    Post I love BMW but......

    I love BMW, obviously. But nothing is perfect, and in BMW's history there have been some cars which I personally have such a deep dislike towards that I just pretend they don't exist, so much so that I forget they actually do.

    An example of this is the e36 compact (sorry I know there's some love for them on here, but different strokes for different folks, freedom of speech etc)..... I can't tell you other examples simply because I've willed them out of my memory.

    However, a friend was describing a car to me yesterday which reminded me of the existence of one such example - the 5 series GT - and instantly triggered my gag reflex... He sent me a link to this Beshoff's ad....

    I was mid protest as I was opening it but as I went through the pictures I slowly quietened down and started thinking.... "hmmm... not bad!!!"

    Now this is the "6 series" (still not happy about it being referred to as a 6 series) but with the refreshed, G30-fied looks, the front end, sloping roof line and that rear end... It got my attention!

    It's kind of like running into "that girl you never paid attention to in school" after a few years have passed and think "Oooo... I would, yea"

    It kind of looks like an X6... saloon? I don't know, but I like it! Particularly in white with the pano roof.

    Are these quarantine-goggles? Or does anyone feel the same?

    Anybody have a similar story about other cars in BMW's history?



    Edit:

    PS. for the sake of comparison, here it is "when it was in school"....
