damn nice piece of technology.

Did notice that it takes 13 liters of Oil..... if its the same as the other M's... its gonna cost like $150 for the parts alone for an oil change.

I'm not too impressed with the interior. Especially the center console. blech.

In case you guys missed this fun fact, the new M5 beats out the new ferrari.

the speedometer reaches 330kmh... I want to move back to germany and take that thing on the Autobahn... Smooth crusing to Munich on A9

Now that BMW isn't completely screwing up their exterior designs anymore, they should hire some of the designers over at Audi to sort out their interior design "shortcomings."

SassyPants · Jul 7, 2005, 11:27 PM

i STILL like the M5 better than the M6

This car has been for ages here - what's the news? Has it only just hit the States?

To whoever said this car looked like a Nissan: WTF??! Maybe you don't get the full impression in the pics, but certainly in person this is one of the most beautiful BMWs I've seen. When you see it you begin to understand where Chris Bangle has been going with his avant-garde designs over the last few years. It's a great synthesis of new BMW and classic Grand Tourer sports car.

Banglization at its finest.

The 6 has been in the US since last year - but no M6 yet. Not even the M5.. I think that's coming in the fall.

If anything, I think the profile looks like a Toyota Solara... Still not a fan of the Bangle era... yet. If anything, I guess we'll just get "used" to it.
