I tried to be open minded about the X4

I really did. But my god it has to be one of, if not the ugliest things in BMW's lineup. The "Coupe-SUV" thing works fine on the X6, even better on the new one. But the shorter X4, no thank you. Burn it.

M6 GC to make up for the pain.

Wow, that bad? I always think these are the weirdest looking of the current lineup when I (rarely) see one cruising down the road:

Kinja'd!!!

That M6 GC is pretty, though.

The 5GT looks okay if it has the right sized wheels, and is the right color.

M6 GS, the gran coupe is a travesty of a name, I prefer gran saloon

Fair enough, though I don't think I've seen that combination yet. :-)

I always just call it the M6...

The only BMW currently on sale that I would call "pretty" is the Z4.

For me it's black with 20 inch 5-spoke wheels.

Please do. And the X6 that spawned it.

I dunno, I like how the 3/4 series looks.

It's not pretty. It really, actually isn't. The new Mazda 6 is pretty. The 3/4 is not.

Styling is a personal thing and I like it so.

I think my favorite current BMW is the M5.

I know it has fake engine noise. That is lame.

But the looks. My God the looks. And the interior.

I'd take it over the M6 GC. I like the boxier look more. I think it makes it look more mean.

I really like how the 3/4 series looks without the M-Sport aero kit. It just seems like a really nice design to me. A little bland? Maybe, but it's clean.

I just love the 5 series so much that everything else looks off to me. Which is weird because I've never had a 5 before. I've always driven 3s.

Look at this beauty of an interior:

There's one thing BMW hasn't managed to screw up yet and that's interiors. They all seem like a great place to be.

Now we just gotta rob a bank so you can get your M6 GC and I can get an M5

I like it. But then I also like the Panamera and loooooove the Crossfire...

I like the Panamera, LOVE the Crossfire, but multiple somethings about the X4 are hellaciously off, but I'm not sure what they are.

the M6 GC is a work of art. The interior is far more sumptuous than the M5. That being said, the M5 has provenance that the M6 GC does not have.

thats a sportline, not an Msport.

heliochrome85 > Manuél Ferrari
07/08/2014 at 01:48

this is an M6.

That's what I said, without the M-Sport aero kit.

I guess it would've just been easier to say Sport.

ah i missed it. The problem is that the Msport kit buys you the FABULOUS STEERING WHEEL. the standard wheel is really unpleasant (t0 me). The MSport wheel itself is worth 750 + cost of airbag.

No. Be a 3-series sedan or be an X3. Don't be this weird mishmash of both.

Logansteno: Bought a VW? > heliochrome85
07/08/2014 at 01:57

I'd have to feel both wheels in my hand, but the M-Sport wheel looks like it's a fabulous wheel.

I've just figured it out.

Someone cut the roof off an X3 and put a 4GranCoupe roof in it's place! Then they added some ugly bumpers.

the Msport is considerably more substantial in the hand (I've got big hands). plus it has much more luxurious nappa leather to cover the rim. It truly is a masterpiece.

The M6 GC is definitely sumptuous! I'm not anti the GC at all. I just like the traditional boxy bimmers a lot :)

Then I saw the concept at the LA Auto Show

I dont know...I've seen a few Gran Coupes around...it's sooo long and wide and low and sleek. /drooool

I forgive the Panameras looks because it is ABSOLUTELY GLORIOUS to drive.

Of the entire X-line I only like the X1 and the X3. The X5 is OK but I prefer the first gen. Finnily enough, I have rented both a 318d Touring, and a X1, drove both extensively, and I prefer the X1.

The 3-series really disappointed me. There is so much hype built into that car, then you get inside it, the ergomomics suck, it's not the bees knees as you were told, and the car was a huge let down.
