Spy Shots: BMW 6-Series
The BMW 6-Series is due for a refresh, but after a look at the pictures shot by KGP Photography, we'd say the makeover will be quite mild.To begin with, the 6-Series will get an altered front air dam, with the center intake opening narrowing in width and gaining a set of repositioned fog lights. The black tape covering the sides of the headlamps indicates that some work may have been done in the lighting department, while out back, the tail lights are given three gill-like bumps on each side to add a little bling to the butt.
BMW took some chances with the original design of the 6-Series, but the refresh will likely go un-noticed to all but the most highly-trained eye. If you thought the current 6-Series was a unattractive, we think you'd be better off if you just turned away; nothing to see here.

I will give them credit that they did not design the front end & grill to look like a Mack truck like other brands have done in the name of pedestrian safety.

What a shame. They had a chance to fix an ugly design and all they are doing is a "mild freshening"? And don't get me started on the convertible! They first one I saw, I didn't know they were out yet, it looked so bad I thought somebody did it in their garage.

Actually those bumps on the taillights are there on the current model, too...

The BMW 6 Series is the "Solara (I'm talking about he 2nd gen, as the 1st gen was gorgeous)" of BMW. Its long a stretchy, ugly as sin and has the case of banglebutt. It needs a diet.

Very ugly car, looks like a sad whale. In fact I thing they did a great job with the current 7 series by making an ugly car into something better.
