I am really digging on that new 6er. In black, that thing just looks badass. The rear really looks good from that 3/4 view.

..I dunno how long I can keep saying I hate the newer car designs..its also hypocritical of me to say I now like the e65 and I can see the new 6er growing to be "acceptable" one day.
You HAVE to have an e30 in your stable and add one of these dinosaur like cars for the daily or pimp tasks...
The saddest part about all these new car is they have really advanced motors and electronics; the dealers and shops will now have more money as the days of DIY are over for most of the newer cars

My question is, what sort of DIY jobs are necessary on these new vehicles? These motors are pretty much bulletproof. The valves are hydraulic, hence no adjustment. There's no distributor cap & rotor, so no replacement of that or need to adjust timing. There's a timing chain, so no belt to change. Most of the garbage rubber feeder hoses of ancient motors like the M20 & M30 are long since gone, so much less to crack & break, destroying the idle properties. Hell, the plugs they run in these motors are good for 80-100k easy, so you're practically only changing oil and coolant.
Hell, in my opinion, even OBDII is a good thing. 180 bucks gets you a port scanner & software, hook it up to a laptop, and you can run a full diagnostic check on the motor, and excellent tool. The old "oh, it affects performance mods" is utter BS, since for any serious mods (ie cams, headwork, higher comp pistons, etc) you would be reprogramming the ECU anyway. The only thing it would really effect would be the poser bolt on mods like intake & exhaust, which as we know don't do squat on these motors anyway.

You just wait charlie. When 10 years down the road and you pick up a used 6-er and wanna throw in that kewl (insert audio compression format here) playing headunit into a multiplexed gigabit trunk system. Next think you know the wire you spliced into that you thought was for the rear passenger speaker tells one of those hydro valves not to lift. ;)
Ahh, what the hell am I thinking. Its all bluetooth. You just throw the headunit in the trunk and the car jsut starts to use it.
He does have a point though, my local independent cant work on the new 7s because the scanner they need to read the engine costs $60k.Im now E30less.
