BMW Design

surferdude00711 · 10-21-2004, 04:55 PM

I live in an area where there are a lot of BMW 5, 6 , and sevens. You see see a Z4 occasionally. I made this thread because I was curious what other people think of BMW designs, but please don't say you hate it if you really only seem them in pictures. Like Caddies, they look so much better in person.

I saw a Black 6-series with the top down, and it looked gorgeous. It was evening and the light glow that yellow glow you notice if you see a 6 or seven at night. It accelerated and made a nice tone, and looked really great. The trunk, which everyone seems to hate, really isnt ugly at all. I like teh 6 a lot. Can't wait for the M6, vert... Whats better than a big fast RWD convertible?

The 5 isn't that great. The back 3/4 view is better than the front I think. The headlights are too cat-light. The roofline and side view looks muscular, but that front end ruins it. I don't mind the trunk.

The 7 Looks elegant, but the interior is nothing to brag about. Handling is bests in its class, And that yellow glow I was talking about looks good. It has the same muscular look at the 5, but it looks more executive with its front end. It looks very middle of the road with stylng.

What do you all think? Whats your favorite; 5, 6 or 7?

If I had to take a 5,6 or 7, it would be the 6 for sure.
But unfortunately I really don't like the "Bangled" new BMW designs, especially the trunk lines.
The whole cars are way overstyled. Something that wasn't traditional BMW.

Pontiac has become BMW, and BMW has become Pontiac. (Style-wise).

Now if only the chassis/drivetrains would swap as well....

i dont mind the 5/6, but the 7 and Z4 are a bit much

i hate the 7, love the 6, love the z4, and love everything about the 5 except the tailights. the new m5 is the coolest beemer ever (at least until they make the m6)
