In one way I like but in anothe way I don't..

Its kind of cool looking, but upon closer inspection, the car looks like a dodge intrepid and a new toyota celica mated. The back totally looks like the back on a celica and the side sort of looks like a dodge intrepid. All the porformance goodies sound sweet, but why not just bring it out in the form that most everyone loves, the e36 sort of styling.

I'll bet those taillights continue into the trunk area just like the new 3, 5, and 7. There's just some black-out over them

bangle works out of the san francisco design office. when my boss (also an avid BMW lover) went to NAIAS, he had some choice words for CB's new designs.

i was gonna organize a road trip with the San Diego DTM'ers to go up to the bay and have CB "mysteriously run over", but i never got around to it...

edit: there's probably not a vehicle big enough to smash that man's ego...

I knew it!! I knew they were going to put that POS rear end on the 6 series too! The 5 will no doubt have a Seven-esque rear end as well

I think they are trying too hard to make it retro. There is no replacement for a REAL 6-series...



Now that's what I'm talking about. Love that car. Nothing it that car's stying is being forced. The new one looks HORRIBLE, with the exception of that convertible, which is actually pretty nice.

Peace.

Like the 5-series, gross.

The cabrio looks alright, but definitely not good. I just can't take this anymore.

damn what the hell is BMW thinking. After seeing the 7 series interior and now this I'm sure glad I got my 330ci before all BMW's start to look like ass.

I don't think it is that bad honestly. It can be worked on the rear and front a bit, but the tech involved sure kicks Merc ass, no question about that. I'd get one in V10 form, like the current F1.
