How to improve BMW design:

1. Fire Bangle. Um, no, on second thought, chop off his hands and pry out is eyeballs with a fork. Make sure he never gets to design anything ever again.

2. Go back a few years when BMWs looked handsome, not deformed:

I must be in the minority.. I quite like all the newer BMW's. I think pretty much every single one of them looks good. I'd very much like to have a 1-series, the 3-series can be a little more dull but is pretty decent still, and the 5-series looks really good if you ask me. I absolutely love the Headlights! And there's a black 645i driving around the town i live in, and it's really nice.

I'd much prefer a new BMW 5 series than the last gen 5 series.. images/smilies/smile.gif

I do agree with you on that one. I wouldn't choose a 5-Series over an A6. They are simply too common.

And with your other comments, I think the 3 door 1-Series is quite nice, especially when in M spec, which ruins the reasons for having one; they get damn expensive.

The 3-Series is pretty nice in M spec as well. But again, too expensive.

I find the 6-Series less appealing, but like it none the less.

And the 7 Series I do not like that much. Much rather have an S-Class or A8.

BMW's problem is that they do charge quite a premium for the badge, which is a real downfall. But their design system isn't all that bad.

Best looking BMW of all times is of course the 2005 3 series. images/smilies/thumbup.gif

Only BMW i'd have, and only because it was so badass in TG.

^ I completely agree. That 3-series is probably the best looking car BMW ever made.

I think that's Bangle's problem in the first place, he has no hands or eyes. And I hear he is slightly retarded. Kinda like the Helen Keller or automobile design. But you know, BMW gotsta hire the retards to keep up on their diversity quota.

I'm glad you people agree with me! I was expecting to be flamed more than the Nazis in the bunker at the start of Saving Private Ryan

..and all very well Bartboy, but I don't see those Beemers everyday.

SuperStalin · December 24th, 2007, 10:57 PM

I'm beginning to wonder if the current BMW designers
ever looked at this car, and said "WOW!"

Or are they more impressed with this type of thing

Once, BMW used too look like an automotive version of Darth Vader,
now it looks like an automotive version of Darth Vader (from the prequels)

I still contest the statement that that 3-series was the best looking car BMW ever made.

I'd have to say that the original 6er was one of BMWs best looking cars ever.

To me, that 6er is capital B, M and W.
They need to return to the spirit of what made that
car so damn impressive in its time.
