#21 of 283 why do we buy bmw's? by portknoxxa Jun 19, 2003 (4:29 pm)
DON'T WE BUY BIMMERS, FOR THIER POWER, PERFORMANCE, HANDLING, ETC. I KNOW STYLING "MAY" BE IMPORTANT, BUT I'LL BUY A 745 OR 760 ANYDAY. PLUS I LIKE THE FACT THAT THESE BMW'S DO NOT HAVE TO RESORT TO SUPER OR TURBO CHARGERS LIKE AUDI AND MERCEDES. NATURAL ASPIRATION IS THE WAY I'LL GO. P.S. I'VE SEEN REPORTS THAT THE NEW M6 WHICH IS GOING TO BE BUILT IS AROUND $80,000. CL 500 IS ABOUT $90,000, CL 600 ABOUT $119,000. QUITE A BARGAIN.
#22 of 283 dumb question about mercedes. by portknoxxa Jun 19, 2003 (4:35 pm)
WHY DOESN'T MERCEDES MAKE THE CL55, S55 AMG FASTER AND POWERFUL THAN THE CL600 AND S600. THAT'S LIKE THE NEW 545I BEING FASTER THAN THE M5. IT SEEMS THAT ALL THE AMG MODELS SHOULD OUTPERFORM THE OTHER CARS IN THEIR RESPECTIVE CLASS, LIKE BMW'S M-DIVISION. PLEASE GIVE ME SOME FEEDBACK ON THIS.

The Cl600 and the S600 are the flagship cars of Mercedes-Benz. They have a lot more ammenities that are standard and you get the image that doesn't come with the 55's. The 600 is for the customer who wants more luxury, and the 55 is for the buyer who wants a more performance oriented vehicle.

They finally have 6 Series pictures (4 of them, 3 exterior, 1 interior)   http://www.bmwusa.com   I myself do not like it!
#25 of 283 Pleasant surprise: I like it! by raychuang00 Jul 10, 2003 (7:53 pm)
Having seen pictures of the new BMW 645Ci, I actually LIKE the design of the new car. The lines are surprisingly beautiful, and the front and rear ends aren't overstyled like it is with the new BMW 530i saloon.
#27 of 283 hmm... by thenebean9 Jul 14, 2003 (10:57 am)
im not really thrilled with it either...BMW is trying to be more modern and cutting edge with their designs, but it doesnt seem like they know how to do that successfully. you would think that after all the criticism they received for the 7 series redesign, they'd know better than to make every other redesigned bmw look like it! the 5 series has that same weird trunk, and now the 6!   i am definitely not a fan of the exterior styling of this car, too bad!
#28 of 283 FWIW by andys120 Jul 17, 2003 (6:48 pm)
I've seen a number of 6 series pix. I think it likes very cool but I'll wait until I see the actual car (Spring '04 intro).   I've liked Beemer coupes since the old 3.0CS.
#29 of 283 BMW Design by bmw_dude Aug 16, 2003 (12:25 pm)
Interesting that so many people make such strong claims about the design of the new 7 series. How many of you are aware that the 7 series is outselling the Mercedes S class at a 2 to 1 ratio. Obviously there are a goodly number of people who like the new shapes, lines, and technology of the new 7. The 5 is going to be even more awesome than the 7. The interior room is tremendously improved. The overall styling is impressive, modern and pushing other manufacturers to rethink their product line. Did you know that Mercedes is hurrying up their redesign of the S class to finally compete with the 7? It takes daring to step out from the crowd. BMW did it. Yes there were some issues. But heck with the amount of technology, these problems have been rectified quickly.

"How many of you are aware that the 7 series is outselling the Mercedes S class at a 2 to 1 ratio."   I guess none one would be, since that clearly isn't the case in the U.S. YTD sales for the 7-Series are 11,530. YTD for the S-Class is 12,318. Both numbers through July. Hardly a 2 to 1 ratio there. BTW, the 7-Series is down from last year, while the S-Class now in it's 4th model year in the U.S. is up compared to 2002.   "Did you know that Mercedes is hurrying up their redesign of the S class to finally compete with the 7?"   Really? I would have thought since the current S-Class was introduced in 1998 for 1999 (Y2K model for U.S.) that in 2005-06 it would be due for a re-design anyway. Where are you getting all this incorrect information from?   Did you know that the current 7-Series was pushed back a year due to how well the current S-Class turned out? Rumor, just like the above, but it's been reported by more than a few industry folk, unlike the above..which nobody has heard anything about.   M
