E38 7 series, E39 M5 and E46 M3 are my top 3 of the best looking BMW's that they've created early 2000s was a golden age for BMW design unlike to with there XM,ix,1 series, M3/M4 🤢 the only good thing about the new ones is the performance and luxury and that's about it
Ugly plain ugly, BMW needs to fire their entire design department for exterior and interior. Audi shows how exterior design is done look at the e-Tron GT or RS eTron GT, they look gorgeous, Mercedes Benz with the EQS while exterior is questionable, the interior design, it is fantastic, BMW these days has neither.
@@humphrey09applebee61 Look up ANY pre-Bangle photoshoot of the BMWs. All look beautiful. No wonder they managed to combine art with their cars on special events, heck, even Warhol. Even some matured Bangle flame surfaces are cool, like the 5. And I understand why there was a heavy competition between the German big 3. But Jebus, the new BMWs look VULGAR as eff. It really is like the 2023 Velma spin-off of Scooby Doo. Vulgar. Try doing Warhol on that.
All because of Chinese market, they like that vulgar, showy exterior. It's a shame that more models can't have design like M5's which are badass. Also electric mercedes lineup looks like blob fish 🐟
This car is not just one of the prettiest BMW's ever made, but one of the best looking and sexiest cars ever. And thanks to this episode, i want one so badly. It has stolen the show of the Nissan and the Bentley.
That’s gotta be the most beautiful bmw I’ve seen. The proportionate grille, the headlights, the wide fenders 👌🏿. Nothing overly aggressive, overly styled, or overly done. That’s some top tier stuff right there.
BMW Japan handed me the keys to that exact same car for a couple of weeks when it first came out here and it was love at first sight. Then I got to drive it... and thrash it... and sleep in it. And fall in love with it. And then my heart was broken when I had to give the big badass brute of a girl back to the suits. One of BMW's best ever cars.
I wanted an M6 Grand Coupe for the longest time, but when I finally bought an M6, I ended up going for the 2dr coupe. I know I’m in the minority on this but I just feel the 2dr has more presence - it’s also much rarer. I still get thumbs up driving my 2016 model in 2023.
I don't think your in the minority the 2 door has more presence. I think its just that for a 4 door it looks so much better and sportier than other 4 doors do.
The F06, despite being completely based on the F10, is so much better looking it’s ridiculous. A sexy car through and through, and much better looking than its successor the G16/F93
Nah, my money is on either the CTS-V3 “Pedestal Edition” or the new Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing. Perfectly proportioned, manual transmission, and a bulletproof/instantaneous/supercharged LT4 V8. The tire size even starts with a “3” like God intended. What more could you want? 🤤
I have a 640d GC and I have always wanted one. I thought I would only have it a year or so but it looks so so awesome and is outrageously comfortable and powerful for a daily it’s not going anywhere!!
For some reason the Gran Coupe is so much more enjoyable to drive than the F10 it’s based on, the suspension and steering feel better. Also one of the best designs from that generation of bimmers.
Fell in love with this car from this episode and convinced the fam to buy one. Have never regretted it and the styling is timeless. Best looking bimmer ever.
I bought a 640d (IMO a little more elegant, little less muscular) and I've not gone a day in 2 months of ownership without going outside to look at it. They're absolutely stunning cars.
1:30 "Monaco to Munich Mile Muncher": that might be an allusion to the catalog for the E39 model, which had a photo essay "story" about the Prince of Bavaria driving down to Monaco to show the Prince of Monaco his new E39. As the text talked about the car, the photos showed prince leaving his castle, jetting down the Autobahn and Autostrada.
@@gixxerstig I think he means since bmw hp figures are underrated, factory crank hp stats are actually what the car is putting to the wheels because crank hp is much higher than usually stated
I have the 2013 640i gran coupe m-sport. This car is so incredible beautiful, elegant, fast and fun to drive. Every time i drive i see turning heads outside. There is no other car at this moment that i want for 30K. The m6 is even more awesome i agree.
I think this is one of the most underrated yet one of the most beautiful BMWs ever made. Admittedly, wasn't a huge fan right out of the gate (I preferred the Coupe) but MY GOD I fell in love with it so quickly! Then I saw one in real life in San Marino Blue and was instantly sold. Coincidentally, that was not too long after this episode had come out, which I also think is one of the best TG episodes (post-2010 at least). In my 'money no object dream car garage', I will have one of these. There won't be any Chirons or Koenigseggs but there will be an M6 Gran Coupe. P.S. - I think the scene order could've been better, with the car intro played first and then the following scenes played chronologically after. And I think the brake test and the full drag scene could've also been included in this. But a great, short and sweet highlight nonetheless!
@@alisaleh1000 ended up getting an f90 m5 comp 2020 my friend has a 2023 m3 comp xdrive and i have drove it alot and im still happy i went with f90 m5 besides i have a fully decked out n54 135i...
I have this car at 70k miles. I'm gonna hold on to it as long as I can. My gran coupe competition w carbon fiber roof. I daily drive my lucid so I don't put miles on it.
@@thezig2078 Fair enough. They should have gotten The Stig to lap all of them around the track, then the BMW would have beaten the Bentley, but still would have lost to the GTR, though by a marginal difference. And of course, it would have beaten the HSV ute.
I may be biased because I have a coupe but the coupe is just a little bit better than the grand coupe. If I had a family or ever needed to use the back seat I might feel differently.
Quality was good on the ‘80s quattroportes. Not so much on the biturbos. If you look for the quattroporte’s seams, there aren’t any because they are filled in. Something pretty much no one else does. Not an inexpensive thing…
This plays out like a fast and furious drag race, the race lasted 51 seconds? haha they would have all maxed out there cars. that runway must have been 5 miles long

One of the most sexy BMW's ever made. One of the most fantastic episodes of TopGear ever aired. The editing is out of this world 🙌
Top three for me.
I agree, I had one and it was amazing, beyond any BMW of its moment
It's not as disgusting as the newer ones with those awful grills but still not as beautiful as an E46 Coupe
To compensate for all that sexyness they made the XM.
@@PutsOnSneakers but it just is better looking than an e46
The M6 Gran Coupe is one of BMW's best looking car
Doesn't beat the E38 7 series though
E38 7 series, E39 M5 and E46 M3 are my top 3 of the best looking BMW's that they've created early 2000s was a golden age for BMW design unlike to with there XM,ix,1 series, M3/M4 🤢 the only good thing about the new ones is the performance and luxury and that's about it
E46's are fugly
It's one of best looking cars of any brand
This era of BMW was epic-looking. This, the M4, M3 and M2 were incredible pieces of aggressive German design. Shame how shit they've gotten nowadays.
It's incredible to see how far bmws design department has fallen since designing this car
Roblox M2, hitler stache grills, yeah they are a bit lost

Audi shows how exterior design is done look at the e-Tron GT or RS eTron GT, they look gorgeous, Mercedes Benz with the EQS while exterior is questionable, the interior design, it is fantastic, BMW these days has neither.

Man, that BMW is gorgeous! Honestly, all BMW sedans and coupes from around that time were great but that was just spectacular!
"I've got the Datsun" 😂😂 the level of disrespect in that statement
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
In my opinion the BMW M6 Gran Coupe is the most beautiful BMW ever made.

Ofc coupé over gc. I have 650i coupe. What a good car. Gives me everything i need from the car. No need to look for something else
I almost bought a 2014 m6. But 90k miles is a ticking bomb, any problem with yours so far?
@@jaymay7242 Mine’s been solid so far (knock on wood), then again I bought mine with only 16,000 miles on it, and it’s now at about 40,000.
I don't think your in the minority the 2 door has more presence. I think its just that for a 4 door it looks so much better and sportier than other 4 doors do.
The M6 gran coupe looks absolutely incredible. BMW will never be about to top that look ever again.

A sexy car through and through, and much better looking than its successor the G16/F93
This 6 series is most beautiful sedan ever made
nah that would be the the CLS the car where BMW took the inspiration of
Nah, my money is on either the CTS-V3 “Pedestal Edition” or the new Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing. Perfectly proportioned, manual transmission, and a bulletproof/instantaneous/supercharged LT4 V8. The tire size even starts with a “3” like God intended.
What more could you want? 🤤
Agreed! I rebuilt mine an when you disable all the things oh baby 🥺🥹🥹. Especially in the rainy (less wear more spin) streets of LA sublime drive times
I do like it but I prefer the E39 M5
Mark V Quattroporte
I have a 640d GC and I have always wanted one. I thought I would only have it a year or so but it looks so so awesome and is outrageously comfortable and powerful for a daily it’s not going anywhere!!
The M6 will forever be one of the most underrated cars
Everything about it is perfect
Is the succesor the M8 ?
Basically yes
" I've got the Dutsun" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Datsun

@@lol6434 Captain Slow. Or as the Italians call him Mr. Slowly
not a t all
The gtr has less Hp than the bmw and weighs more lol
@@sav7123 don’t know about weight but it’s awd so it should be able to create a decent size lead maybe the M6 reels it in at the end
What a machine you are is something I always say when I drive my 135i. BMW's are just something else! Regardless of their shitty reliability.
Performance cars require performance maintenance. Besides most BMWs before 2004-5 and after 2011-12 are decently reliable.
the new bmw are pretty reliables
Same here 335i
My z3 is reliable
135i are shite. Bad engine and slow
I have the exact same rims on my 3 series as Jeremy's M6, one of the best rim choices they are a treat to look at.
My favorite rims probably the ones on my E39 M5, haven't liked any of the M rims since
I have M6 gran coupe and I love it to death.
we don't care this isn't about you patting yourself on your back
Gonna get one soon
The grand coupe M6 amazing with they didn’t discontinue it
They didn’t. they just replaced the 6 with an 8
@@gixxerstig the M6 looks better than the M8, in my opinion.
@@MCorrigan definitely agree
My favourite M BMW ever
Oh look. A high powered BMW DOESN'T need a huge, ugly grill. ;)
They used the battlefield 3 theme at 1:35 XD

Fantastic M6!

Nice video. BMW M6 is one of the best BMW's
I love mr clarkson and love even more what he said about Princess Pinocchio Duchess of Lies
You know when the BMW gets traction it's game over
Love my m6 … best car ever
Love how JC calls it a Datsun lol
I always wanted one of those m5/m6 with the v10, a loud exhaust & a tunnel
This is a tt V8
That V10 that those M5s had in the 2000s is one of the most glorious sounds ever.
@@williamfischer3990 e60 its called the e60 generation my guy
