While an eight-cylinder engine is a safe bet for the North American market, a future BMW 6 Series might include a stoutly-powered six-cylinder option for the United States (an engine previously reserved only for the European markets

As the new BMW 6 Series is released, fans of the Bavarian car company will be eagerly awaiting the next-generation M6 model.
