The 2011 BMW 6 Series is the next car that is up for redesign which may launch in late 2010 as a 2011 model. The sheetmetal of the new 6 Series will, much like that of the redesigned 2009 7 series, be inspired by the 2007’s Concept CS. Although European buyers will be offered diesel versions, U.S. cars will be powered by the twin-turbo V-8 currently in the 7 Series and X6. The engine will drive the rear wheels through the new ZF eight speed automatic transmission.
The new 6-series is may make its debut at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show in September, prior to its 2010 launch. A new M6 is expected to follow in early 2011, though its V-10 could make way for a more aggressively tuned version of the twin-turbo V-8.
