2012 BMW Gran Coupe Preview


Alas, BMW has not been tempting us with a model that will not ever see the light of day. Thankfully, they have come to their collective senses and decided to give us a BMW with a little personality. Okay, well, hopefully.

BMW has pushed the Gran Coupe concept through to production and not a moment too soon. With the Audi A7 lurking at the segment and the Mercedes CLS in its second version, BMW needed a star. Turns out, that star will be the Gran Coupe and will debut in 2012.

According to BMW Blog, the BMW Gran Coupe will be sold under the 6-Series badge and will share some of the features from that model line. However, the Gran Coupe will also keep some of the features that made the concept so attractive at the Beijing Auto Show earlier this year including the frameless windows and B-pillar. The model will be available in an even mixture of gasoline and diesel engines with an ActiveHybrid also in the works.
