Never been a fan of the six. It's beautiful, easily in the top 5 shark-nosed BMW's, but, along with the 8-series, came across as a bit of a gentleman's beachfront cruiser/German pastiche of a lumpen yank tank. A 2-door 7-Series. Doesn't really fit the BMW ethos (or what it used to represent anyway).
