These are the first videos of the new BMW 6 Series Coupé Concept which will be revealed live at the 2010 Paris Motor Show. While described as a concept model, the style of this 6 Series is probably very close to what we will see next year when the new model is released. So far we like what we see with a lovely long, sloping bonnet and rear that brings back older coupé models of times gone by.

This GT concept demonstrates current BMW design with some inspiration from past CS models of the 1970’s. In turn it is based on the Gran Coupé concept and as the evolution continues, we’ll be interested to see what changes are made for the production model. Check back later this week for live pics from the Paris show and see after the jump for a video of the 6 Series Concept interior.

The BMW 6 Series Coupé Concept will go on display at the 2010 Paris Motor Show and should prove to be the next BMW GT model. It takes inspiration from the BMW Gran Coupé concept which was shown at Beijing and will include most of what we’ve seen on the new BMW 5 Series. The main stylistic aspect of the 6 Series Coupé Concept is the usual sloping coupé-sedan rear (given the 2+2 cabin space) we’re seeing all over the place at the moment.

Having so far taken on the code name of F11, the 6 Series Concept should become a production model by spring 2011 and further takes the step from the Chris Bangle era, with the stamp of head designer Adrian van Hooydonk. The smooth, elegant exterior design isn’t much different from what we were expecting, while the interior is closer to its ‘concept’ name with an organic look, sloping asymmetrical central console space and plenty of additional luxury in leather and aluminium features. If this is the future of BMW interiors, we like what we see and will be having a close look at the Paris show.
