BMW to Show 6 Series Coupe in Shanghai
BMW will unveil its 6 Series coupe
at the Shanghai Motor Show next month, highlighting in part the
importance of the China market for the German automaker. Media
insiders got a look at a "concept" 6 Series coupe last September
at the Paris Motor Show, but this will be the final production
version. It will arrive in European and U.S. showrooms by this
Fall. The coupe will face stiff competition against the Jaguar XK
and Mercedes E-Class coupe, as well as the recently introduced
Cadillac CTS-V Coupe -- which has been extremely well received by
the motoring press. The 650i will come with an 8 cylinder gas
engine, while the 640i is powered by a 6-cylinder. Both are
fitted with an 8-speed sports automatic gearbox as standard
equipment. A diesel powered version will follow the launch. The
price in Europe for the 640i Coupe will be about $106,000 (74,700
euros).
