I think the M6 is awesome.

Althought I prefer Lexus cars, sometimes BMWs just stops me and makes me think twice.

How much is that car? My guess is $90,000? I'd take it!

It would be sweet if Lexus produced a GS430 Coupe or an LS430 Coupe.

I just got in from lunch and drove next to a 645i (I think it was) Convertible.

Wow, who let that POS off the design table and fed it to the boss? That Bangle-*** is SO out of proportion it reminds me of that Japanese Ricer thread where the guys have 3 foot bumpers that extend straight out. The trunk just DOES NOT GO ON THAT CAR. It's HUGE and flows into absolutely nothing. What a horrible, horrible design. Can anyone appreciate that? It looks like someone put a HUGE ricer whale tail wing on the car -- except it's standard.

I would buy one and the first thing I'd do is fabricate my own trunk out of fiberglass that actually -- oh I dunno -- FITS on the damn thing? Follow the fender's lead and make a Porsche-inspired coupe.

PFFT. I hope the aftermarket makes something like that to fix this car. Hopefully BMW will see that and see what a clusterfcuk their design really is.

"Hey Bangle, they buy your car but put on their own trunks because yours just sucks ***. You're fired."



I can dream.

Couldn't have said it better I think BMW is doing a redesign of the back as reported here.

Looks like a mix between a Porsche 996 and a Pontiac GTO from this angle.
