I just saw a new 2006 6. It was a electric blue color, kind of like the Blue M3's. My first impressionm was that it had more of a sophisticated look. Not as sporty as the current version. The tail lights look good with the black instead of the chrome. The centercaps on the wheels were a glossy black. It was kind of ugly, but the car was moving so It was hard to tell. The overall look of the car was nice and clean, and from the pictures I have seen, the interior got some much needed improvement. This car had distributor plates so this was probably a pre-production model.
