Jeremy Clarkson BMW M6 gran coupe

[@ethanol1586]

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

[@Ken-no5ip]

Roblox M2, hitler stache grills, yeah they are a bit lost

[@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 🐟

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

[@v8panther557]

It's one of best looking cars of any brand

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.

[@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.

[@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.

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.

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.

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!
