The BMW M6 Convertible and BMW X1 Sport Activity Vehicle will make their World Debuts at the 2012 New York International Auto Show at the Jacob K.

The BMW M6 Convertible and BMW X1 and will be joined by the BMW M6 Coupe, BMW X6 M (North American debuts) and the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe (U.S. auto show debut) as the featured BMW vehicles in New York. The BMW i3 and i8 Concepts will also be featured providing a glimpse into the future of mobility.


BMW X1

The hotly anticipated BMW X1 Sport Activity Vehicle comes to the U.S. for the first time. Its rising horizontal lines give it a sporty, elegant profile, while the classic BMW kidney grille, distinctive headlights and L-shaped taillights are unmistakably BMW. The BMW X1 is also the latest BMW vehicle to offer the TwinPower Turbo 4-cylinder engine which delivers BMW performance with reduced fuel consumption. The updated BMW X1 will be available in U.S. showrooms in summer 2012.

*X1 pictured below is not the LCI/facelift version which will be revealed at the 2012 NYIAS*

BMW M6 Convertible and Coupe (F13 / F12)

The iconic BMW M6 Convertible and Coupe return from a two year hiatus more powerful, more athletic, more focused, more luxurious and more efficient than ever before. Since the “M6” badge was first placed on a BMW back in 1987, this model has exemplified the luxury and daily usability of a top range BMW coupe combined with true super-car performance. Now, in its 3rd generation, the all-new BMW M6 sports a new 560hp M TwinPower Turbo V-8 mated to a 7-speed M-DCT transmission capable of propelling either model from 0 to 60mph in under 4.3 seconds.

* BIMMERPOST Note: US pricing for the 2013 M6 coupe and 2012 M6 convertible will be announced upon the NYIAS.

BMW X6 M LCI

The recently updated BMW X6 M Sports Activity Coupe combines the athletic and elegant lines of a coupe with the character of a BMW X model and an outstanding driving experience. The new X6 M receives several design updates and innovative features intended to emphasize its width and track and road-holding prowess.

BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe

Introducing the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe – a new 4-door, 4+1 seat addition to the 6 Series line that successfully combines the stunning proportions, design and driving dynamics of the 6 Series Coupe with interior room and amenities for up to five passengers. Harmonious proportions, precise lines and sleekly contoured surfaces give the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe the unique ability to satisfy the driver who wants a luxurious and sporty coupe yet needs a car capable of carrying four adults in comfort and luxury. The BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe will be offered as three distinct models in the USA. The TwinPower Turbo 6-cylinder powered BMW 640i Gran Coupe is the initial model and arrives early this summer. Later this summer, the TwinPower Turbo V-8 powered 650i Gran Coupe and the all-wheel drive 650i xDrive Gran Coupe will join the range.

How much is the M6 going to be? What a beauty!

[bbg2d]

Beautiful! Can't wait to see/drive the X1!

[bimmerjph]

Its about time the X1 got here. Since the X3 28i is about 3k more than the 328i I am thinking the X1 28i will start at about 34ish. Any word on other models we might get?

I will be there April 6. Anyone know if manufacturers have 'owners circle' lounges at NYIAS like they do at Detroit? This was very useful to rest feet and charge phone and camera.

[BMW1986]

We only have the one model in Canada. You guys will likely get just the 28i as well, as it is currently the most powerful engine in the X1. Fully loaded X1s in Canada can cost around the 50k mark though. However, I would expect pricing to start around the same area as the 128i. X1 starts at 38,500 and 128i starts at 36,000. 128i for you guys starts at 31,200. I would say that starting at 34 seems likely based on those figures.

No sign of diesel engine. Where are all BMW's diesel line-up?

[bbg2d]

Wondering if we will see the "M performance" version that's been rumored.

Yep, and press days are the 4th and the 5th.

Jason (or anyone else), do you know when BMW's press conference is? I am very curious to hear if they mention anything about an X1 25d (or X3 30d/35d for that matter).

There are rumors of both an X1 and X3 diesel joining the lineup in the US this year or next year.

Not an X6///M but might be an X6 with M package.
