I like it (in the hardtop version). Plus the M6 should be a killer. I have read reports that a v10 engine might be the powerplant of choice.

Also, since the 6 is based on the 5 full size sedan, it should theoreticaly sit 4 adults with more comfort than the C-class based CLK can.

What's UP?

What's the deal with BMW and these funny shaped asses on their cars?

The *** completely ruins the new 7 series....why put that thing on yet ANOTHER car?

Wasn't that taken from the Z8 that never hit production or something like that?

That 6 series looks nice. I agree with quaz. The new MBW rears are ugly. Current 7 series and the upcoming 5 series. I almost purchased a 540 before my CLK. Those were nice, but I've seen pics of the redesigned 5's...no good.
