have kids. If this car looks like the concept and comes in an M version - it's a no brainer

it will be nice to see too if they keep the 6 series theme inside, one of the nicest things about the e63 interior is that it wraps around you like a cockpit, and feels intimate even though the car is very wide...im looking for 4doors next time 'round too, so im very happy that this is a real option...

Damn that's a sweet looking ride. I could totally see me and Victor rolling in it. It depends on pricing and on whether those swoopy lines will compromise trunk room and rear seat headroom as swoopy lines often do. We are a one car family so our ride has to be a jack of all trades. But that is a worthy competitor in the looks department to the gorgeous looking MB CLS.

The latest Bimmer magazine reports that this car may already be in production and will most likely be called an 8 series, not a 6.
