Thats too cheap ::)....there must be something seriously wrong with it :y...think I'll stay with my meega for a while yet ;D ;D

I can get you a head up display for £50 and you could pretend..... :D

oooooooooh....im..thats.....i would....

I think it's ugly, and tacky inside, looks just like a cheap VW on that dash.......
Give me a cheap Elite any day... may not go as fast, but lets face it - 70mph max country's limit... yes it would be fun, but at what cost?
-
I've only ever seen one on Top Gear a while ago. As said before it seems too cheap. I'd sooner have a Monaro the one of them too, but I'll stick with the Omega for now

I must admit I think the 6 series is a seriously ugly car. Give me an old shape 635CSi any day of the week, or a 2002ti :-* BMW have lost their way big time.

Yep. Black plastic everywhere, punctuated only by the odd bit of fake carbon fibre!

yeah, 149 MPH will do me nicely for now! And at a fraction of the cost....

You could get a Monaro and bolt a supercharger on for 1/3 of that price......
-
Great car but hand on heart I would opt for the Monaro everytime.
:y
-
monaro is far better BMW i know i'm going to upset some people with this but carn't stand the things,as jeremy clarkson says qoute"built by germans,driven by tossers" :yand to bloody expensive for parts :yand to add monaro will be more fun and easy to live with,won't need as bigger bank balance,and i bet these more room in monaro being as platform base is holden/omega yes! ;D
-
i have no doubt that in engineering terms it would knock the spots off a monaro, but then it is almost twice the price.
But there is nothng that makes it stand out from the normal car, maybe being understated is what it is mean to be, but for me the M cars were all about being that liitle bit different, look at the E30 M3, an icon of a car that is instantly recognisable and yeet so different from it's little brothers.
Personlly i think BMW has lots its way, it is a well marketed brand now, 20 years ago it was respected for making cars that repesented quality, durability and germaanic design, yes they were dear, and with that came the knowledge that not every tom dick and harry had one, today that are as common as the likes of a Focus or Mondeo.
Would i have a Monaro, possibly not, excellent value and well rated by top gear, i would go for the 300C Chrysler

You & me too! They'e fantastic looking cars - got massive road pressence. I'm wondering if I could pass a 6.1 V8 off as a 2.7 V6 to SWMBO :y :y :y
I saw & liked the Dodge Charger (http://www.dodge.com/en/charger/features/exterior.html) in Florida last year. I only realised that the Dodge & Charger 300C were the same car recently! :-[ :y
-
love the 300 C did you know its platform is based on a old merc e class,so that must be a good thing :y :y :y

Markjay? Where sre you? They're talking about your
pimpmobile car :D

Actually, I've been away... health problems in the family but all is well now :y
As for the 300C, yes I do like it very much, though when I mentioned it to friend of mine who lives in Canada he was horrified by the idea, he said this was a serious pimpmobil and no respectable citizen would even dream of being seen in one... :(
-
The whole 300C idea never seems to go away for me.
Took one out for a test drive last weekend, i am currently trying to blag a weekend loan of one and a decent discount on a new CRD model.
Inital though was that it was huge, and the windows are tiny, it was like looking through a letterbox!! the drive was nice, managed to get the a$$ end out, seems very controllable and had a lot of power with a very broad range of torque
-
Sorry I think the car is as ugly as sin.
I'll stick with a Monaro.... preferably the Vxr 500! 8-)

The beauty of an open forum is that everyone has a vaild opinon....
would consider a monaro but SWMBO will not do 2 door cars :-/
