i dont really like it at all. I have always liked bmw's and have owned one. i just dont like how the front ends are getting. the headlights are just ugly and the grills are loosing there look to me at least. the 2001's are the last year i liked. everything is getting to round.

yeah, the new designer blows ***, theres a petition to have him kicked out. if i remembered his name i would find the petition.

Chris Bangle, I think he's ok - he does get carried away and he made a mess of the 7-series, but I think he's done alright apart from that. Admitted the 5-series is touch and go, but the z4 is 20 times better looking than the z3, and the new 1-series looks great - not to mention other cars he drew - the gorgeous Fiat Coupe stands out in my memory.

Chris Bangle has his place.....and its not BMW.

These new cars look cool...('cept the 7 series......yeeesh.), but they're not Bimmers. They look almost Japanese (not a bad thing, mind you) whereas previous BMW's were distinctly German, and had progressive styling from one generation to the next. This new stuff is just too radical a change for the classically conservative BMW marque.
