All it needs is a little tweak.

Love it!

[bodhi]

Quite happy to go against the crowd here and say that I love it. Stonking great V8, RWD and looks pretty damned good too. I am deeply unlikely to buy one for cost reasons, but would still deeply like to. Probably a bit heavier than it needs to be, but as I don't plan on carrying it anywhere, I am less than bothered.

Adopt this style you must.

Sweet jesus that new M6 is pig ugly, I thought the previous incarnation was a minger but the post bangle effort we now see is a tripple bagger! BMW may be able to manufacture cracking engines,tech filled cars and fun handling uber saloons but they sure as hell don't produce many decent looking motors at present!!
The Z4 coupe is about the only recent beemer that looks ok imho...

£100k ... no thanx ...

Makes this look even better value http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/4012635.htm

And I think E63 owners could shred tyres even quicker

you've just picked a van of similar colour and posted it up. i've seen an orange mustang which looks like that van too

I see it now you mention it.

Has the back end gone before it even got to the corner due to the crap chassis?

from what reviews have said, the BOSS mustang handles very well indeed. but what it doesn't do like it's apparent rival (M3 according to the manufacturers themselves) is ride half-decent on normal roads....well, normal for the UK at least.

[TotalZ4]

As much as I like the M6,I would have to seriously consider an F360 Spider with a Capristo and pocket 50k in the process.

Mine handles Welsh roads extremely well and the ride is better than most German cars. I don't know about the Boss but the older GTs were too soft if anything.
The M3 is not a Mustang's rival, it is its benchmark. It can't be a rival at twice the price.

With the 4p plastic interiors and 1950s suspension you would expect it to be only half the price of the BMW.

I like it. It could be worse... It could be in that awful matt (st) brown that BMW is displaying at the FOS.
I noticed that they are now using double columns on the kidney grilles as opposed to singles... When did that start happening? Or is it exclusive to the new 6er?

But not faster round a track...

That said, I think BMW interiors rate more than 4p surely?

Certainly a million times better than the Mustang which has more in common with a skip

the boss mustang isn't half the price though, it's the same. your mustang is half the price, but it's not as quick as an M3, nor is the interior as nice. the boss mustang is as quick (quicker....?) as the M3, costs the same, but rides poorly from what multiple reviews have said compared to the M3.

also - FWIW the M3 rides MUCH better than other BMWs on run flats. their ride is usually fine once you change those st tyres. they work in Germany, but not here sadly.

It is half the price in the US. Hard to compare them here because if you imported an M3 from the US, it would still be twice the price IYSWIM

How do you know an M3 is faster than mine? Mine has better suspension than the Boss and more power. I'm sure the M3 is easier to extract the most from though.

Interiors are subjective. I've never seen a BMW interior I like and the "quality" argument passes me by. Idiots who refer to them as skips are clearly very insecure/petulant/immature.
