"According to the latest rumors around BMW, the company is currently considering a flagship 9-Series Coupe.
If green-lighted, the model will reportedly be based on the next-gen Rolls-Royce Phantom with CFRP for the passenger cell. The design conception has not been approved yet but it is believed the car will be influenced by the Vision Future Luxury Concept.
The engine range will likely consists of familiar 3.0-liter petrol and diesel engines, a more powerful 4.4-liter V8 turbocharged unit and a hybrid powerplant in the 940e version.
Targeted mainly to customers in USA, China and the UK, the model is believed to be a direct competitor for the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe."

I certainly hope so, if influenced by the VFL. Also, hopefully spawn a 4-door coupe variant.
I remember Scott said a while back that the next gen 6 series will be influenced by the VFL aswell, but maybe to a lesser degree? I wonder when we will see the first mules for the next 6, its about time for them to hit the road isnt?
I mean, both the 5 and 6 had very close LCI unveilings, and for some time we have been seeing 5 series test mules, but no sign of the 6.
