In a recent interview with Motor Trend, BMW spokesman Dave Buchko confirmed that the M6 Gran Coupe will make its U.S. Debut sometime in 2013. The M6 Gran Coupe will go toe-to-toe with Mercedes-Benz' CLS63 AMG.
It remains unknown, however, if the M6 Gran Coupe will be available with a manual transmission. BMW offers the M5 with a manual transmission and will soon add a row-it-yourself option to the M6, but the German automaker has yet to comment on the availability of a third pedal in the M6 Gran Coupe. The U.S. is the only market to get manual versions of the M5 and M6 and BMW has already confirmed that a manual gearbox won't make it to the next-generation of either car.
