Loving the Z1-inspired front end treatment

Phew! Not just me that can see it then!

[DrTre]

Huh? Z1 inspiration?!

[y282]

big improvement overall, rear 3/4 and back end are much, much better.

if i were to pick at one area, the front looks like it carries itself a little high up compared to the rest of the car. not the ride height, just the shape, if that makes any sense?

still a big improvement tho.

It's nice, but that's it. It's just 'nice'.

Current 6 is at the very least distinctive with styling that divides opinion. One of my most desirable cars ever the current 6.

This is yet another step towards conservatism in design first seen with the E90 then followed by the F10. A real shame to waste those highly creative and infuential Bangle years.

You don't see it?

The car looks really crap at this angle.

The rear view... someone hand me the kleenex.

[Grodecki]

Looking forward to the M version, that's a nice looking car.

Err neither do I see it.

One is a striking design, with a neat grill.

The angles on the new six are completely at odds, the slant eye lights are bland, the grill stretched. One is a rounded wedge shape in the way the the Esprit redux was, the other reminds more of a ford sierra.

I think it's a great looking car. Is it as nice as the E24 though?

BMW needs to put a shark-none on cars again.

No chance, NCAP wouldn't allow that for pedestrians.

Hmmm not sure I like this or not. Just seems a bit of a weird combination of E63 6-Series, E92 LCI 3-Series and F10 5-series. Perhaps it will grow on me over time. Aren't they releasing it a bit late anyway? I'm sure the E63 came out before the E60, or have I got mixed up?

Afraid not. IMO.

I don't understand comments like this, what do you prefer about the old E24 to this? Genuine question not taking the piss.

[va1o]

Perhaps not really the same class but I much prefer the looks of the new E-Class coupe:


I'm sure many will disagree though, so each to there own

[Grodecki]

The E Class front lights just make me sad

[F1GTRUeno]

That is genuinely awful.
