post a message when you grow some hair on your testicles and start driving. And not some civic with a lose body kit and and window tint. A real car with real power and good looks.
NOT anybody can design an engine like this. Take your head out of your ass and come to the realization that – no matter what they put it in, BMW designs and builds the most amazing engines out there. A reverse-flowing V8 with twin turbos in the center of the “v”? They even selected which cylinders pulse to each turbo so that both receive a “pulse” at each 90deg. turn of crankshaft – 21psi stock? Remember, they got 340hp out of a non-forced induction 3.2L I6? Incredible engineering, period.
The engine is great, yes I understand that. All the fine work done deserves credit and praise indeed. However the shell or body surrounding this symphony is not holding up to bmw standards. It looks like some 15 yr old kids wet dream of a sports machine. The m3 will still be my favorite bmw ever. I don’t look like a sports car fan poser in that.
Anybody who thinks that BMW X6 is not a gorgeous car is obviously blind. I don’t care about practicality, sense e.t.c. X6 is a beautiful car, and I actually like regular 50 better. It’s like a Ferrari F355 in a sense, there isn’t a line wrong on it.
And the point of this is: 1. BMW. 2. Beauty. 3. Can get me to my fav lake through a mild off road situation while being fun on a twisty blacktop while getting there.
Polarizing looks but I would love to shoehorn that engine into my 135i
yea…not only the x6 but all the bmw cars are gorgeous (except the newer models like the new 5 series gt for example)…the only thing that i don’t like is that this model and other models too don’t come with a manual transmission….the best car in the world (in my opinion) is the bmw m5…so too bad it dosen’t come with a manual transmission but the smg 7 speed…
I drive a 325i and boxters make the Porsche gods sad…if you even have one.
Not if you tune it up. mine will destroy most bmws, and where I drive, its not all about speed in line. I like turns and and canyon driving. I will say a 325i is a sexy looking car, it has good lines and an aggressive stance. My boxster looks strange with the top up, but when its down, gotta love it!
This car is so ridiculously pointless.
I want one.
Damn I want 1 of these!
The M philosophy that we all know and love was thrown out the window for the tree huggers, marketing reasons, and penny pinching. I remember when BMW M scoffed at competing manufactures (MB AMG/ Audi RS) for using forced induction in their high performance lines. Now BMW goes and does the same thing. Thanks BMW for going against your word and philosophy while answering a question no one asked.
lol beats a suv beats a muscle car
boxsters dont look right there flat with like a bump in the middle from the roof
u can thank my uncle for this car. he helped design it
uh huh….yeah….n i designed the reventon
the cheap bmw lol
not even kining he works for BMW in Germany
look up the history of a roadster, they are designed to look flat, that’s the point. lol as if i want to be sitting up high with a windshield at a 90 degree angle slapping the air. That’s the good ole’ american sports car look, big bulky flat lines that look terrible. I have yet to drive an american car that drives like my boxster. It looks like that for a reason, not just for looks. Ill take muscle that has a function over show muscle any day. A boxer can defeat a weightlifter in a fight.
I saw 1 of these friday.. nice but for the M model the wheels should bit bigger
i saw him there last year, tell him he missed a spot mopping in the show room. and to stop peeking in the production rooms, thanks.
It is funny seeing how BMW made these M badged SUV’s before they made an M7. I mean look at Mercedes’ success with the AMG S-Classes, shouldn’t that be enough of an initiative?
alpina B7 is there… check out the website for alpina and you will find that it has 4.4 L engine with 0 – 100 only 4.5 sec… mercedes needs more than 6 litre engine to give the same performance..
and yes I agree you… M has to do something to make M7
new 760 has ttv12 0-60 in 4.5 s id say thats fast enough for a 7
Yeah but the Mercedes-Benz S65 has a TTV12 and gets to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds. That is fast.
