... and I think it's REALLY ugly. On the other hand, also featuing is the new M3 coupe. That, is NOT ugly...

You can buy both and swap the engine : a 3 series with the V8 biturbo would be better and faster than the sad M3 4.0 .

I saw a 3 coupe M (not M3) on the road tonight ... don't like it at all. Looks far too small and unimposing. The old M3 was "chunky". The new one looks like a little girl designed it. No aggression at all.

I like it as well, i am convincing my mate to get rid of his X5 and get the X6. Any ideas of the launching date?

It's interesting but it's kinda pointless isn't it? I will reserve final judgement until I see the dimensions in person but this thing is going to cost more than an X5 but be less useful as a people mover or as a sports car. It might very well be BMWs equivalent of nipples on a man.

I might be in the market for the Hybrid version of the X6 when it hits the states.

I don't really like the new X6, but it may grow on me.
Here is a link to the new Dodge Avenger Concept, look familiar?

Looks like the X6, and also looks like this ... http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=48521
Maybe all the designers went to a party and one of them said "hey look what I've drawn", and they all went "ooooh", and wandered back to their respective car companies thinking "I'm going to pretend I drew that".
