Which one is the ugliest BMW ?

eddie269 · 07-07-2011, 02:18 AM

Z4 looks like it needs to lose some weight. But definitely the Bangle era of 5 series were ugly as hell.

It's not sexy and it sure isn't about the joy of driving - at least not if you still have your own teeth.

May be the best post so far of 2011!

i rreally hate the 5 GT... imho worst looking bmw

MrRoboto · 07-07-2011, 09:01 AM

I agree with the 5GT. Certainly not a fan of that one.

josephr25 · 07-07-2011, 09:13 AM

E46 compact. Never knew of it until I went to Europe and saw it for the first time. I thought somebody took a 318ti and tried to put an E46 front on it... until I saw a lot of them.

LION335i · 07-07-2011, 04:12 PM

Definitely the 5GT without a doubt...why tarnish the series? SMH

GregTheStig · 07-07-2011, 04:24 PM

5GT... but the new 1er hatch is a really close second.

Duttch · 07-10-2011, 06:52 AM

5GT i agree.

PS: this is a awesome car, maybe a bit unorthodox, but come on... give it a break:

it had potential untill it looked like a pope mobile

You're right. The E46 Compact is up there, but I'll still say the ugliest is the 5GT. It's just so "Un-BMW"

Surprised no ones said the pre-2011 X3. Those things with all their plastic look like complete shit.

Oh yeah, i forgot about the ones will all that plastic bullshit around it. I keep seeing a white one around without the plastic and it looks quite handsome. The corners of the headlights look really odd to me though

spanner1751 · 07-17-2011, 11:25 PM

Having just come from an E46, I think that the E46, especially the M3 version, is one of the best-looking BMWs ever. I like the current LCI E90 and E92. I even like the shape of the current X6 - I wish that BMW would make that style in a 1-series size.
I hate the previous 6-series. BMW took a beautiful profile and slapped a WTF-were-you-thinking rear end on it.
I don't care for the 1-series, or the European hatchback version. The X1 is also ugly.
The ugliest? I can't decide, there are so many.

IE92 · 07-18-2011, 01:03 AM

I cringe every time I see a pre-lci E65. They are an unmitigated disaster.

imbimmer · 07-18-2011, 01:12 PM

The ugliest winner has to be either the F20 1-Series or the 5GT.

G559 · 07-18-2011, 02:02 PM

5GT looks horrible, the 1 series is w/e.

X6 and the new 6 series are both really nice cars! Although I personally still like the 04-09 6 series much more than the new one.

I completely forgot about that one

Jay60642 · 07-22-2011, 05:01 PM

Having owned two E92s, I was going to disregard this thread because the coupe came up a couple times. One guy called it "feminine." Cars are meant to be driven and enjoyed, not to compensate for insecurities. Does this guy drive an X6 or Hummer?

Love the E92. Ugly vote goes to X6. My current ride--E89--has only come up once.
