I think that the 6er looks great, even better considering this one doesn't have the sport pack. But I think it's going to come second to the Porsche for me. A Porsche is a Porsche, while a BMW and Benz are a lot more common. |

That and the fact their their cars are the darlings of the market. Even when Porsche built those cheap interiors in the first Boxster and 996 the press loved them to death for other reasons. BMW, Audi and Mercedes wish they could have gotten away with such doings. That said even I would have a hard time chosing a 911 C4S Cabrio over a SL. There is something about that widebody on the Carrera 4 models that says sexy. Imagine what hand washing a 911 must be like! M
