I saw this page of BMW ’05 6-Series spy shots from the track-junkies mailing list. This site also has some “artist renderings” of the 6-series (whatever that means). Some speculated that it looked a bit like a Pontiac Grand Prix, but I rather like it myself. Of course, at $47,000, I won’t be buying one either way ;).
Codenamed E64, the all-new 6-Series convertible will likely be powered by a series of V-8s including a 272-hp 3.5-liter engine, with other options including a 333-hp 4.4-liter V-8, and a 231-hp 3.0-liter six to follow. […]
Want more spy shots? There’re plenty elsewhere on the site. In particular, the BMW ’05 1-Series also looks intriquing.
All models will be powered by longitudinally mounted four-cylinder in-line engines driving the rear wheels — typical BMW, but still unique in this class. Entry-level models will be equipped with a 1.6-liter, 90-hp engine. The uppermost vehicle in the range may get a 2.0-liter M version pushing 225 hp when it arrives sometime in 2005.
More than 150,000 units of the 1-series are expected to be built at BMW’s Regensburg (Germany) plant the first year, with the base model priced under $16,000. […]
Wow the BMW ’05 6-Series looks just like a Porsche 944 (late 80’s early 90 model).
I have always like BMW…but this body style has been done so many times. In fact my 1990 Rx7 Turbo II has a very similar body style.
Heck my RX7 has about a total of $6-7000 in it and its well over 300HP and handles like no other….thanks to the 50/50 ratio which was done because of the rotary engine’s size and placement ;)
The CIA had an opening for an assassin. After all of the background checks, interviews, and testing were done there were three finalists – two men and one woman. For the final test, the CIA agents took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun.
“We must know that you will follow your instructions, no matter what the circumstances. Inside this room you will find your wife sitting in a chair. You have to kill her.” The first man said. “You cant be serious. I could never shoot my wife!”The agent replies, “Then you?re not the right man for this job.”
The second man was given the same instructions. He took the gun and went into the room. All was quiet for about five minutes. Then the agent came out with tears in his eyes. “I tried, but I cant kill my wife.” The agent replies, “You dont have what it takes. Take your wife and go home.”
Finally, it was the womans turn. Only she was told to kill her husband. She took the gun and went into the room. Shots were heard, one shot after another. They heard screaming, crashing, banging on the walls. After a few minutes, all was quiet. The door opened slowly and there stood the woman. She wiped the sweat from her brow and said, “You guys didnt tell me the gun was loaded with blanks. So I had to beat him to death with the chair.”
