B6 vs B7 rear ends

Recommended Posts

I was driving behind a B6 today and wondered if my car looked as bland as the one I was following.

When I got home today I checked and it did. blush.gif

For first time I thought, "Eek - it's boring!"

I have since had a look at the pictures of the B7 rear end (thanks to RJGreen for the pic pinched from his gallery) and I have to say it is much, much nicer. OK I haven't got twin exhausts but even still, there is no comparison IMO.

What do you reckon?

I quite like the B7 rear-lights. Less white bits and nothing to hate about them really.

Not keen on the cheap plastic rear-valance on the B7 though. Its body coloured at least, but still looks cheap, just like the one on the B6 cab does.

The rear valance of the B6 s-line and B6 with OEM sport-kit look much better I reckon. 169144-ok.gif

I'm really undecided on this, on the avant the B6 is the one for me, but the saloon i think the B7 has the edge, something always niggled me with the B6 saloon rear end. Even if my little one hadn't influenced my decision for an Avant i would've got one anyway, or maybe decided on the cab, for me its the best looking Cabriolet on the road. notworthy.gif

I still cant make my mind up on the B7 at all, that front grill is taking its time to grow on me.

Still...at least the design isn't as radical as the whole BMW range (radical=omfg what did they do to the 5 series!!) UHOH7.GIF

I'd still go for the B7. I think it's the lights - the big white lens just looks dung.gif in comparison. The photochop Chav did turning the B6 lights red looks better but still not good enough for me.

The rear valance on the B7 is better IMO and if only they would put a proper boot spoiler on like the B6......... heart.gif

I've got the GmbH kit on mine, so with the extra valance and the bootlip spoiler, I think my B6 is still nicer, but I have to admit I'm warming quickly to the cleaner lines of the B7. I like how the lights look perfectly flat and part of the rear boot - if you know what I mean.

I hate to say it, but B6's without the spoiler are looking a little dated compared to the B7. crazy.gif
