BMW fans - What is your favorite current BMW?

[Mr. M]

It was a difficult choice, the contenders being the 7er and the 3er coupé.

I chose the 7er in the end. It's the big daddy BMW and inside and out, it's just supremely designed and well-thought out. It's the car that grabbed all the attention from the W220 in its heyday. And even many years on, it still manages to catch my eye everytime one passes by. Pity then its popularity makes it a victim of its uniqueness, to some degree. But still it's something we haven't seen before, and certainly something that we hope will continue towards the next 7er. I love that turbo lump in the 335i but I can't over the plainess of the interior.

For me it's the E90. IMO the 3 series sedan has the best proportions in the BMW line-up. Also the 3er sedan has sporty design, typical BMW, but also looks very elegant and classy. Interior is also very clean!

A black one for me, with beige leather and wood trim inside. Engine? Probably the 3.5l turbo, and of course, manual transmission..

M6

 

[Mr. Mercedes]

New X5. Such a thoroughly impressive vehicle all round. The interior, dynamics, steering and brakes shame the M-class.

While the facelifted [7er] may be more pleasing to the eye, I still prefer the styling of the 'old' model, especially with respect to the rear. The car is starting to show its age now, but mainly because a lot of sharp and bold edges were softened at the time of the facelift. Every time I see a pre-FL 7er passing by, I am still impressed by its presence and bold styling.

I'm right there with you Zorro. The E65, maligned as it was, will go down in the books as the 1st next-generation car of the new millennium. It's sad that the design, thanks to the slings and arrows, got "dumbed down." I still prefer the pre-facelift E65. It's was a visonary composition, just like the Z4, and managed to single-handedly hoist BMW out of their "conservative yuppie" persona.

3-Series Coupe / Convertible

It looks very classy and the driving dynamics are typical BMW and it seems to be a comfortable car too. I'd probably go for a 335d!

 

[Bartek S.]

M-5 for me please.

 

[Matt]

E92 followed by the E60 FL.
I really apreciate the new 5 series with the L.E.Ds and the new head lamps.. + they both have that awesome N54 under the bonnet.

 

[vedjo01]

M-5 for sure .For what reasons?Hmmm...should I begin explaining ?Nah..

 

[wltsm]

This is a hard choice to choose one car.... because they're all so good!

But probably the M5, the E39 M5 was the car that got me into BMWs, and the current one continues that trend!

 

[dyna-niet]

e 92 m3, e 61 m5 touring new x5 very hard choice but i will pick the e61 m5

 

[hazza79]

M5. By the time I can afford an M3 I am already to old and have family and the fact that it is 4 door super car that can beat some Ferrari & co on the track.

 

[Zonda]

M5. Name says it all.

 

[Mr Robert]

Got to be the M6, sex on wheels.

 

[NarutoRamen]

I'll take the 3er coupe. E92 for me please.

 

[HighestOfHigh]

The 7 series has really been the BMW that made me actually like BMW. I guess it's just time for a change.

3er

 

[HighestOfHigh]

3er

Which one do you prefer? Coupe or Sedan?

Which one do you prefer? Coupe or Sedan?

Both are superb, can't go wrong w/ either. If I had to choose it would be the coupe though for sure. For whatever reason the coupe has more headroom than the sedan, so it makes sense I'd choose the model I'm more comftarble in.

I have to say, with the arrival of the 1er coupe stateside the 3er will probably loose it's place from the top spot in my book.
