Re: New picture of B&O CENTRE speaker in BMW's new 6-series coupe!

There is a car called the Scion xB here, it only has one reverse light on the extreme left corner. Completely out of sight when on coming down the aisle from the opposite side!

I like the car, but BMW can do better and I'm thinking of the E9 and E31 in particular. Don't worry about the tiny reverse lights, they emit enough light for you to see when it's backing up. Larger reverse light would ruin the look of the rear light units altogether I think.

Beek, I really want to agree but I cannot tell you how many times I have been driving through a car park and a 5 series (with similar size reverse lights) almost backed into me! They are nearly unnoticeable.

Strange, I do not have any trouble with those either.

Have a look at this video. You'll find the answer after 42 seconds.

I wonder if the speaker is pop-up, A8-style, or permanently open like that.

Well that is certainly a grand centerpiece!

The rest of the car, I'm really not sure about. I think I'd like that car to stick out little bit more for its segment/price. It looks like an inflated 3 series coupe - not going to turn many more heads.

I wish they would do away with those ridiculously tiny reverse lights! I need to see who is backing up in the car park! More than 2 LEDs please!

Hi all! BMW just released new shots of their 6 Series Coupe (NOT the convertible), and one of them shows something quite interesting, a B&O centre mounted speaker for the stereo system, below:

If you'd like to see pics and info of the car itself, which is much nicer than the outgoing model, take a click on the link below:

I don't care for the blown flashbulb headlights, but I think the rest of the design is amazing.

There's a few pics of the old-news BMW 6 Series concept convertible, which also features a B&O stereo, on my Flickr page in the CIAS 2011 set:
