i LOVE beamers! best cars in the world and i want one so bad! my mom has an 06 325i
but this car is ugly as SIN but i have hated the whole Z line since i came out, i am not a fan of roadsters or little 2 door cars to begin with, but this is a cross between a roaster and a hatchback, ugly.

Prettier than any current gen BMW, uglier than all previous gen BWM's, not too shabby I guess :)

This is a "beemer" or "beamer".
And this, is a bimmer.

spell it how you want, neither word actually exists lol, and the latter would be how you might pronounce it in german but not in english so beamer it is :)

What's with the Nissan Sentra/240/Silvia back-end? The whole car looks very un-BMW compared to current models.

I love it. Elegant and menacing. It looks like German cars used to look - not an ounce of fat, not a single line or crease that doesn't need to be there. But I'm sure BMW's stylists will find a way to i love you it up royally between now and production. They haven't failed ion many years.

edit: They can lose the stupid gullwing doors though.

No, ask anyone who knows about BMWs, and it's that way even in English.
