But in the meantime we thought it appropriate to wet your appetite a bit with some photos of the past few days. Starting off with the new 650i.

One of our absolute favorites sites about one of our absolute favorite places in the world captured a pair of new 6 Series this week getting some fine tuning. Bridge to Gantry caught prototypes of both the M6 and the 6 Series xDrive doing some hot laps on the ‘Ring. After seeing the two cars in person attack the famous track here’s their take:
These photos are from Wipperman, where cars must transition from one lateral loading to the next at over 80mph, over cambers and kerbs. The red 6-er here wasn’t worried at all.

Official Release: Outstanding innovations in the area of vehicle and safety engineering have always characterised cars from the BMW Group. With many technological leaps forward, BMW has often been the pacesetter for the entire automobile industry. The sensor system-based, environment-networked driver assistance systems from BMW ConnectedDrive such as the camera-based Speed Limit Info launched in 2008 have been the innovation drivers. Now, BMW has taken the lead once again with the vehicle’s external lighting, the “Dynamic Light Spot”. The “Dynamic Light Spot” is a spotlighting system that automatically directs a beam of light onto pedestrians at an early stage, thus alerting the driver. In critical situations, the safety gain for pedestrians and for the passengers in the vehicle is enormous. Another feature that BMW has presented is the “Glare-free high beam assistant”. The system locates vehicles approaching from the opposite direction and vehicles ahead, and prevents glare, despite the high beam being switched on. In this manner, the high beam component is significantly increased, which also brings about a sustained improvement in safety. Another gain in safety, not to be underestimated is the new, optional full-LED headlight, now debuting in the new BMW 6 Series Coupé.
