Yes.

It looks Korean! It's only marginally more hideous than the Audi A1 thing

Definitelt, or any x for that matter!

Yeah, on that note, the x6 reminds me of a hyena, which looks like a dog that's had a couple of paving slabs dropped on its arse, oh and mickey mouse ears pinned on its nut

My first thoughts were a dog squatting down to take a dump. ;D

They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder - in this case the beholder is probably blind  ;)

I think BMWs are the ugliest cars on the road and have been for a while to be honest....

Dont care how nice people that own them say they are (what a surprise!) I still believe that if they werent branded as they are they wouldnt sell a single unit.......

BMW......Badge Motivated W****R........

It doesn't particularily offend me but it certainly doesn't excite me either .
I think I'd sum it up as a car I'd walk past without giving it a second glance, it's bland ,unintersting and I'm afraid like  most all new BMW's aesthetically, a shadow of their former self.
We had a new E46 saloon and 325 coupe prior to comming over here and the only memorable thing about them was the depreciation  .
Whereas a nice E39 still turns heads like a split skirt on a windy day .............. :y

If you want ugly, do a search for a Ssang Yong Rodius. It's so bad I can't bring myself to post a link.

Agree bmw has had some ugly cars for years if it wasn't for badge snobbery they would be on o sales, Who in there right minds would buy a 1 series. only for the £30 road tax i think.

I suspect quite a few will buy just because of the badge on the front ::) ::) ::) ::)
I'm proud to say i've never owned one & I NEVER WILL  :)

E39 looks too much like a melted E34 to me. And I wouldn't have another of those as mine was far too irritating.

I personally love them to be honest, and I happily pay a premium for what I think is a better car. I've had quite a few, and I wouldn't be without one. I don't buy them for the badge either, I buy them because I like them, and I hate the fact that because you buy a BMW your instantly classed as a badge snob, who doesn't use his indicators and drives like a cock, but I know of people in many other cars that don't get any of this for some reason?

e46 and e39 were nice by design imo.. and the new 3 and 5 series..

but those ,  :-? :-? unbelievable.. very ugly..

bmw probably applying some cost cutting, starting by design teams ;D

E46 and E39 were the most timeless designs and still look great today, I still like the E34 M5 though!

I also like the current E89, E92 and F10.  All look great to me, BMW's tend to also have nice interiors in addition to very good driving dynamics.

:-/ ...anyone got an Enigma machine I can borrow - stop talking in code... :D :D
The X6 looks like a 1 series on steriods
The 5 series GT looks like an SD1 in a fairground mirror...... the Audi A7 is what it should have looked like I think. Everything else is boring looking (very nice - but boring to look at)
I think the new generation designers at BMW should have gone to specsavers... 8-).
I like BMW's - but I think they've over egged the pudding a tad with models no one really needs - but they're not the only guilty ones there either....VW/Citroen/Ford/Audi/Toyota....

Yep, can't see the point of most models of car on the market at the moment.  BMW seem to have umpteen Coupes that are jacked up so high they look like off-roaders. Toyota's entire range seem to be so poxy that you can't get an adult in the back seat of any of them  - unless you include the 4 wheeled lobotomy that is the Avensis..

Surely any car range only needs a supermini, a shopping trolley hatchback, a repmobile-sized saloon/hatchback/estate and a large saloon/coupe. Oh, and a convertible 2 seater, of course. I suppose some would say a chelsea tractor too. 9 models max.

Yep, and exactly the wrong form factor of car to benefit from RWD IMHO. ;D
