A few horses which should have not left the BMW stable Over the last two weeks I have seen two examples of the new BMW X6 car. It is the 'X' version of the equally horrible Six series coupe that to me looks like it has been run over by a steam roller. Looking at X6 car from the side its shape appears to be a lop sided triangle. The only reason I can see for buying this car is to indicate to all you meet while you are driving it that you have fifty thousand pounds to spend on a road vehicle; more than the average person. While I am critising BMW cars, I cannot miss out mentioning the one series that seems to be selling well. The front and rear look like they have come from two different designers who never met each other until they glued their front and rear bits together and then BMW made the car. The final car to mention which is a BMW car in all but name is the Mini. The basic car is a fantastic - if overpriced version of the classic Mini. The rag top version looks silly but then BMW decided to rebuild the Clubman. The original was bad enough but new version looks like a Mini Hearse [pun intended] ( Mar 03 2009, 12:00:01 AM PST ) Permalink Comments [1]Post a Comment: Comments are closed for this entry. |
