Bangle's old style looks droopy, always did.

New style looks aggressive and elegant.

Never liked the old one, the new is awesome! Can see several design features that have been kept but been improved.

old one looks much better.. I don't know why they run that line on the side of the car all the way back to the trunk on the new one.. It makes the rear end look too long

You mean massive body roll, a steering system that is not connected to the front wheels, and the engine note played through the speaker system?!?!?!?!

Didn't mind the E63 in it's time, but the F13 looks like an amazing upgrade. It looks so much more refined like the F10 from the E60. But the F13 interior just completely blows the E63 interior away. I love it!

I think the older one looks much better. I just purchased a 2010 Vert (brand new) with a 20K discount and 0.9 % financing. I couldnt pass it up on a 100K car. It looks amazing with the 20" //M wheels I put on it.

Yeah, the new F13's tail is so much shittier looking in comparison to the E63's. Nothing flows. It's a hodge podge of overdone details and surfacing.

My biggest flaws with the F13:
1) THE TAILLIGHTS ARE WAY TOO HIGH
2) The headlights need solid eyebrows instead of a cheap single LED piping that just sits there
3) The wheels look like ass compared to the "old" elegant 5-spokers
4) They mangled the roof line. It was perfectly curved on the old 6er and now they decided to add a massive rear deck for god-know's-what reason
5) I can't believe they thought having that many lines on the front bumper was a good design decision

E63 ftw. More elegant. Simpler. More unique. Better proportioned. Just plain better.

front of the new one is betteer but the e63 is more proportional and at least the lines flow with each other, a better car overall

the new front looks much better imo but from every other angle i'd give it to the old one,

and i definitely do not like the chrome window trim, black would have been much better imo and gone more with the aggressive look

Old one looks much more sleek and coupe look. The headlight setting of the old modeled 6 looks droopy. A more aggressive head light setup would top off the old 6 over the new. Btw.. the vents in the center dash of the new 6 reminds me too much of the new audi a4 interior vents.. I hope bmw wasn't copying audi.. BMW is such a better company than audi in terms of sports cars.. e90 330i ZHP e46 330 all day

The old one had a much nicer rear, but a hideous front end. The new one has a better front end but less exciting rear. Both are distinct looking cars, although I wouldn't get either because they are too big and heavy to handle well. I test drove a 645ci convertible a while ago and it really felt like a boat even with the sport button pressed. The 335 coupe/convertibles handle so much better and even have more rear legroom so they'd be my pick even though they are near ubiquitous.

Love the fact that the radio/nav console is tilted towards the driver again.
