BMW. The ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE. BMW did not provide the Ultimate display at the LA Auto Show, but did celebrate the two world premieres of the X5M and X6M. These two cars are the latest iterations of the high-performance M-Motorsport Division at BMW. T...  

I saw it in the Streets a few week ago, and wow, it is really a surprising car... I still have to get used to the idea to use a hybrid car, though... But the shape of the body, the noise of the engine... Well, it got me thinking... Best, Nicolas

Wow, envy you getting to see those cars now. Still undecided by the X5M or X6M. Usually - always the X5 for practicality...but that’s probably more adaptable to the standard X5 and X6's. The M versions you buy for the ultimate experience - and its my opin...  

I personally find the X6 to look very strange and high profile. Since I like to be incognito, I'd probably prefer the more subtle X5.

I find them too conservative. Is it only me? - AT

But they're really hard to clean... All those spokes would be a nightmare for someone like me who cleans my own car entirely by hand without using harsh chemicals to clean the wheels. In general, multi-spoke rims are supposed to be more "luxurious" than s... 

am I the only one not entirely impressed with the Alpine 6 series? Albeit I do like the 7 series alpina, Maybe the car will grow on me when seen in the flesh. Thank you for the photos

What are you not impressed about? The aesthetic look? The performance? The whole car? I find the aesthetics of the B6 to be intentionally not impressive. It's for someone who wants a more incognito look. Aesthetically I love the M6, with its really deep f... 

Is the future.

now they have to remember all these models. Used to be 3, 5, 6, 7 series, X5, and some engine variations. Today, it's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, X1, X2, X3, X4, X5, X6, i3, i8 .....what else? I still prefer my good old days of BMW 330Ci, X5 V8, 535i, 650Ci.....  

Admittedly, when I first saw the 2002 BMW 7 series with the new Bangle design, I thought it was a weird looking thing. A space ship with weird iDrive control. A complete departure in a fundamentally conservative executive-class car world. Fast forward tod... 

BMW is technologically advanced and no question about their engines. Many automakers copied their iDrive concept and they had nice voice command features that actually works, like in my 535i and 650Ci. I always remember the ad where Lexus LS-460 was able ... 

And not only are cars getting more sophisticated with electronics, Mercedes-Benz now has a car with a special suspension that will even move to different positions in a corner on their new S-Class coupe. This is different from Magic Body Control, this is ...
