....of these. But, wow, what a motor. Makes a monaro look a bit tame.

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......

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  in Florida last year. I only realised that the Dodge & Charger 300C were the same car recently!  :-[  :y
