I'm really curious what a bunch of mustang fans think of the 6 series. I love it. I know the trunk is a little weird, but i love the proportions of the car, its got a nice stance. And those rims that look like solid discs with 7 holes punched in em look pretty cool, in my opinion.

oh ya, and i think the m6 with 500hp is gonna rock. Maybe they can give it some lower profile tires, hahaha.

I like the car, other than the trunk lid. It doesn't look too "Bangled" for me. Great choice of words, by the way!

It's no XK, but it's still attractive. I'd pimp that like a ma'$%&#a.

It's the best of the new bimmers, which really aren't to bad to start with.

The design works best on coupes.

It looks pretty cool standing next to it and walking around...but on the street, viewing from another car, it doesn't really have that same impact

'Bangled' has been added to my dictionary

Actaully, I'm not all that crazy about the 'eyebrows'. I actually like the rear. Its lines are very unique.

Not too bad for a Bangle design, but still too overstyled not seeming to be able to distinguish between interesting styling and good styling. The basic proportions, lines, foms and volumes are fine, but the details, as in Bangle's other bungles, are awkward, discordant and gratuitous, distracting from the overall design rather than enhancing it.

But if this does show an evolving Bangle design trend of better integrating his "interesting" design elements into a cohesive whole, then I imagine by the next two or three BMW designs there will be some genuinely great looking cars rather than his current sophomore-level design theses.
