i hear ya, and thats one of my gripes though, i hate having to fall for a car, it should be designed as such to inspire, and i dont think any of the new bmw designs are inspirational. i may wind up with another bmw only because of my own stupid mind as its hard to leave a marquee that you've been into for more than 20 years, though not impossible...

I don't know, man. I love the new 6er. Absolutely love it. And the new 7er too, for that matter. And I'm looking forward to the new 3 series - I think it may actually be my next car, if its big enough.

i dont love the droopy headlights, thats whats really killin it for me with the new 6er...and im probably bored(spoiled/lucky what have you) since I've had the e63 body on my last two cars for nearly 6 years now, so i may just need a totally diff look, but who knows...as for the next 3er, well the specs say that with its as expected growth, it now basically mirrors the e39 in size, so its going to be big by historical sizing of the 3er..i keeping my eye on it as well

F12/F13 6 Series is one of the most beautiful BMW cars I've seen in a long time...

E60 I fell in love with immediately! Same with F12/F13 6 Series.

The F10 is not so attractive to my eyes as the headlight is, I personally think, confused! It's doesn't slender down or aggressively go up like the E60. It's confused.

F10 M5, which I wanted to purchase (obviously before official pictures came out), is not aggressive enough and the headlights is the same story as normal F10s.

F12/F13 and F01 are the only F-code named BMWs I like.

I think of the engines in the link, the 640d looks the most interesting. Almost as quick as the petrol variant, but loads more torque.

"droopy headlights" on the new 6 Series? Are you kidding me?!

If you want to see a REAL "droopy headlights" go and look at the F10 5 Series.

The F01 7 Series and F13 6 Series have a bona fide evolution-ised headlights of the E60. Not droopy at all in my eyes.
