MY next car M6, with a 400hp 5.0 liter V-8.

[M PWR]

The 6 will cost little more than half the price of its competitors, the Ferrari 456 and Maserati 3200 GT. However, it will be just as desirable.

The new 6-series, based on the 5-series' chassis, will have agile handling coupled with a quiet ride. The new Bimmer might be driven by huge 18" wheels, though a change could shrink them to 17'' or even 16". However it comes to the market, the 6-series will be an affordable alternative to the deceased 8-series and will come with a variety of engines. In North America, BMW will offer the 644Ci, with a 282hp 4.4 liter V-8, a mid-priced 350hp 644 CSi, with a modified 4.4 liter V-8, and finally, an M6, with a 400hp 5.0 liter V-8. However, don't hold your breath, for the M6 will join the rest of the 6-series line up two or three years after the series' introduction. A less expensive 6-cylinder is also likely, providing around 225hp. No displacement figures are available.

The 6's technology won't stop under the hood. Most secondary controls, such as CD, car-phone, GPS, and A/C adjustments will be voice-activated. Safety will also be stressed, with variable-intensity tail lights, brightening and dimming as the brake pedal is pressed and depressed. The weight of the 6 will be reduced with the use of a much more rigid aluminum-and-steel shell structure. Look for a price around $55K.

I dont think those stats are from BMW. The 4.4 wont be around by the time the 6 comes out. The only car that will have this engine next year, 2003 model year, will be the 5 series. After that I dunno. Rumors say that the 5.0 will be a V-10 (with diffrent displacement). But you never know.

[elmercc]

Hahaha... Fair enough mate....

I love your current car btw though... ...do you have any more pics of it ??

[demetri]

i think my next car will be the one series, err, next as in after whatever car i buy first, it all depends on when i come out of school. but if they dont fuck up the styling, the return of the small BMW will be welcome, possibly a 240bhp, 9krpm 4 cyl in her as well . cant go wrong

I wonder if that car is going to replace the Z3/Z3 coupe?

the shape and style make it a competitor to the Merc C class 2-door
