Premiering alongside the updated 2021 BMW 5-Series is this; the 2021 BMW 6-Series Gran Turismo. It benefits from similar design changes to the 5-Series and while it isn’t sold in the U.S. and has now been killed off in the UK. Set to be manufactured at BMW’s plant in Dingolfing alongside the 7-Series and 8-Series, the new 6-Series Gran Turismo retains the same dimensions as the current model, meaning it is 5,091 mm (200.4 inches) long, 1,902 mm (74.8 inches) wide, and 1,538 mm (60.5 inches) tall.

Besides the new dimensions, the car has been equipped with a larger grille that is flanked by standard LED headlights. Other highlights include frameless windows, front fender vents, and wraparound taillights with three-dimensional styling elements. The interior largely carries over from the 5-Series but the boot holds 610 liters (21.5 cubic feet) of luggage.

While its  sedan counterpart  has undergone a complete replacement, the  BMW 6-Series  will have to hold on just a bit longer before its successor arrives. But in the meantime, BMW has announced some minor revisions for its luxury coupe. There's a new M Sport Package available with carbon-fiber trim that was previously available only on the M6, new color options – namely a metallic Sonic Speed Blue – and new two-tone 20-inch wheels on offer as well. That about sums it up. There are further customization options available through the BMW Individual program, but otherwise you're looking at essentially the same vehicle that was introduced in 2011.  In the United States, BMW offers offers the 6-Series in coupe, convertible, and four-door  Gran Coupe  bodystyles in six-cylinder 640i or eight-cylinder 650i specs, with rear- or all-wheel drive.
