    Can't post a photo but have just seen one of these here in Italy. Didn't think the 4 door had been released yet. Considering I paid €2.0465 per litre for petrol the other day, I'm not surprised there are nearly as many diesels as in Ireland. From now on, I'll be sticking with Esso which gives a 12c per litre discount if you pay by machine! Surprised the margin's that fat.

    Not due in the UK till the summer. Might be on sale already in Europe, but I'd say only just! Either that or it's a non-disguised test mule, sometimes a few weeks before they're on sale they don't bother disguising them any more.

    Could be a production ready model for press review/launch. Somebody had a 640d coupe at one of the meets a few weeks back. Fabulous car and even though it wasn't a V8, it could move. To be honest, when you are spending that sort of coin on a car I doubt fuel costs come into it.

    Definitely on sale, fully registered and being used by a guest in the hotel where I'm saying. Can't really see any "coupe" styling in it. Idon't like CLS, A7, Passat CC but you can see that they've tried to eliminate the 4 door silhouette. Can't see any attempt on the 6er.

    Much nicer than the old 6, even if it is toned down a bit.

    Reminds me of a quatrroporte a little.

    Love it. Buddy in work was sent a pic of one in Ireland (his cousin is a BMW salesman). It's a beaut.

    Sure what's the point of the Audi A7 when you have the A6 and A8 or the Merc CLS when you have the E Class and S Class? It's just another niche model carved by premium car manufacturers as an alternative to the conventional models.

    6.5/10. The front is a bit bland on this 6 series (coupe & saloon) version methinks.
