Well, halfway out in the street, as BMW has it all wrapped up for up for a psytrance after-party. We will tip our hats to <a href=\"http:\/\/autoblog.com\/make\/bmw\">BMW<\/a> for this black and white disguise, however, as there&#8217;s a slight resemblance to the Maserati 4200 GT in front, while they taped off the C-pillar ape the Z32 300ZX. That said, they&#8217;re not fooling anyone. <\/p>\n<p>First of all, the stuff they didn&#8217;t\/can&#8217;t cover with camo-wheels, brakes and mirrors-all scream BMW. Especially the &#8220;Efficient Dynamics&#8221; brake kit that will charge the battery while you&#8217;re slowing down. Also, the trunk is still fairly Bangled, though less so than the current car.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" hspace=\"4\" border=\"1\" vspace=\"4\" align=\"right\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/04\/snout250.jpg\" \/> The engines will be coming out of the 7 Series, though probably not the vaunted <a href=\"http:\/\/autoblog.com\/tag\/760Li\">760Li&#8217;s<\/a> twin-turbo V12. Expect the double-scroll single turbo 3.0-liter straight six and the twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8, as well as few diesel mill we won&#8217;t be seeing in the States. As far as the next <a href=\"http:\/\/autoblog.com\/model\/m6\">M6<\/a> goes, that&#8217;s up in the air. Early reports indicate that BMW will be selling some manner of R8-fighter based on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/01\/29\/report-2013-bmw-vision-efficientdynamics-supercar-moving-toward\/\">Efficient Dynamics Concept<\/a>, though it will probably be stuffed with a 600+ horsepower version of the BMW 262 cubic inch twin-turbo V8. <\/p>\n<p>Before you get salty tears in your coffee, our spies also inform us that a four door version of the new 6 Series is expected. Something along the lines of a 650i Gran Turismo, including a hatch\/trunk lid similar to the one found in the 550i GT. A model needed (apparently) to combat the upcoming Audi A7 four-door coupe.
