I also like it. Definitely upgrade the wheels. Doesn't it come w/ optional wheels? I don't see that on the bmwusa site yet for the 3 series. I prefer BMW over Benz or Audi A4.

BMW better thank it's chassis and drivetrain engineers with massive bonuses this year...the only reasons I can think of for BMW's continued sales are the fact that people buy BMW's because they have blue and white propellers on the hood, and because they are technically brilliant. It's that contingent of people who will buy Bimmers just because they have the status of being a bimmer owner that is keeping the company alive. I don't see how BMW corporate can stand to leave Bangle in power over styling, because the overwhelming response from the media and public to his new designs has been negative. So much so in fact that there are people who are starting to shy away because of the styling. It's not elegant, and too polarizing for the conservative marketplace.

with that said, the 6 looks halfway decent to me, almost sleek...but i don't like it when a design only looks good in certain colors. a truly good design should look good in any color (S2000, NSX, 360M, 550/575, etc.). The wheels really do need to be melted down....

the jury is still out... I will need to see it on the road...
It's got a great classic coupe profile, but the details are horrible... I hate that headlight design. Maybe the Down Road Graphics will come together and create a different impression than the one you get in photos.
