Unfortunately for BMW, we’ve known for some time what direction they’re taking with regards to styling when it comes to their upcoming facelifted 5-Series model.
It is now evident that the 2020 6-Series GT is getting similar updates, as this prototype was recently spotted by our spy photographers wearing very little camouflage tape. So what’s new? It all starts with the sharper front end.
Like the G30 5-Series LCI, the updated 6-Series GT is also getting new headlights, slightly thinner and with a more modern-looking Daytime Running Light signature.

The grille is bigger than before, but not by much. So if you already liked the way the 6 GT looked, rest assured that BMW didn’t do anything to mess up its styling. Of course, that’s a pretty big “if” since most people seem to agree that this isn’t a handsome vehicle.
Then there’s the rear end, where we can still see the old taillights, much like on previous prototypes. We’re actually curious what the new graphics might look like for the rear lights, since they were already pretty sharp to begin with. Could it be another “upside down hockey stick” like on the updated G30 5er? We’ll find out on Wednesday.
Inside, the updated 6 GT will mirror the 5-Series once again, and we expect to see a larger infotainment display, some new trim and perhaps updated digital dials for the gauge cluster. As for the engine range, there should be a few upgrades to speak of, such as mild-hybrid tech, adding a second battery and a 48V starter-generator.
Both the facelifted 6-Series GT and 5-Series will be unveiled next week, May 27 at an event in Korea. The former will not be available in the United States.
