2012 BMW 650i Convertible configurator comes online

The new 2012 BMW 650i Convertible is for even bigger and heavier than most competitors, but there are a number of notable changes to the updated car. Designer filed off some of the bold curves for a little more subtlety. Power from the 650i twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 is now sitting on 400 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque - up 40 hp and whopping 90 pounds-feet of the last generation 6 series - and the six-speed transmission was replaced with a slick eight-speed unit. All good things, and judging by the fact that BMW has launched the online configurator 650i Convertible, it seems, this is great droptop ready for prime time.

The price starts at $ 92,375 even $ 875 is for the target, and the dreaded $ 1,000 gas guzzler tax is applied. The price is only from there, with packages such as driver assistance systems ($ 3900) and premium sound ($ 1,800) to fix things over the $ 100,000 mark. Check all the possibilities and you are at a MSRP of $ 110,375, or enough money in the search for a loaded 550i and a nice optioned Mazda Miata. Click here to head over to the 650i configurator on the price to some high-Zoot open-air motor sport for themselves.

Spy Shots: 2012 BMW 6 Series Coupe caught without camouflage

It is not usual for a car manufacturer that is a convertible coupe counterpart before his debut, but that's exactly what BMW has done with its next-generation 6-series. The droptop debut at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this month, and while the hardtop are Sixer in the coming months will be rolled, our spies have captured only the swoopy new coupe in the public completely undisguised.
A fixed roof version of the new, attractive convertible that inspiration from the 6 Series Coupe Concept that debuted at the 2010 Paris Motor Show - we are hardly surprised by the design of the new 6 Series coupe. Obviously, some the concept of the subtleties (the big wheels, the large lower air intakes) for the production car to soften, and what we are left with is a pretty lean development of the large coupe design.
We expect to drive trains are unchanged from the convertible bond, ie, a twin-turbo V8 packing 400 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque is in store for the 650i Coupe will be assembled to provide a choice of six-speed manual transmission or eight-speed automatic transmission . We were not the official word on when the Big Six officially debut, but we would be shocked if the new coupe would turn up at the Geneva Show in March.
