Also, making the hunchback the only 6 series going forward is just a slap in the face.
The F06/12/13 is priced right in-line with the equivalent 7er model now, though in the beginning they typically were quite a bit more than a 7er. I'd be shocked to see the base MSRP jump more than 10% compared to the outgoing 6er. 8er does use Carbon Core CLAR along with additional composite and CFRP components.
