Meanwhile, the new 6-series cabriolet spotted while still taking a few test miles.

Here the model is still equipped with the typical BMW hypnotyserende camouflage tape, but you can through the hazy spyshots of the MI: Set 4 already well deduce what the final production version will look like.

The biggest difference is in the convertible top and other outlets. The shape of the kapafdekking is also deduce that the convertible roof again which will meekrijgen characteristic shape as in solving the current 6-series convertible.
