2004 BMW 6 Series coupe
* Our last 6 Series experience was in 1989 in the 635CSi with the 3.5-liter six-cylinder. Chris Bangle-he of the 7 Series trunk lid and latest 5 Series headlights-created this reincarnation of the high-end sport coupe. There's still that trunk lid to contend with, but the headlights look more correct, as on the new Z4. The 4.4-liter V8 in the 645Ci-pulled from the 745Li-will make sweet music, and we can't wait for the chance to try it out prior to its April '04 on-sale date. The 328 hp making a 5.6-second 0-to-60mph time won't hurt, but the $68,000 might.

I have to admit I am starting to worry a bit. I have yet to see any refrence to an M6. Do we have any substantial info one way or the other ?

It is kinda strange that during development of the e60, we saw spy pics of the M5, at least over the last 6 months or more. The 6 looks pretty finished, and is slated to go on sale in the not too distant future, and nothing about a M version.

And it sounds like Autoweek does not like the headlights on the e60, but what do they know?

info about whether or not there will be a M6?

I dont know for sure, but Ive read enough magazines that say- its coming. It seems to be about 12 months behind the M5.

They would be fools not to play on the history. It seems pretty much everyone EXPECTS and M version.
