I really hope that isn't the final roof design.

zoom335is · 07-07-2010, 11:44 AM

Not a fan, with the top down I don't like the way it looks. And overall its way to long, its a bloody boat.

///Ben · 07-07-2010, 12:08 PM

it looks like a girl's car... or a girlie man's car...

E92Alpine328i · 07-07-2010, 12:40 PM

Im going to count the times people say the soft top is a fake

tonmonde · 07-07-2010, 01:01 PM

tad too big for my tastes...

slog · 07-07-2010, 01:14 PM

Way too big.

GuyOh · 07-07-2010, 01:48 PM

looks ugly with the soft top

djvicious · 07-07-2010, 01:51 PM

Why a soft Top?? the 3 and the Z have a hard top, but not there flagship coup/ convertible. the car is OK looking, im sure it'll grown on me, but the convertible is disappointing.

jlstyle · 07-07-2010, 02:04 PM

I must say LARGE instead of big...this car is so large in a bad way.
I kinda wished it to be long but sexy as SL.

nate82 · 07-07-2010, 02:30 PM

Looks a lot like the previous 6 series. IMO it still looks like a catfish.

Project1 · 07-07-2010, 08:46 PM

The new grilles BMW is going with just don't mesh with the 6...not that I think any 6's have looked good since the 635is...

bavarian19 · 07-07-2010, 08:52 PM

No hard top

Frosty · 07-07-2010, 08:58 PM

....*sigh* there will be a soft top AND a option for a hardtop... that soft top is real..

roho3323 · 07-07-2010, 09:02 PM

I'm sorry... the convertible looks HORRIBLE. It looks long...WAAAYY TOOO LOONG! Looks too feminine.

The other pics of the coupe look much better so I guess we will just have to wait.

I do have to say that the new design language for the front end of BMW's does NOT look good and I am not just talking about the big grilles... The open month bottom valance is just silly. The only good thing I guess is that the M-Sport will always look so much better because they will have a nicer front end...compare the new 5 series front end to the newly revealed 5 series M-Sport.

I have been in the market for an 07-08 M6 but I am on the fence because I want to see if I should wait for the new 6... but now I am not sure.

uhn2000 · 07-07-2010, 10:09 PM

Not flattering pictures for the 6 series.

Zell · 07-07-2010, 10:21 PM

Boy that thing looks ginormous for a drop-top. It's so long! Or at least, it looks that way.

blacknbean · 07-07-2010, 10:23 PM

that thing is HUGE...like one of those old school cadillacs my dad had back in the day lol

bdardashti · 07-07-2010, 11:36 PM

Too long. And the passenger compartment doesn't really look THAT much bigger than the 3 coupe. Certainly not to the same ratio as the overall car size. And is it just me or is BMW overhands getting longer and longer with each car?

DiRTyDeLuX · 07-08-2010, 12:13 AM

I don't like the color. It looks like a zebra.

I am guessing it is because of the cost of parts required for a mechanical hard top. BMW got smart and is going to start charging a premium price for a "hardtop option." I hope its not passed 5k. I honestly think it should of came standard as hardtop, but I can see why they made it an option. But all in all, it's kind of funny to see someone drive a flagship car that is going to be base model without a hardtop

SoCali E90 · 07-08-2010, 02:31 AM

looks really boring. I hate what BMW has done to the individual characters of there vehicle line up.
