This may come as a huge surprise, but like Gabe, I actually am a fan of the new 6 Gran Coupe. Since we first heard that BMW was going to build this car I’ve been a skeptic- with good reason as it is entering a market full of coupes that are sedans. There is a Benz, a VW, and an Audi to go along with an Astin and I’m sure I’m missing one or two that are being touted as four door coupes (Panamera?). I don’t understand the fascination with this concept but it seems to sell in acceptable numbers.

With the CLS, Mercedes proved that there was a market. With the A7, Audi proved that there was room to make it interesting. Now with the Gran Coupe BMW has proven that they can produce something perhaps more covetable than either. When we first saw the test mules of the GC we wondered how a stretched version of the already large 6 Series could be anything less than ungainly. The thought of a 6 Series growing two extra doors made us think of those enormous four door trucks dotting American highways. Yet somehow the car (all 5,007cm of it) feels elegant and purposeful. But how do the looks stack up to the best sedans to wear the roundel? Or perhaps a better question is, how does it stack up to the best looking large coupes on the market. continued →

Along with the videos, photos and detailed information on the 6GC, BMW has now released the official wallpapers. Over processed? Maybe a little. But there are more than a few that are worth a closer look (after the break). continued →

The international version of the 6 Series Gran Coupe configurator is now online and ready for your clicks. The configurator is the same one found on all BMWs at BMW.com and not the more robust version found on BMWUSA.com. You can expect that likely after the first of the year (around the time we’ll also see pricing on the GC).

So the 6er Gran Coupe may just be the best looking four door BMW has made in years. Or just a bastardization of the already gorgeous her Coupe. Either way you can take a closer look via our full gallery of 100+ official photos after the break. continued →

The 6er Gran Coupe is here. But what does four doors in a coupe like body really mean? Let’s take a look at the full specifications (and a comparison to the 6er Coupe) after the break. continued →
