2008 BMW X6 Coupe Spy Shot
   Here are first photos confirming BMW's official statement made at the last Geneva Motor Show: the Bavarian car maker is about to extend the X5 model range with an additional 4x4 "coupe," based on the same platform. In this case, the word "coupe" does not mean a two-door, but, as on the Mercedes CLS500 marketing jargon, refers to a sporting model with coupe-like roofline, even if it has four doors. Rumors are that the new model will be named the X6. The first development mule is now doing laps at Germany 's famous Nürburgring. These early development mules have a clever modular frame that allows all weight- (and, therefore, handling-) critical items to be positioned differently and in small steps, in order to find their optimum position for superior road-holding, handling, steering and comfort. Similarly, the mules offer easy access to the suspension geometry, springs, dampers and steering, which all can be varied and fine-tuned. The test mule sports a non-production body made as simply as possible to cover the mechanical parts. It offers no indication of the final vehicle's styling or design. The newcomer is reported to be a sporty looking crossover four-door, four-seater. It gets front-mounted engines ranging from a V-8 with either 340 hp or 450 hp, or a V-10 with 612 hp. BMW hopes to be alone in this "coupe" market. By offering a high seating position and four-wheel drive, they would be without a direct competitor, at least initially. That's only until Porsche brings on the Panamera, a four-door coupe due in 2009. Just like the current and the next X5, the new X6 will be built in the United States in South Carolina and is scheduled for release in 2008. Source

If it looks like a car, why is it labeled an X?
How can a 'coupe' be a 4dr?

Sunil ....I'm just going to have to wait and see in person. I liked the X6 from the previous spy shot, this one isn't doing it for me. X5, X6, 650, 550??? I guess it will all depend on whether I like the E70... Where's the fookin press release already? There go those pretty wheels again ..those are the same ones that were posted on the M6, aren't they? Nice wheels but I just don't see them on these cars.
