I'm not a big fan of convertibles but I think 911 beats both of them in looks.

Now i can safley say that the SL looks absoultely gorgeous and the 6er looks soo old next to it and the Porsche is just amazing with it's classic design but i'd love to see more changes in the future.

Love the SL

This has to be one of the dumbest compros I've ever seen.... shame on Autobild.

Why pin a top end more expensive Carrera versus the low-end SL/6er range ?! What's the point?!

I thought an SL350 was blasphemy, then Mercedes went on to release the SL280.

The 6-series has aged really well, I think it still look very special in this company.

The 6 is definitely showing its age. The interior is pretty ugly too. The SL looks a little weird from certain angles...

I can't believe how old some of these first era Bangle BMWs are starting to look already.

Re: Autobild: facelift SL 350 vs 997 S vs 630i - 02-07-2008, 11:23 AM

Oh yeah? That does not surprise me, they already looked very old when just released...

I'm really looking forward the next generations of all these Beemers, with CS inspiration, because all the Beemers from this Bangle&Co era... well I guess you all know what I'm thinking of them

Anyway, here the choice is hard.

The Porsche looks stunning, as usual. However I prefer the 911 in coupe, to have the typical windows and shape.

And the SL... honestly I can't decide before having seen the car IRL. In pics it looks gorgeous from certain angles, a bit less from others...

I will reserve my judgment untill then.
