You can honestly look at the M5 and not cream your pants? Sad, very sad.

After the Z4, I was was willing to give Chrissie another shot at designing a nice looking car. But this SUCKS. What the hell was wrong with classic BMW design? I suspect the current M5's residual value may start rising in a few years.

I think I've made my feelings on the E60 clear :a:
After NYIAS, we'll hop on a plane to Mr. Bangles house. I'll grab the rope, you bring the gun.

E46/E65/E66/E60/E85 all crap! the designs are no longer original.

Out of the line up I would only consider E46 M3 a good design. Not even a great design.

E60 just proves my point that bangle is designing for the younger crowd, who btw can't afford a 40K+ bmw. E46 is just barely tolerable. I can look at it now after nearly 3 years without puking, except for the latest updates.

BTW I'll buy you guys the plane tickets to mexico if you're successful in your "trip."

NIEN!!
NIEN!!



Yet another fine example that CHRISTOPHER BANGLE HAS NO TALENT and that EVERYTHING HE GETS HIS HANDS ON TURNS TO SH*T!
He has defiled a once-fine brand with the pentultimate expression of fugly. Design should not require someone to "get used to it", it either works or it does not.
Bangle's designs don't work.

Learn to use a dictionary.. ya know...
the big book with words innit.

Other appropriate adjectives would be:
profanum vuglus
egregious
horrid
despicable
yucky
blech
horf :barf:
ugh
icky
puky
drecky
nuga

BTW, penultimate means next to last. whadda I means is, if Bangle somehow manages something even worse after these models, BMW (I really really hope) will be done for...kaput..outtie...

I can hear it now...
"Time for fugly byebye!"

You typed 'pentultimate'. Perhaps you should learn to spell...you know...the thing where you type your posts so that everyone can understand them But I do agree with your points. People will still buy it based on its driving dynamics though, can't argue that.

whoopsie. spastic fingers.
tttooo muchh caffineneeee.

True, the car'll drive nicely. But I can't see myself ever getting over the bad design. I find it so offensively egotistical that Bangle does this shiet and then acts the way he does when interviewed...like he thinks he's hot.

The bwoy needa medication... quickly.
