DriveSpark's Thoughts On The Newly Launched BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo

The newly launched BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo replaces the 5 Series GT in BMW's worldwide lineup. However, like the 5 Series GT, the new 6 Series looks rather odd with its coupe-sedan mashup design. However, expect more owners to flock to the new 6 Series GT thanks to its more practical nature and that Bavarian badge up front.
