The new BMW designer is on acid or something, he's going to drive the company into the ground.

old BMW styling >>>>>>>>>> new BMW styling.

Hey, let's add 2 pistons and 1000lbs and call it a day!

i would have to agree. the new "boxy" look is overplayed.

Chris Bangle? I think he's doing a good job, I like the new BMW's, and I really like the z4 and 6 series. The ones before were all starting to look the same IMO. It's an uphil battle for designers nowadays since cars are getting so big it's hard not to make them look like barges.

My favourites are the e30/e34 generation - I'd love to stick a big rude v8 in one
