Spy photos show a 6-Series 4-door coupe model that will compete against the likes of the Audi A7 Sportback

Here is another set of spy shots of the upcoming 2013 BMW 6-Series Gran Coupe with the M-Sport Package doing some testing on the Nürburgring.

We've previously reported on the details of this upcoming 4-door coupe from BMW, which will compete head-on with the Audi A7 Sportback and the Mercedes-Benz CLS.

But we'll give you the recap:

The Gran Coupe will be based on the 5-Series and will share the same wheelbase length as that model but will be longer than the Mercedes CLS-Class. It will come with frameless door-windows but will have a B-pillar. 

Under the hood we expect a 300 hp (224 kW / 304 PS) 3.0-liter six-cylinder, a 400 hp (298 kW / 406 PS) 4.4-liter V8, a 3.0-liter turbo-diesel with 204 hp (152 kW / 207 PS), a 3.0-liter turbo-diesel with 245 hp (183 kW, 248 PS), a hybridized 3.0-liter petrol with a 54 hp (40 kW / 55 PS) electric motor, and a twin-turbo V8 with 555 hp (408 kW / 563 PS) to 570 hp (425 kW / 578 PS).

The 2013 BMW 6-Series Gran Coupe will make it to dealer showrooms sometime in late 2012.

Thank you for the video link! This car is looking more and more beautiful. I like how from most angles, you can't tell is a four door version. It really blends with the coupe. Plus it looks lower to the ground than the 5 series. Very athletic and very beautiful.

Something about a 4 door six series bothers me, why not just get the 5. I'm sure it would be cheaper. The 6 was always supposed to be the 2 door version of the 5 series, much like the clk was the 2 door e class at the time.

Recently I've seen strange numbers in WCF articles related to 6-series. BMW doesn't have a 204 hp 3.0 liter diesel, it's 2.0 liter 4 cylinder. also as the Coupe model, this model will get the 300 hp 3.0 liter diesel not the 245 hp version.

BMW has a 204hp 3.0 inline-6 diesel which produces 430Nm of torque, its the one used in the outgoing E90 325d, but I doubt this will be used in the 6-series. The new 525d uses a 218hp 2.0 liter inline-4 diesel which produces 450Nm of torque, this will most likely be the engine they will use.

Likely to cost more than equivalent 5er but less than equivalent 6er and besides that I don't see why they need it. Audi has A7 as their big 'coupe' and I don't see why Merc and BMW need to have 3 models with a mix of different roof styles an door numbers.

The A7 is a big hatchback lol...If only Audi could fix the ugly rear on the A7 it would be decent. The 6 gran coupe is lower wider, and more stylish than the 5 series. It?s to cater to extroverted vs introverted personalities. You get the styling of a 6 with the space of a 5... It?s actually a great idea, with low development costs.

The Jag XJ is far classier than any modern BMW, and it weighs almost 400 lbs less than a BMW 550i. For legal reasons, brands cover their badges until their official release.

I thought I was the only one who missed the BMW brainwashing meeting... There really is little to see here. Other than a not bad looking sedan.
