This looks loads better than the new 3 saloon.

Still a little bit gutted the 328i and smaller engines are all 4 cylinders now. I still really like the sound & character of the boggo' straight sixes even if they're sh*t on fuel and throw out too many CO2s.

Will it suffer from offset pedals like in the 1 and 3 series?  5 is ok; more room i guess.

How many manuals will they sell though?

true but as a 3 year old car, it probably going to be £18K (much more sensible) and then £450 for a tyre becomes pricey, altho you could do what loads of BM owners do and ditch the run flats  :happy2:

A fair amount; it's replacing the 3 series coup

I realise that, but BMW have predicted selling far more automatic F30s than manuals, and they've been pretty transparent about who they think will be their biggest market. Why do you think they've changed the naming convention?

I've always associated the 3 series coupe with drivers in their 20's/30's, the 6 series caters for the older gens with 90%+ auto boxes.  Anywho, it's likely to be a great seller with those looks alone.

Haha, that just means more people want to sell their manual cars, probably so they can buy an automatic :driver:
