BMW 6 SERIES (2003-CURRENT)

We Say...
After a long hiatus, BMW's large coupe is back. More GT than sportscar, the 6 Series sports BMW's controversial styling again. Polarizing design aside, the 6 Series is a pretty good contender with its comfy cabin, excellent build and good refinement. It's more adept in turning heads than the Merc CLK, but we didn't say it was because of its beauty.
