Rendered Speculation: 2011 BMW 6-Series

Bold styling, updated engines

Some new artist rendering have surfaced showing what BMW's upcoming 2011 6-Series may look like.

While they're just one artist's interpretation, recent spy photos have shown the new 6-Series will feature aggressive styling that adopts several design cues from the Z4 roadster, 7-Series, and the CS concept.

Engine options will likely carry over from the current 6-Series, but the 360 hp 4.8-liter V8 will be replaced by the new 400 hp twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 from the new 7-Series. The M6 is also expected to drop its V10 engine with 500 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque for a slightly retuned version of the X5 M and X6 M's new 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 555 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque.

A Camaro-ized BMW?

Nah... just a horribly inaccurate chop is all.

Funny enough, the current 6 Series shares almost the exact dimensions of the 3rg gen Camaro.

Yea for real in a way it kinda does rememble the new Camero. I am not a fan of the Camero nor this new BMW. I think the front end on this BMW is ugle as well as the body style. If i had to choose between the Camero and this new BMW I would go with the BWM

i really really like it... reminds me of a shark for some reason... and for me its proportions are a little reminiscent of those of the 50s and 60s sports boats... i really really like it.

and i especially like that folding hardtop this particular designer predicts for the 6 series... that would be just too good to be true.

by the way, i love the current generation 6 series... for NOT being 'pretty'. it's weird and masculine and even kind of ugly... which is great on a gt coupe. love it... actually, the only current bimmer i really do like.

is it a drop top? I dont like it much, some of the lines on the car are way off...this could never get into production...

Resembles the old 8-series.

Maybe BMW should just buy the GM Camero and put a svelt BMW V8 in it.

Ew. The front is terrible, and the rear fender flares are ugly.

I don't think the car will look like this but it's a different design and i don't think it look as bad as you guys make it out to be. It's like all cars must have a similar design to keep you guys happy. As the saying goes: Variety is the spice of life. And that's Table Mountain in the background (Cape Town). My home town!

Are you kidding me! it looks like this car is a convertible with a metal roof. BMW get smart and look at Audi's convertibles. But them is only a redenering

The sad thing is that this non-corporate rendering is likely close to the real thing. BMW has gotten really predictable.

i dont care what it looks 'like' it is certainly a looker. if this is similar to what should be the next 6-series would look like then bangle's depature is a blessing.

The slanted front end reminds me the first generation of the 6 series, and I like it...

A Camaro? Are you people insane?

Oh dear, the Americans think they invented the car.

But seriously, I think this car looks sleek enough to be a modern day 8-series.

Hmmmmmmmmm, it seems that over the past 6 or so years BMW has made their cars with a "love it or loathe it" look. In the case of this 6-series ( albeit a rendered photo ) I'm not 100% convinced by it. Like, I don't mind the nose design ( providing that BMW sharpen the headlights so that they make the car look more masculinely aggressive. But the arse-end of the car I think has room for improvement. To improve it I think that BMW need to get rid of the folding metal roof and just have a fabric roof like the current-gen 6-series. They also need to extend the back-end out a bit to make it look a bit more proportional. So overall at this stage I'm 65% taken by the looks because at least BMW are going for the contemporary and trendy market. But if BMW want me to put pen to paper and give them a cheque, then they'll take the advice that I have just written here seriously. Oh, one other thing, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE KEEP THE V10! I love that engine.

No way the current 6 series has many fat features and the convertible m6 is a sick pimpmobil. This car looks to squirmy I trust bmw to do a much better job.

I kind of like the overall proportions and the slanted nose, but they need to remove the turn indicators on top of the headlamp cluster, this would reinforce the slanted front design and make it more aggressive.

OMG incredible car

Isn't this supposed to be somewhat lower for a sports coupe? Not to mention the whole rear end was copy/pasted from the new Camaro

Nice touch of Audis LED daytime lights. Even has the same shape!

The front of this car looks like a shark. It is somewhat the combination of CS concept and BMW Z8.

The Back Line - like on new Mercedes-Benz E-class, The front lights like on Mitsubishi lancer. And if we compare sizes of this car it's looks like new reborn 8-series not 6-series.

Ilike the front end of this car, but for me the turn-off of BMW is on the six series is the cheap plasticy inerior pieces they use and a such a high price for the car they should be doing better, Mercedes does it right There SL is amazing outside and in.
