As per an official statement by a BMW spokesperson, the BMW 6 Series GT is now internally replaced by the BMW 8 Series range — which includes 2-door coupe and 4-door gran coupe body styles. In the Indian scheme of things, BMW currently lists the 6 Series GT on their website but considering its production has ended, it is likely to get delisted soon.
