BMW joins Porsche in producing abominations that spit in the eye of what the company used to be about. The ultimate driving machine? The ultimate Home Depot machine from the looks of it. Never ever ever will buy one of these, nor the X6,X5, X anything.

yeah. it is dissapointing. if the F10 is ugly, which i suspect is a possibility, my next car will be a used E60 M5.

Haha, well said. And that "hump" from the E65 seems to come back and haunt us. Bangle's last move before himself moving ?


The ultimate Home Depot machine Did you read that BMW?!?

... great looking interior, though.

I'm really trying to like it and be open minded about this new design, but its not working... and with this model I don't think my opinion will change when I see it in real life!
