Most automakers tend to unveil hardtop models before their convertible counterparts, but BMW is shaking things up a bit with its new 6-Series. The German automaker pulled the sheet on its 6-Series convertible at January’s Detroit Auto Show, but the car’s hard-top variant won’t make its public debut until April’s Shanghai Auto Show.
Although we have yet to see any official photos of the new 6-Series coupe, it seems safe to assume it will closely follow the design of the recently unveiled convertible. The 6-Series’ coupe variant was also previewed by the Concept 6-Series Coupe.
The 6-Series coupe will likely arrive in base form as the 640i. Like the 640i convertible, the 640i coupe will be powered by a 320 horsepower version of BMW’s turbocharged 3.0L six-cylinder. BMW’s 407 horsepower 4.4L V8 will also be available in the 650i coupe.
The 6-Series coupe and convertible should be on dealer lots by spring. Pricing has yet to be announced, but expect a slight premium over the current car.
