Whats the ugliest BMW Model ?

BMWChap · 07-19-2016, 07:17 AM

I know this will probably start a war..

but what BMW do you think is the ugliest, doesn't matter on Year/Series..

For me its the 1 series, that car is butt f£$k ugly as hell.

Z3 Coupe thing.. breadvan.

Basic Active Tourer has got to be up there with the i3 😉

SkyJawa · 07-19-2016, 07:32 AM

1 series used to be but the LCI isn't.

X4/6 or 2 series people carrier piles of shite.

I'm saying its not Gigi or the M2.

Probably the 2AT. However that's not supposed to be a looker. For a car that's supposed to look good...for me, controversially, the 6 series I think looks awkward from so many angles. Never been a huge fan. Its also terrible packaging for so little rear space if you don't have the huge 4.4L engine...why so long!?

X6. Contrived, fugly.

cesare87 · 07-19-2016, 07:58 AM

3gt

X6, however my wife thinks it's the best looking

isleaiw1 · 07-19-2016, 08:15 AM

X6
X4
2AT
either GT
1 series

basically, they should stick to saloons, estates and coupes - and normal SUVs.

JD6 · 07-19-2016, 08:15 AM

I think there is a lot of competition here - most BMWs are fairly ugly these days. The prettiest to me are the 4 Series Coupe (and the 440i M Sport with its twin pipes is the best of them), 6 Series Coupe and 6GC, although I agree with JustChris about the bizarrely small space for the size.

The 2 Series in all of its forms including the Coupe is amongst the worst for me. I just don't get it, but I can see I may be alone in not liking the 2 Coupe. The previous E model 1 Series was dreadful, but current one is OK. All of the X models are dogs apart from the X1, which has undergone a remarkable transformation since the previous model - wins the 'most improved' title I think! Don't get me started on the GTs...

Right, anyone left I haven't insulted

Saloons are nowhere near as good looking as the hearses?

Very true. The F30 just seems a little unfinished at the rear. A small lip spoiler helps, but I can't bring myself to fit something that is purely cosmetic.

JustChris · 07-19-2016, 08:39 AM

Here's a thought.....size and proportion of previous 3 coupes, saloons was perfect. Formed over a few decades.

In trying to please everyone, its now broken.

4 series/M4 a tad too long for me, not perfect.
2 series coupe/M2 a tad too stubby rear for me, not perfect.

Mate them, add (4+2)/2 = original 3 series coupe, shorter than a 4, longer than a 3 perfect.

Niche hunting is killing the looks.

Just my £0.02 worth.

simon the pieman · 07-19-2016, 08:50 AM

3 or 5 series GT. Who ever designed the rear needs a kick in the nuts.
Sorry to anyone who's got one.
X4 and X6 are not too far behind either.

Agree here mate, I had an E92 which I really liked but didn't consider the 4 because its proportions just seem a bit off compared to its forefather.
