Couple things for you.
First, the red/black scale rates the particular car's reliability relative to the average of all cars reported on.
Where:
full red is much better than average
half red is better than average
no color is average
half black is worse than average
full black is much worse than average
Second, consider carefully that the '06 was the first year of a major redesign...historically not always a good thing. The '06 3-series reliability shows up without any backs at all, but it does have five neutral ratings for Electrical, Suspension, Body Hardware, Power Equipment, and Audio System; and this is for a cars only two years old! It will be interesting to see how this model "ages" in their rating system.
As far as the looks go, I know exactly what you mean...something odd about them. I saw one the other day and what popped into my head was that it looks dolphin like or like some kind of porpoise, not the pointy kind, but sort of blunt, dull, rounded, and plump yet streamlined. The 'dolphin grey' color is fitting too I guess. That's how I see 'em now, can't get the image out of my head. Oh well.
