BMW's new 6-series coupe has been spied completely undisguised in testing, six months ahead of its appearance in global markets.

Like its cabriolet sibling, the new 6-series coupe carries fresh new styling first revealed on the four-door BMW GranCoupé back in April, plus increased exterior dimensions and a roomier four-seat interior.

Inside, there’s a more driver-orientated dashboard and centre console than in the old model, and greater leg, head and shoulder room.

The new 6-series coupe will be launched with the choice of two direct-injection petrol engines in combination with a standard eight-speed automatic gearbox.

The base model, the 640i, gets a turbocharged 3.0-litre straight six with 320bhp and 45kgm of torque. It is claimed to hit 100 kph in 5.7sec and a maximum of 250 kph, while returning 14.88 km/litre

Topping the initial line-up will be the 650i. It runs a turbocharged 4.4-litre V8 with 407bhp and 61.2 kgm, enough for 0-100kph in 5.0sec, but delivers 11.05 km/litre. A 320bhp turbodiesel engine will also be launched in the coupe, while the M6 will be powered by a 550bhp twin-turbo V8.
