No. Talented BMW engineers and designers have won me over.

Dear 1600.

All the respons I seen about the F06 6-series GC is exceptionally positive.

But there's also a brand new BMW 3-series coming, the new F30.
And for sure there will be a M3, also.

Also note the new 1-series F20, all turbo engines and with all the fine new BMW tech.

BMW has now introduced a whole fleet of very interesting cars.

Not to mention the two year old F10, which is a very good and nice car!

This way the BMW Group will stay on the market as a Premium car manufacurer,
making good cover to invest in smart tech and fine design and of course keep the stock holders happy.

PS. Don't forget the new fine Mini-models and the very exclusive Rolls-Royce fleet!

I REALLY like finely made things. I have always considered BMW to be a really finely made automobile.
Maybe, I have what the New York Times business section refers to today as "gadget fatigue".
That is the point of my criticism of BMW.

More like BMW is grasping at straws..

The 5er GT will slowly sink to the bottom of the ugly-car cesspool and rest on top of the Pontiac Aztec. The X6 won't sink that deep but probably won't float too much longer either

The 6er Grand Coupe makes the F10 look more and more like a baby F01. Last I remember F01 sales dropped significantly when the F10 was released. I'd bet good money the G/C will cannibalize F10 sales if not sales of BOTH models.

So what's next for BMW to try - the BMW Minivan?? How about the BMW extended cab 4x4???

Swap your M5 to a Chevy Volt! Maybe it helps.

Lack of sun, my friend. And for sure, it's dark over here as in "sensored" or "sensored"
