BMW 6 Series

Our last 6-series 'sperience was in 1989 in the 635CSi with the 3.5-liter six-cylinder. Chris Bangle -- he of the 7-Series trunk lid and latest 5-Series headlamps -- created this reincarnation of the high-end sport coupe. There's still that trunk lid to contend with, but the headlights look more correct -- as on the new Z4. The 4.4-liter V8 in the 645Ci -- pulled from the 745Li -- will make sweet music and we can't wait for the chance prior to its April '04 on-sale date. 328 hp with a 5.6-second 0-60 mph time won't hurt but the $69,000 might.

I really don't like the direction BMW is going with it's looks...cars are getting nasty.

But the performance side or them is getting more and more impressive.

i dunno, i don't think it looks that bad. i really like the style of the last generation five series, but this isn't as bad as the new Z4.

The only thing I like about the Z4 is the rear end. The front is HEINOUS! I just saw my first new 5 series while in Hawaii and I still haven't decided whether or not I like it.
