BMW first unveiled the 6 Series Concept Gran Coupé last year and it hasn't taken long for the production car to take shape, as you can see from this spy shot. The low-slung vehicle marks the first time that BMW has ventured into the world of four doors with its 6 Series. This image shows that the Gran Coupé has the same front and rear bumpers as the existing 6 series models F12 and F13, and this car is substantially longer than the normal coupé and convertible. The Concept Gran Coupé unveiled last year was more than five metres long, while the standard 6 Series is 4.9 metres. This spy shot suggests a similar increase in size. BMW is apparently so fond of the Gran Coupé idea that it's already looking into another version, based on the next 3 Series. This car might be called the 4 Series Gran Coupé and an M4 Gran Coupé is also being considered. Expect this good looking 6 Series to hit showrooms sometime in 2012.

Tailors and retailers miss out on back-to-school rush
Tailors and retailers across the city said it was an ominous start to what is usually a busy season for sales.
With many parents opting to continue home learning for their children, the usual rush to buy school uniforms was muted this year.
“So far we have taken about 70 to 80 orders for items like shirts and trousers,” said Vikram Attrai, manager at Stallion Bespoke Tailors in Dubai.
“Last year in the same period we had about 200 orders and lots of demand.
“We custom fit uniform pieces and use materials such as cotton, wool and cashmere.
“Depending on size, a white shirt with logo is priced at about Dh100 to Dh150 and shorts, trousers, skirts and dresses cost between Dh150 to Dh250 a piece.”
A spokesman for Threads, a uniform shop based in Times Square Centre Dubai, said customer footfall had slowed down dramatically over the past few months.
“Now parents have the option to keep children doing online learning they don’t need uniforms so it has quietened down.”
