Funny you mention that because I headed to the BMW dealer a few months ago to trade in my 6er for something new but walked out because no other coupe they had looked even remotely as good or upscale as the current 6 series (except the 3 cylinder i8... sigh) and the LCI 6er wasn't different enough to warrant an upgrade.
So I ended up keeping my Bimmer and got myself a 664lbft AMG torque monster to keep it company. And I'm really happy I chose the AMG over the tame i8 because the sound alone makes it well worth the extra $30k, and it's got a folding hardtop to boot.
If only BMW had a Z8 ///M, i8 ///M or an ///M8... But they're too happy catering to the cheaper market segments so they're bound to lose sales to Merc, Porsche, Audi, Aston and even McLaren in the $150-200k segment as they offer absolutely nothing whatsoever above the 760i. And it's a shame because BMW has so much potential..
