[Closed] best looking BMW

The 3.0 CSL
[img] [/img]

The 3.5 csi for me.
[img] [/img]

Is that Street Hawk?

Anyway I give you.

[img] [/img]

Either the X1...
[img] [/img]

Or (seriously) the 2002...
[img] [/img]

[img] [/img]

...and for the sprog!..

E30 M3 Evo sport

S1000RR

Dammit, was going to say 2002 but as that's been taken......

[img] [/img]

[img] [/img]

Activee. Bmw obviously didn't agree.

I'm with tiggs on this one, I pass an M2 on the way to work most morning, just sat there at the side of the road like it's about to grab a passing Vauxhall like a crocodile grabs its lunch and eat it.

I was never much of a fan of BMWs but that M2 reminds me of the shoulders of a big Cat, when you catch a glimpse of them on the move and you see all the muscle under the skin. Toit, like a Tiger.

I'm not over-keen on most modern BMW's - good cars though they are. However, then you hits start putting up classics like the 2002 and CSL and they have always had a massive appeal...

You had it in the OP with the 850. (I could've sworn they did a coupe version but it seems I've made that up.)

The i8 is no scruff, mind.

Still time to edit that.

I like the M1

My Dad had one of these in this spec. Loved that car

Not sure what that is but that's stunning. The 3.0 CSL looks amazing too.

Not very exciting, but I've always liked the shape of the previous generation Z4 Coupes.

[img] [/img]

Z8 +1

Images do not do this car justice
335i xdrive touring - it looks like a flaming fighter jet (especially in blue).
[img] [/img]

found a blue one
[img] ?itok=J94PVr4K[/img]

[img] [/img]

I initially thought this looked odd, but grew to like it a great deal. I've been keen on the idea of a 2 seater estate ever since.

[img] [/img]

I agree the i8 looks pretty smart too - especially the interior.

It really doesn't.

R69S
[img] [/img]

328
[img] [/img]

Love this

[img] [/img]

But my favourite is the E34 M5

[img] [/img]

[img] [/img]

507

[img] [/img]

Still time to edit that.

What I meant was, I could've sworn one existed with a more fastback rear end rather than the slightly stepped saloon-y shape.

I like the M1

So do I. Though it does look a bit like the 850 had a torrid affair with a Renault Fuego.

[img] [/img]

[img] [/img]

[img] [/img]

Never really got the Z3 coupe until I saw this, kinda changed my mind about them.

[img] [/img]

The mighty Isetta:

[img] [/img]

Congrats to everyone who said 507: correct answer.

[img] [/img]

Are BMWs well known for being good looking though? I know that they make great cars to drive but I've always thought that they look a bit boxy, even when they are trying not to be! A bit like the rest of their German brethren. Alfa Romeo, though, is a company who know how to make a good looking car 🙂

Still a fan of these things, not that I'd ever buy one now.

[img] [/img]

But I did have one of these for a short time .. so I say this is my fave..

[img] [/img]

The 3.0 CSL looks amazing too.

Aye, that really does look special, until that point I always had a soft spot for an early 6 series.

Still think about buying a classic 6 but I feel like the actual experience of driving it will not be the same as the idea.

I've got my xdrive 3 tourer for day to day service (which I sadly take far too much care off, but I even used to polish the old bangers I drove years ago). I think I may look at the latest Z4 manual when the second had prices drop as a bit of a fun car when the wife and I are without the herberts. Kind of a future classic.

I thought I'd have a quick look for fun 😯 😯

Blimey!

249 K Euro.

I'd love a 3.0 CSL, but probably not at 249,000 euros.

I'd settle for an i8 instead!

Old BMW bikes look better than the new ones.

They're the conventionally handsome but unremarkable jock to the stunning prom queen that is an Alfa*

*insert your preferred pretty car here

335i xdrive touring - it looks like a flaming fighter jet (especially in blue).

it looks like a bog standard estate to me..

the z8 gets my vote

Motorbikes, hmmmm.. there are some very nice beeemers, but I like these new fangled "cafe racer" thingumybobs, and the boxer engined R's just look bang on.

[img] [/img]

[img] [/img]

Some lovely bikes and cars so far, but the correct answer is mine
[img] [/img]
1989 E30 325i Touring

The BMW batmobile(3.0CSL) is the winner for me especially in this colour.
[img] ?rev=2[/img]

All the modern ones look carp in comparison.

nothing screams "mid life crisis" more than Estoril Blue

That american keeps calling it a Coop, and he wears driving gloves...

It's all about context - no good just being able to look at it if it is sat somewhere boring in a garage...

Oh - and

nothing screams "mid life crisis" more than Estoril Blue

I think you'll find drug dealer red certainly does!

Not for everyone, I know.

Is that from the new Transformers movie?

That Grinnall doesn't belong either, regardless of the engine, coz Grinnall

BMW was founded 101 years ago today according to tinternet.
What do you think is the best looking BMW of all time?
It's got to be the K1:

Shudders... I'd forgotten that thing ever existied. Horrible, slab-sided monstrosity. Awful n crosswinds, top heavy, vile, buzzy, gutless engine... did I mention top heavy. I used to be a motorcycle journo and the editor of the mag had a K1 as a 'company car'. Every so often logistics would dictate that I had to ride it. I used to dread the prospect.

To be fair it was uglier in the flesh than on paper.

This one - great bike, beautiful, fairing worked really well. I owned a turquoise one

Not very exciting, but I've always liked the shape of the previous generation Z4 Coupes.

My Z4M looked exactly like that.

For me, the 507 and the Z8. I love that even today - almost 20 years later the cabin and dash of the Z8 still look fabulous.

The i8 simply because it makes me feel like I'm living in a sci fi film.

Alfa Romeo, though, is a company who know how to make a good looking car

Shall we put that myth to bed now?

Not their finest moment, it didn't work, bit of a disaster.

[img] [/img]

Just because they know how to doesn't mean that always do 😉

As posted a few times above, the E9 coupe is lovely.

Liking the new R9T Racer too

[img] [/img]

I bought a K1 when they first came out. I thought it was quite fugly.

The best motorbike was the R100R in black IMO. Everything sorted out, and well balanced, but I like the look of that R9T Racer^ although I can't manage the monkey pleasuring a coconut riding position anymore. Just paint it black and coach line it properly.

As for cars, they haven't made a good looking car since the 1950s sports car.

The late 70s M1 looks great but it does look like the result of Maserati/Lotus experiment

[b]It is deffo not this one:[/b]
[img] [/img]

Guy down my road has an M4 in Signal Green, which I think looks ****ing awesome (as a non BMW fan)

[img] [/img]

I also really like the i8. Had a drive of one in one of those experience day things, felt very much like a normal car but bloody quick. It's weird, nothing like any of the other cars I've driven in the same circumstances (R8, V12 Vantage, MP4-12c)

BMW Sunset......

Are you me? I could have written that word for word! 😀

I've always quite liked the compact for some reason....

[img] [/img]

But the 2002 Tii Turbo is the ultimate!

[img] [/img]

E46 CSL, purely for the way the rear arches sit around the rear wheels. Absolute design perfection!

[img] [/img]

[img] [/img]

R12 for me.
[img] [/img]

503 - Classy.
[img] [/img]

Maybe a 315?
[img] [/img]

I'm definitely getting old, because I'm absolutely loving boxer engined cafe racers..

Heh - love the Bike Shed's cocktails, too!

BMWs modify nicely

[img] [/img]

I feel their older cars were far more iconic; they seem to have lost their way in the last ten years or so though. Some of the new "M" models remind me of cars my mate used to design (on Need For Speed).

THese things still look good, even today.

Ohhh.. thanks for the Bike Shed link. Just around the corner from the Appt.
