Which BMW did I see today?

It looks taller than a standard 5? Don't get me started on the x6 either

I thought the X6 was ridiculous, but upon detailing one recently - they've really grown on me - they are such an improvement on the X5 its unreal, not only aesthetically either from what the owner tells me.

Pointless trivia: The GT exists really for the American market where it has now replaced the 5 Series Touring, which wont be offered in F10 form.

I noticed when i was out there that the americans dont really get estates do they.

Looks rather retarded to me.

I think it looks ridiculous as well. It's a shame as its a lovely car, the interior is fantastic and the folding tailgate arrangement is hugely practical.

What happened to Bangle? Was he forced out? Did he leave?

[TW]Fox · 3 Oct 2010 at 00:14

He quit a few years ago

They certainly used to when station wagons were all the rage as the family car. Then Dodge made their take on the MPV, and the wagon was pushed out of the picture.

Or they buy a big supertanker sized SUV.
