I cant comment on the x5/x6 but I love the new body style personaly. My father has a 7 series, and I've really fallen in love with it. I would probably have someones child if they would give me an m5. Being a man, it would be difficult but id figure something out. I think its a love or hate style though. |
I too favor the new X body style (negating the awful x3) versus much of the rest of bimmer's fleet. However the transition from X5 to X6 is too, well, subtle. Furthermore, my dad also has a 750, and while I think its nicer - one of the "nicer" bimmers - in my humble opinion its no magnificent flag ship. Ever the 328 coupe I have, though I think its one of the nicer if not the best looking bimmer out there, still pails on comparison to the new C and arguably the new A4. Though much of this is simply my opinion, the general consensus is that new BMWs don't have that, well, special sauce, that older versions did. The Germanic class and prestige. The moderated yet elegant looks. BMW is now characterized by an unleashed and untamed design - wild almost erratic angles and curves - ultimately, not what a BMW previously represented. Furthermore, nothing I hope BMW will continue to represent either.
