Daz 330 Cs Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Looks a bit boring in those pics, bet it's not boring to drive Prefer the E60 though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singh Posted April 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 I think the front end looks more agressive than the e60, but I am still not 100% sold on it all - will have see one in the flesh to decide. 552bhp is no joke however - must go like stink seeing as it is meant to weigh no more than the e60, and has a 7 speed box.

Duracell Bunny Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Thats a good point - what do we think is the ugliest car BMW has ever made? Or we could make a topic but slightly alter the question 'What is the ugliest moddified BMW?' lol I think it'll be different in the flesh as with most things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 I like it No where near as beefy looking as the curernt model, but I'd still pull over if it came charging up behind me on the motorway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momo Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Absolutely love the new 5/6/7's! I think its quite a nice looking car! Being a diesel driver I love the idea of a turbo but as i've said before - its based on the same engine as a non-M. Its just been tuned to these power levels which kinda takes away a bit of the "specialness" for me.. Still, I wouldn't say no to one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrink Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 but most M BMW's are based on a non M engine the last on was the exception.. but the E39 M5 was based heavilly on the 4.4 V8 engine from the 540i, the M3 was based on the engine from the 330 with differing stroke, head design etc. But the point is these all start from non M based platforms. Its what they do with it that makes it special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_330CI Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Actually I think the E36 & E46 M3 engine was a ground up design tbh. I doubt much is left of the X5M engine that will be in the M5 either. M Division would do a lot more to queeze a few HP out of an engine than you or I. As for Ugliest BMW ever I give you And contravertially on an E46 site, but I cant say I ever liked any 3 series with more than 2 doors and that includes the 3 door compact things.

Matt_330CI Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Oh god, I forgot about the Offroaders. Every last one of them is filthy ugly, especially the X1, X3 and X6. The X5 is almost barable but tbh, still insulting. Seriously BMW, WTF is going on with this thing? This rear - oh dear?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 I quite like the X6 now. I used to think it was butt ugly, but my opinion's changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singh Posted April 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Orignal X3, X1 and compact are defo up there. The 5 series GT is also a solid contender. As for the M coupe - I think that is being a bit harsh, and that it looks better than all the above mentioned ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_330CI Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 The problem with the M Coupe is that it's not a coupe. It's a roadster with a home made herse conversion welded on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite like the X6 now. I used to think it was butt ugly, but my opinion's changed. +1. Really used to hate them but it's grown on me. Same with all the BMW's e60 onwards really. Couldn't stand the e60 to start with I guess BMW know what I like even before I do...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_330CI Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Is the latest 5er called the F10? There's one parked up every morning, IMO it's a good looking car that definately grows on you the more you see it. More sleek than the E60's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singh Posted April 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Yeah, is the F10 I believe - it does grow on you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan316i Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Change the mirrors, remove the window tints, and thats how the next M5 will look It was the same with the E60 "Concept" M5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cor.blimey Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 it just looks like a long 3 series and in this pic the paint on the front door and front wing dont match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
