I wish other car manufacturers would get a clue and make stock concave wheels like BMW.

Other than that, it's not very inspiring.

At least the Bangle butt is gone, that's a plus.

ehh.. kinda looks like Eddie Murphy when he's angry. I prefer the new Z4 makeover.

Looks much better than the current 6. I can see the design cues from the Z4. I wonder if the next 3 is going that direction as well.

I don't see why they won't have that model for Europe, but I highly doubt the US market getting the 635ci.

Looks aight. I'm a fan of the current model too. At least the exterior, lol. I'm glad to see they stepped into the new millenium and will be offering a folding metal roof. Anything over 50K should not have a ragtop!! With the exception of a Bentley/Rolls droptop. Those are old English classics.

I agree, BMW OEM upgrade wheels are some of the best in the business.

You guys are a tough crowd. Looks alright to me.
Looks mean up front and stylish in the rear....more subtle than the current car....which I like as well.
