New BMW 6 series- fugly!

I agree. It's hideous.

The Z8 is the last modern BMW design I've really liked.

 

I don't mind the 6, but I must agree with your overall assessment of the brand. They have become over-gadgeted, over weight, over priced, under reliable. The competition (Infiniti) is rapidly closing the gap simply because they have copied BMW's old formula, which they for some reason have abandoned.

Hopefully the new generation of ///M cars will get them back on track, but even still the theme remains the same-- bigger, heavier, uglier. Long gone are the days of the E30 M3.

 

I actually like it a lot ( the dash is ugly though ) . Not beautiful , but something that makes me want to look and look ..Very interesting design.

And the M6 in black..is like a shark !

 

I dont mine the 6 series convertible, dont know the exact name. My favourite BMW of all time is the 8 series. One of my dads renter guys has an 8 series. Tried to sell it a few times, no intrest really. Very nice car though.

 

i actual like it , and would take the conv over the mercedes sl...i have a friend witha coupe and one with a conv...i have drive both, and they are great gt crusiers...the friend with the coupe is a life long bmw freak who has owned the old 6 series, the v12 8 series, the last 2 generation m 3s, and he loves his new 6 coupe..........

 

I like the new BMW look.
But I loved the old look.

 

My friend just got the 645 black with 22 inch black wheels and chrome lip. Looks great

No, a Maranello is like a shark.
A 6'er is like a blowfish dressed like a shark
How are ya AM?

 

I saw one similiar to what you described and it looked fantastic. This also applies to the E65 7er. Both of those basically only look good in that form imo.

 

I am so confused by the reactions to new BMW's. I think the last generation 5 series was awesome looking. I liked the E46 3-series (bought one). I saw a new 3 series today and I thought it looked really nice. I thought the brand new 5 series was OK but its growing on me. I've seen a few 7-series that I think look hot. The 745 looks great with the big wheels and slight tinted windows. I think its worlds better than the previous 7 series. As for the 6 series, the convertible doesnt do much for me but the coupe looks great... white with tinted windows and 19" wheels is hot!

I liked BMWs before - the 8 series was probably the nicest looking. I also really like the current M3.

On another note, if you go to MBUSA's website, every model looks identical just slightly larger. Go to the model selector and you will see how similar they all are.

 

I saw something very similar up here recently. Car looked half-decent for the new BMWs. Only in that color and with black wheels would I own one, and just barely. This combo is also the best looking E65 though you couldn't give me one of those.

 

It doesn't look bad in that champagne/silver-ish color on the 'vert. I've seen more interesting interiors in a Lexus though.

 

The end is near, isn't that the third sign of the apocalypse?

 

Give me a Z8 and you can drive all the recent BMW's to the junk yard looks wise. The new 6 looks like a pimped Pontiac, yuck! Now they've gone and made the new 3 look like a Hyundai.

 

Yes, the Maranello is the great white shark of the automotive world , for the m6 i was thinking of the whale shark

Im pretty good but mourning the end of the driving season here in paris !
Whats up with you ? How are the 2 sharks ??

 

They're fine. 8-900 mi on SA. Still like the Maranello better than the SA though. Need the HGTC brakes on it though. You need to go south for winter. Cap D'antibe should suit. Mebbe a Portofino office?

No, me buying an LS430 is. Wait, ummmmm.

 

It looks like a shark stuffed to the gills. It is such a disgrace to the old 6series.

 

If I "had" to have one I'd have the convertible....but to tell you the truth....I really dislike both. The coupe's trunk line looks like a DODGE STRATUS from the rear quarters.......

Gawd I love bashing these new BMW's....I feel good inside already....sort of a warm fuzzy feeling like leaking tranny fluid....can we have a weekly thread on this subject ?

 

More like a catfish to me

 

Portofino office ..thats a nice idea ! But only when i ll get a yellow F50 as a company car !
Can u retrofit the HGTC kit on the 550 ?
