Passed by this while walking to my apartment for lunch:

1000


Want.



I keep flip flopping on the idea of having a sensible daily driver and then an impractical but sporty weekend/track car vs the "do it all" car that is both fast and agile as well as luxurious and practical.

What say you all?


I thought you already had your answer.

I like the one car gt do it all concept, the abuse is frustrating unless you have a true collector car. Cars are meant to be driven and I'm sticking with it unless we're talking gt3 concept which I would still drive the **** out of just not every day.

Think I might pick up a 6 gran coupe next year and to be honest I think the sport body kit looks better than the M6GC (though I prefer the engine obviously).

We're in agreement on this. I believe in driving my cars anywhere and everywhere possible. I like luxury and high performance so a car that fits both criteria works well for me.

I just don't like the idea of putting junk miles on a good car - not the service requirements or anything, just that I don't like too much wear and tear for such unimportant drives. The 6GC is beautiful, best BMW made in the past decade. I actually prefer the standard non-M sport kit on that car as the venting on the front bumper is lower visually, and the rear M-sport bumper is rather ugly IMO. I feel like the M-sport kit isn't detailed enough for bodywork that is quite intricate - the standard bumpers are just the right balance.

drove the F-type S and V8 yesterday. V8 will most likely be the next car unless I can swing a used bull.

my top 3 most beautiful cars sold today, non exotic, are:
F type
6GC
RS5

Anxious to see what car maker is the first to release the IOS integration. Will be in the market for a new car by then.

I doubt the regular 6 or GC will be collectible, so I wouldn't care to be honest and BMW has a good residual value, so....

I'm the exact opposite, I find the stock bumpers bland and not aggressive enough.


Recently got this big baby.

700


Beautiful.

What color?

The "one vehicle does it all" is why I'll probably never get out of an SUV.

hampton is the new green frog

don't think we need more pics of a base cayenne bro but congrats

re: the mileage thing, they're not junk miles if you've enjoyed driving them

gc is one of the few cars bmw makes that looks good in both stock and m trim, i'd be content with this but not the color and shadowline
