Has BMW become too timid? The next 6-series will follow the cautious evolution of the 7-series and our exclusive spy photos of the new 6-series Convertible prove that it's business as usual at Munich.
It wasn't always going to be that way. BMW was at one point toying with seven different concepts: a four-seater coupé and cabriolet, a coupé-cabrio with retractable hard top, a slightly more compact two-seater Mercedes SL rival, a pillarless four-door coupé with rear suicide doors, a four-door four-seater Z6 coupé like the CS show car, and a three-door shooting brake.
However, CAR has seen the latest cycle plan – and the only survivors are project numbers F12 and F13. That means a cautious but classic 2+2 coupé and soft-top derivative. Clever marketing or missed opportunity? Time will tell.
