Rendered Speculation: 2011 BMW 6-Series

 Rendered Speculation: 2011 BMW 6-Series
2011 BMW 6-Series Artists Rendering / Copyright by Arvarvarii/promotor.ro

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.

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
