I have been a BMW fan for the past decade. 75% of BMW's that have come out since then did not appeal to me in the concept stage, but slowly grew on me (except the z4, it's always been hot).
The old 6er immediately grabbed me. A decent and balanced mix of style / sleekness and brutishness won me over.
When this concept was released, i said "mehh. I'll like it in 6 months." Now...not so much. They seem to have stripped the aggressiveness from the car and made it very sleek / stylish, which I'm sure appeals to many, but not I. Even with a wheel which actually FITS the wheel well I still think it's not up to par with it's MB and Audi counterparts. Granted, I'd honestly rather have the new V8 M6 engine over the old V10, but I'd 10 times over prefer the old body.
