Yeah, but how much does the pig weigh?

Anyways, I'm not digging the 6 Series. I'm too lazy to look for other pics but from what I see here it just doesn't have that aggressive look to it. Bleh.

I'm not digging any of BMW's restyled cars!! My friend's M Coupe is a manly looking luxo-racer. The new 7 is HIDEOUS, the new 5 looks like a bloated IS300 with Pontiac inlet grills and the 6 is just plain boring/mundane looking. The Z4 is OK, I suppose.

Give me the last generation M Coupe in black with a Schnitzer body kit on black chromed Schnitzer Type II multi's anyday over these big boats. Pack in a Dinan SC kit and a thottle pedal my 6'2" frame can operate properly and I'm sold. bubblehead's M3 is a lovely piece too, thought I'd prefer the older, lighter body style (E36). I'm dreading to see what the design team is going to do to the 3 series!! :o Funking disaster.

P.S. - bubbleheadM3 - Forget the M6! Turbocharge your 3 and save a few thousand $$$. The M5 has a curb weight of 4000lbs. Can you imagine what the M6 will weigh??? Yikes. The current gen 3 with factory 19s is sick! Keep it.

its not going to be a stoplight racecar.....its going to have speed w/ luxury

2004 BMW 6 Series : A new 6 Series coupe and convertible will be built off the next-generation 5 Series platform. We hear the M-tuned version may use a 5.0-liter V-10, though the V-8-powered 645Ci should still offer potent performance - motortrend
