Ever since the reincarnated BMW 6-series debuted in 2003 I just can’t seem to wrap my hands around it. It looked like a turtle, wasn’t particularly good at anything, and even though it was quite large it was still too small for four adults. The original 6-series debuted in 1976 and has styling that has held up remarkably well over the last 35 years. More importantly though, the original car was a drivers car. It was meant to evoke passion and get the driver excited about blasting down the autobahn or their favorite back country road. The new one though… not so much. It’s now 2011 and even though BMW has just revised the 6-series again, it still doesn’t do anything for me. Yes it has power, and yes it has all the bells and whistles, but is it exciting? Um… no. Inside Line recently put the new 650i through its paces and while it posted impressive numbers it just wasn’t exciting to watch. Sorry BMW…
