BMW`s increasing success on exotic markets like Japan or China, lies in its ability to offer market-based special programs that would make its models more appealing and extremely appreciated.

It also what happened to the 2018 BMW 6-Series GT, now available in Japan with the GT M Sport Debut Edition package.

We are looking here at a limited-run of just 40 examples, each one costing a staggering $113,341 at today`s exchange rates, or the equivalent of 12,890,000 Yen.

For that money, Japanese customers get to enjoy a high-end model with M goodies at the exterior and luxury features inside the cabin.

From a visual standpoint, the 2018 BMW 6-Series GT M Sport Debut Edition is wrapped in Sophisto Gray colour from BMW Individual, adding 20-inch M alloy wheels with blue-finished calipers, chrome accents and a few more.

Inside, the cabin welcomes you with the finest materials like cognac Dakota leather seats and piano black trim. The high-tech gizmos are also a must, and comprise 9.2-inch infotainment system, Bowers and Wilkins premium sound system, rear-seat entertainment system with colour screen, DVD drive, gesture control of four-zone climate control.

Based on the 640i GT, the 2018 BMW 6-Series GT M Sport Debut Edition is powered by a 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine, other than the one found on the present M3 or M4, meaning 335 horsepower and 450 Nm of torque. Performance figures weren’t provided, but it might come with the same as the US models – 5.3 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h, with the help of an eight-speed automatic and top speed of 250 km/h.

BMW has a pretty full agenda for the 2017, the carmaker preparing lots of new models for the future up-ahead. One particular test mule that caught our attention with its magnificent design is the upcoming 2018 6-Series GT, recently revealed in a spy video while performing some snowy tests.

Set to be revealed at the 2017 Frankfurt Auto Show, the all-new 2018 BMW 6-Series GT is a serious contender for the likes from Mercedes-Benz and Audi, coming out as the official replacement of the already gone 5-Series GT.

In the new form, the 2018 6-Series Grand Tourismo is going to be top notch, with a hotter design and some mighty powertrains under the hood. Not to forget the new list of gadgetries inside, with borrowings from the new 5-Series and 7-Series.

The test mule seen here brings about new styling bits, like a more sweeping roofline, more refined front and rear bumpers, hatchback-like trunk, while retaining the same split-opening hatch at the back. Also, the stretched rear end announces increase storage space.

With a longer wheelbase as well, the new 6-Series GT will be better looking and more elegant than the 5-Series GT, adding as well increase space inside for passengers and luggage. As for the engine lineup, BMW has announced an interesting suite of petrol burners as diesels.

We should be able to see the petrol variants with lots of power and torque, customers being able to choose between the 630i, 649i or the top of the line M650i xDrive. Also, the carmaker will later add the BMW G30 M550i xDrive with a 4.4-liter twin turbocharged V8 mill with plenty of juice. As expected, a oplug-in hybrid iPerformance will also be introduced as well.

On the diesels side, the carmaker will introduce the new BMW 620d, 630d as well as a top of the line M650d xDrive, the latter one packing the brand new B57 quad-turbo pot. Full details with performance figures and prices will be announced at a later date, meanwhile, enjoy the spy video with the upcoming 2018 BMW 6-Series GT!
