New 6 Series Cabrio Photos
The 6 series will be released as a cabriolet (probably as a 2005 MY), and attached are some press photos.
First 6 series coupes will be available 3/26/04.
The entire British allotment of 645's (1700 units) has been presold.
I still can't get over the in-your-face, squared off, non-fluid rear end design of the new 5, 6 and 7 series.

The CLS can not compete with this BMW Coupe!
I like it. However, I am partial to all German cars.
What pisses me off is that Mercedes is trying to use that pathetic excuse for a "Coupe" with 4 real doors in the CLS concept. That car is in no way a Coupe. I'd like to see them do a Cabrio version of that car. What a joke. I think Bangle now works for Mercedes!

Sorry but the new BMW 5 series on paper or in person is yuck! The trunk looks like it came from another car, the front looks like a Pontiac, and the interior is a pathetic excuse for a car of that price. Drive wise it should be nice, however, I've heard some bad things about the car's dynamic steering. BMW needs to do some soul searching and bring back the great styling they had in the last 5, 6, and 7 series automobiles.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, or so the saying goes.

Of course looks and styling is a personal preference and those that think the BMW cars are awful are in the minority. BMW sales are exceeding MBZ each year. Mercedes is only on track to show a 1% or less increase for 2003 and BMW 2003 sales are at 11%! I guess those 5 & 7 Series are not ugly to more people than those that visit the Mercedes showroom.
If MBZ thinks that upcoming stupid concept CLS Coupe with 4 real doors is going to beat the 6-Series Coupe and Convertible in sales they are sadly mistaken.

BMW does not add their Mini sales to their BMW sales. Here are the 2002 sales numbers:
MBZ 213,225
BMW 232,032
MINI 24,590
If they added BMW & Mini sales that would be more of an embarrassment and *** kicking to Mercedes with 256,622 units sold for 2002 versus Mercedes 213,225.

Is that a typo? Why would 2003 sales of Mini drop so much? From 144k to only 35k worldwide.

Sorry for the half-baked info.
The sales #'s are worldwide (per autointell), except the projected MINI sales # is USA...
The missing MINI info was:
USA--
2001=0
2002=25K
2003=35K (proj)
Worldwide-
2000=0
2001=25K
2002=144K
2003=151K (thru 10/03)
This note is from GermanCarFans:
Sales of BMW brand automobiles....in the first ten months of the year (2003), at 757,800 units, are only 1.7% below the corresponding figure from the previous year (771,090).
