BMW Concept 6-series revealed

With 2 weeks ahead of the Paris Motor Show, BMW has released the first pictures of the Concept 6-Series Coupe. Introduced in a concept form, the new 6 Series showcases the latest design trends at BMW.

Though it’s a concept, the 2+2 coupe is very close to the production car set to arrive in North America in mid-2011.


Flowing lines and aesthetically sculpted surfaces define the design of the BMW Concept 6 Series Coupé, in which classic BMW coupé styling cues are given a modern rendition. Among the innovative details featured in this concept study are full LED headlights and a newly designed, freestanding Control Display for the iDrive operating system. A fabric roof convertible version is also due in 2011.

BMW hasn’t provided official figures, but Munich insiders confirm that the new 6-series is virtually the same length though it’s a good deal wider and slightly lower than today’s car.

The cabin has an asymmetrical dashboard that hints at early BMWs by angling the centre console slightly towards the driver. “It’s a coupé, a driver’s car,” said van Hooydonk. BMW claims the iDrive multimedia screen is 10.2 inches across. Also, after Audi, Mercedes and Aston Martin, BMW’s teamed up with Bang & Olufsen for the hi-fi while other 5-series toys such as head-up displays are now available on the Six.
Possible engines and transmisions:

Proton Inspira 2.0 Executive

Proton has introduced an Executive version of its 2.0 litre CVT Inspira – the variant replaces the 1.8 CVT Executive in the model lineup, slotting in between the 2.0 CVT Premium and 1.8 MT Executive. Most of the kit found on the 2.0 Premium is on the 2.0 Executive – from the steering wheel audio switches and paddle shifters to the auto light and rain sensors, it’s all here. What’s different, based on the feature specifications list, is that the Executive’s seats and door trim finishing is in fabric (as opposed to the Premium’s leather fitment), the wipers don’t feature automatic speed adjustment and the bodykit has been omitted. Fresh to the car is a new 16-inch wheel design. As for exterior colours, there’s no Plum Red for this one, with the Premium’s shade being replaced by Elegant Brown; otherwise, Tranquility Black, Genetic Silver and Solid White are shared by both variants.
