New 6 Series (M6 to follow): Story and Photo Gallery at GermanCarFans

There's a nice article and fresh photos of the new 6 Series (645i) at GermanCarFans.com.

I actually like the back end on this one (unlike the 745 and 545) but not so much the front.
Still strongly dislike the dash/console design (looks too 1970's for me).

I'll be interested to see what they do with the M6.

Here's the link, and some photos below:

I think the 6 looks good especially in some other pics I've seen (they had much nicer wheels).

I've hated Bangle's design with a passion, but you gotta give it to him this time. I actually really REALLY like this car. I think the 6-Series will be an awsome car. And I'm pretty sure it will start to look better once we all get used to it. I really like the interior, and the pic of the black car really looks mean.

saggy in the rear...ugly in front....boring interior.....looks like it has been bangle...ized!!!!

man i would hate to be a bmw car owner right now. they don't have one car that is attractive enough to trade up to. who would have thought one man could do so much damage. i don't know why the revolutionary design emphasis. bmw's autos were already attractive before this drunken plastic surgeon got his hands on them. can you saymy next car is going to be a Mercedes Benz....ah...i thought you could!

The M6 will only be subtly different.
It'll likely be the same degree of difference as seen between the 545 vs. M5 (photos of both are available).
You'll probably see 4 tail pipes and slightly different skirts.

But >90% of what you see in the 645i (both interior and exterior) is what you'll also see on the M6.

The rear doesn't look like a Chrysler, the rear looks like the Hyundai Tiburon.
