Nevertheless, it could be worse, as proved by Hamann's other Geneva Motor Show debut, a tinted pink (or is that purple?) 2013 Range Rover that's lurking behind the sports coupe in the video from Shmee150.

In every family, though, there’s a black sheep: in BMW's M-family, it’s the M6. This is kind of weird, as it’s supposed to be pegged at the top of the food chain. It just couldn't cut it, though, against rivals such as Porsche's 911 Turbo.
The all-new, second-generation of the 6-Series wasn’t very well received by the motoring press, either. Can the new, third generation M6 coupe change that perception?

A few hours after we shared the first pictures of the M6 Gran Coupe, BMW came out with more photos and full details on its latest offering that will arrive in European dealerships in May, 2013, with a starting price of €128,000 (about US$167,000) in Germany, which places it between the Coupe (€124,000) and the Convertible (€131,400 ) M6s in terms of pricing.
North American sales will begin in the summer of the same year, with pricing to be announced, though, if BMW's German pricing strategy is anything to go by, it should cost around US$110,000.
As the sedan version of the M6 Coupe and Convertible series, the Gran Coupe features the same mechanical and aesthetic upgrades as the two other models with the added weight and practicality that comes with the two extra doors and 113mm (4.45 inches) longer wheelbase.
BMW's M6 Gran Coupé features the same bespoke styling cues and aerodynamic parts as its two-door brethren. These include a carbonfibre reinforced plastic roof, different bumpers, side skirts, a rear diffuser flanked by twin exhaust pipes on either side, 20-inch wheels, plus chrome trims on the double kidney grille and fender air vents.

For its latest effort, the German brand is raising the pulse on the new BMW M6 Coupe (F13) with a performance package that starts with the 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 lifting output from 553hp (560PS) and 680Nm (501 lb-ft) to 631hp (640PS) and 770Nm (568 lb-ft) – the same as G-Power's M5 tune.

The Bavarian brand did not release any information regarding the M version of the Gran Coupe, which itself, despite the confusing name, is a four-door sedan iteration of the 6-Series Coupe.
Nevertheless, we already know that the M6 Gran Coupe shares its powertrain with the two-door M6 models (coupe and convertible), meaning there's a 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 with 553hp (560PS) delivered from 6,000 to 7,000 rpm and a peak torque of 680Nm (501 lb-ft) from 1,750 to 5,750 rpm, lurking under the hood.
From this angle, we can see the new M6 Gran Coupe's large alloy wheels with brake discs to match along with other traditional "M" cues such as the mirrors, sculpted side skirts and fender vents.
If we're not mistaken, there's also another M6 Gran Coupe finished in black parked behind the silver car on the hoist.

The owner of the matte-black M6, which is said to have some 700-horses lurking under its hood, lost control of the car and smashed into a park taxi van, narrowly avoiding its driver, but not the scooter rider that was located in front of the cab – fortunately, he was not seriously injured.
