BMW Whets Our Appetite with New M6 Gran Coupe Videos

If you're willing to trade some passenger space for a more stylish body and at the same time, don't care about the €25,000 (about US$32,900, in Germany) premium over BMW's other super-fast sports saloon, the M5, then by all means, you should check out the new M6 Gran Coupe.

All-New BMW M6 Gran Coupe Officially Introduced, Goes on Sale Next Year [30 Photos]

Joining the existing Coupe and Convertible body styles of the M6 series is a third variant based on the so-called Gran Coupe, which is BMW talk for a sportier looking sedan model.

A few hours after we shared the first pictures of the M6 Gran Coupe, BMW came out with more photos and full details on its latest offering that will arrive in European dealerships in May, 2013, with a starting price of €128,000 (about US$167,000) in Germany, which places it between the Coupe (€124,000) and the Convertible (€131,400 ) M6s in terms of pricing.

North American sales will begin in the summer of the same year, with pricing to be announced, though, if BMW's German pricing strategy is anything to go by, it should cost around US$110,000.

As the sedan version of the M6 Coupe and Convertible series, the Gran Coupe features the same mechanical and aesthetic upgrades as the two other models with the added weight and practicality that comes with the two extra doors and 113mm (4.45 inches) longer wheelbase.

The high-performance version of the BMW 6-Series Gran Coupe sports saloon is a secret no more - well, at least in what concerns its exterior appearance, as official photos of the M6 variant appeared on the web today.

These include a carbonfibre reinforced plastic roof, different bumpers, side skirts, a rear diffuser flanked by twin exhaust pipes on either side, 20-inch wheels, plus chrome trims on the double kidney grille and fender air vents.

New BMW M6 Coupe Boosted to 631-Horses by G-Power

There's no such thing as too much power when it comes to BMW tuning specialist and maker of some of the fastest Bimmers in the world, G-Power.

For its latest effort, the German brand is raising the pulse on the new BMW M6 Coupe (F13) with a performance package that starts with the 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 lifting output from 553hp (560PS) and 680Nm (501 lb-ft) to 631hp (640PS) and 770Nm (568 lb-ft) – the same as G-Power's M5 tune.

Gaming vs. Reality: BMW M6 Driven in Forza's Virtual World by Race Driver and in Real Life by a Gamer

Thanks to the evolution of racing games such as Sony's Gran Turismo and Microsoft's Forza series, just to mention a few, the line between the virtual and the physical worlds is becoming increasingly blurred.

Spy Shots: New BMW M6 Gran Coupe Exposed During Nürburgring Event

BMW sure chose a strange way to unveil the production version of its upcoming M6 Gran Coupe. The German carmaker brought the sports sedan along to an unrelated happening at the Nürburgring, and unsurprisingly, a few journalists attending the event did not miss out on the opportunity to snap a few pictures of the camouflage-free model.

The Bavarian brand did not release any information regarding the M version of the Gran Coupe, which itself, despite the confusing name, is a four-door sedan iteration of the 6-Series Coupe.

Nevertheless, we already know that the M6 Gran Coupe shares its powertrain with the two-door M6 models (coupe and convertible), meaning there's a 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 with 553hp (560PS) delivered from 6,000 to 7,000 rpm and a peak torque of 680Nm (501 lb-ft) from 1,750 to 5,750 rpm, lurking under the hood.
