The only bad angle on the E63 is when the bootlid is open and it looks abit 'fussy'.

That said, for a car that came out in 2004 it has not aged dramatically and still looks pretty fresh, even in stock 630i trim.

The M6 looks the most exclusive of the lot, quad exhausts, carbon roof, unique paint, massive wheels and brakes. It really sets it apart.

I really like these, and I see one in my future, but I cannot agree that it only has one bad angle. There are a couple of really unfortunate styling details on the car and I think the whole "design language" that it uses was refined and improved a great deal in the subsequent models.

Same as the XJ-S though, weird can be beautiful and some designs take a long time to mature and be properly appreciated.

You sound bitter.

Maybe one whooped you in a race?

PS: What do you drive? Must be something pretty special if you want to st on the 6 series.
What a juvenile thing to say. I don't s on the 6 series (where did you get that from? You obviously read something I didn't write). I'm saying it's ugly.
I think you have a 6 series and you felt someone offended your toy. How sweet of you to stand in and defends its honour. Sweet but unnecessary.

I drive E92 330i if you're that curious. And yes, it is much, much prettier than the 6 series.

Ps. you do realise I'm talking looks here, not performance right?
And you do realise I don't have to agree with you on what does and doesn't look good, right?
Just checking...

I agree, we don't have to agree on what is and isn't pretty. However, to keep repeating ad nauseam that something is not good looking doesn't make you sound too good.

I keep repeating it because people seem to be hell bent on deviating from the argument and making this about engine, performance, character or whatever.
You made this about 'whooping at a race' hence I repeated myself yet again as it seemed like you didn't read the thread before offering an opinion.
So if you feel nauseated, well, it's you own fault in this instance.

Bladedancer, the whole point of this car IS the engine. That's what the talk is all about. It's why the M6 is special. Stop making it about something so subjective as looks.
