This episode made me want this car so badly.

Top Gear Season 22 Episode 2 : Australia Special

[@ethanol1586]

It's incredible to see how far bmws design department has fallen since designing this car

[@humphrey09applebee61]

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.

[@magnuskallas]

Not to mention this sure as hell is not a Coupe, Grand or not.

[@magnuskallas]

@@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.

[@keydronk7091]

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 🐟

[@goodshoes07]

Saw one in the flesh today and now I want one! Beautiful

[@duckie250]

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 🙌

[@mbizozo6271]

Top three for me.

[@corneliusscipio777]

I agree, I had one and it was amazing, beyond any BMW of its moment

[@PutsOnSneakers]

It's not as disgusting as the newer ones with those awful grills but still not as beautiful as an E46 Coupe

[@MetalheadAndNerd]

To compensate for all that sexyness they made the XM.

[@t.3465]

@@PutsOnSneakers but it just is better looking than an e46

[@edim108]

Man, that BMW is gorgeous! Honestly, all BMW sedans and coupes from around that time were great but that was just spectacular!

[@MicroageHD]

The touring models are also great! Especially E39!

[@thegreat0220]

The M6 Gran Coupe is one of BMW's best looking car

[@drone_tours]

Doesn't beat the E38 7 series though

[@holden2260]

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

[@jonahbaha5227]

E46's are fugly

[@v8panther557]

It's one of best looking cars of any brand

[@tyler9703]

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.

[@asandasibiya2747]

"I've got the Datsun" 😂😂 the level of disrespect in that statement

[@CarQuizzical]

it is just a crappy datsun

[@Garf2O]

datsun probably has a better track record than nissan at this point tbh

[@dankmemer2774]

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.

[@sostenescarlos9721]

In my opinion the BMW M6 Gran Coupe is the most beautiful BMW ever made.

[@edheldude]

I saw an 850 CiA in metallic orange the other day and it was great.

[@nicknuggets369]

That would have been my thought as well an old 850 pop up headlights. Alot come to mind but m6 convertible is my favorite.

[@ashi55]

E39 m5 is better looking

[@nicolasgoncalvespereira655]

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.

[@nicknuggets369]

What i love about them is I rarely see them. Its allways the new x5 or x6 which are both gorgeous. Alot of m3’s on the road. So naturally the brilliance of a 6 series or M6 is very overlooked. I have a 645ci and 325i life's good. And both are broken down atm 😂😂😂

[@K24-Zink]

I got one and I am not joking you it is seriously fast. Over 100mph it's torque is lethal

[@sonnyblack0870]

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.

[@sammik3959]

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

[@jaymay7242]

I almost bought a 2014 m6. But 90k miles is a ticking bomb, any problem with yours so far?

[@sonnyblack0870]

@@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.

[@78cobra]

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.

[@DBrealmadrid9606]

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

[@JJ-pe1wy]

Had this exact model for about 7 years. Great reliable and fast car. Loved it. Zero issues and classic bmw looks

[@dretheman123]

The M6 gran coupe looks absolutely incredible. BMW will never be about to top that look ever again.

[@thespicepatel]

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!!

[@nimish2073]

This 6 series is most beautiful sedan ever made

[@mastodon5220]

nah that would be the the CLS the car where BMW took the inspiration of

[@TheBrianFlanagan]

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? 🤤

[@huh3144]

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

[@lqr824]

I do like it but I prefer the E39 M5

Mark V Quattroporte

[@foammace3643]

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.

[@rg6982]

The M6 will forever be one of the most underrated cars Everything about it is perfect

[@emmanuelmeysman820]

Is the succesor the M8 ?

[@gixxerstig]

Basically yes

[@Akiss]

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.

[@Alexgibbo5]

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.

[@zildog]

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.

[@tractorguy1994]

One of my favorite specials. Beautiful car

[@lqr824]

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.

[@MrWojas92]

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.

[@longtailgt]

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!
