2011 BMW 6-series Cabrio revealed



Intended as a surprise unveiling at the Los Angeles Auto Show, BMW has revealed the 2011 6-Series convertible.  However, for reasons unknown the drop-top never made it to the show. It's unfortunate given the importance of the sunny Californian market.
Drawing inspiration from the Concept 6-Series Coupe, the convertible has a long bonnet, a forward-slanted grille, xenon headlights, distinctive LED fog lights and 18-inch alloy wheels (19-inchers on the 650i). To reduce weight, BMW has retained the 6-Series' double buttress soft top which can be lowered in 19 seconds and raised in 24 seconds at speeds up to 25 mph (40 km/h).

2012 BMW 3-Series spied again.



Here are the latest set of spy shots of the F30 2012 BMW 3-Series with additional interior shot too.
Now, this prototype is a little different from the last one we saw, which was fitted with an old, hodge-podge looking interior (Also the rear diffuser looks different). These two shots of the dashboard published here may just feature parts of the new interior of the next 3-Series.

2012 BMW 6-Series Cabrio caught topless


While there isn't much to report, the car looks virtually identical to the Concept 6-Series Coupe which recently debuted at the Paris Motor Show. The only notable differences, aside from the convertible roof, are production-style mirrors and a traditional daul exhaust system.
Under the hood, engine options will likely carryover from the 5-Series. This means we can expect a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline 6 cylinder with 225kW (302 hp/ 306 PS) and a twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 with 300 kW (402 hp / 408 PS). For the M6, power will be provided by an optimized twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 with 408 kW (555 hp / 563 PS) to 425 kW (570 hp / 578 PS).
The 6-Series coupe will be unveiled early next year, with the convertible following a few months later.
