Exactly, how the heck can you "face-lift" a car that is ugly as hell to begin with?

A complete redesign is the only cure for this thing called a car.......

Im no doctor but it looks like it has down syndrome. IF you take off the trunk and look at it from a side view it looks like a Porsche Carrera.

I never had a big problem with the 6er's looks, esp. in convertible form. The new electronic gearshifter is a problem though.

I love the Bangle Bimmers and especially the 6er.
You guys calling it ugly doesn't surprise me. Most people don't like cars that go outside the box. So many cookie cutter designed cars that it's gets boring. Bangle went outside the box. He was bold and it paid off. Despite world criticism, Bimmers still sell very well. Even more, other manufactuers have been copying the styling cues like mad. The new S-Class Benz is definitely a result of Bangle's success. No longer a box on wheels it now boasts unique, and may I add, successful styling.

I don't like the 6er face lift because I thought the car was great as is.

New and different is nice, but that alone doesn't make it aesthetically pleasing. The oddly shaped headlights don't fit with the straight bumper. The car looks like it's about to cry.

after seeing the car everyday, i find the 6er to be very attractive. This is probably the first BMW facelift that i actually like.

I never judge a car by pictures - must see in the flesh......

However, the rear end (from the side view) seems to be a little out of wack........

I think pictures don't really do it much justice, it looks better in person.
