What's everyone's opinion on the controversial Bangle styling?

You don't like the 6-Series? It's probably his best design IMO.

Well, it's not terrible, but the droopy front end is just odd, imo.  The others all seem to be smiling.

And if you don't like the current 6-Series front end, look at how bad it could be:

I really dislike it. The new 3,5, and 7 series are just ugly, in my opinion. The 6 isn't quite ugly, but it's not beautiful either. It's an... okay... looking car.

Speaking of that, my father's (former) boss got a new car a few months ago that I'm hoping to ask him to drive sometime. He always liked me, so I can probably con him into it. It's a 2004 BMW 760Li
(That's right, V12, 438hp, 444 ft lbs torque, 0-60 in 5.4 seconds for a car that is 203.5 inches long and weighs 4872 pounds )
Downside? It's not very good looking, in my opinion, and it cost 128K. If I can EVER afford to spend that much on a car, I think I'll choose something that I at least like how looks.

3 series - boo


5 series - boo


6 series - good: not ugly, not heartstopping, but between average and elegant (<- if that's the right word for it)


7 series - boo

I like all of them except the Z4, but I only like the interiors of the new 3 and x3.

I can't remember any of the BMW interiors except for the 6-series (with red leather) and the 5-series which is alright.  I didn't like the Z4 when it first came out, but it kinda grew on me.  (is it a Bangle too?)
