IMHO I can't stand the new BMW designs. Bangle is too "Edgey" for me.

If that is it, then it has to be the worst of the designs thus far.

Why? Why? Why?

....does BMW seem to have an obsession with that azz-end design?

....do all BMW's now look like the front ends and rear ends look like they were drawn in different locations without communication (Munich and Northern Mongolia?)?

....do they not take the hint that they got from former owners not buying the new 7, 6 and 5 Series and fire the clown that approves this...this...ugh...corporate image/design transformation?

The only new BMW that I think is designed well is the 6, all others are nasty, and keep getting worse.

Nevermind, just saw pics of the 6 rear (first time i've seen it), just as bad as the rest with the stupid box. I thought the 6 would be different because the front and sides are nice...guess not.

I really like the 2 and 4 but they are computer generated

Not the real thing. I am sure the real thing (by Bangle) will look like the 7 and 5 and Z4 crap. I used to be a former loyal BMW owner. I now think that the newer MBZ designs are much better lookers.

BMW should hire whoever did the computer generated pics for the 2 and 4. Just look at the real 1 pic vs the computer generated, The real one pales in comparison to the computer generated one.

The 2/4 series isn't that bad. I think the car that BMW messed up the most has to be either the 7 or the 5.

Is that red hatch the 1-series? That sounds like a good idea on paper, now let's hope they don't botch that either.

I kinda like the new BMW styling. I just don't like the interior fit and finish. The materials they use on the interior is just cheap. I sat in a 545 while the (salesperson was telling me that the quality of MB cars just wasn't what it use to be) and a plastic panel from the driver seat falls off. I hand it to her and she just puts it in her pocket hoping I would forget the incident. Yeah right.

Is that first picture a BMW or an RSX? What a bunch of ugly cars. BMW's used to be so nice... Now they make me gag when I see them.
