Someday, man. Someday. Damn that's hot. Not for everybody though, as you can see from reactions above.
I love BMW interiors.

The back end reminds me of a Honda Civic, or some of those less expensive cars, the rear door roof area, with its curved window, reminds me of a Jaguar. It's getting hard to make cars that don't borrow stying from other manufacturers. There's only so many ways you can design a box. Not bad, overall, but not my cup of tea. Sedans don't do much for me.

Why is there always money for war, but none for education?

Funny how BMW went from having some of the best-looking cars to some of the ugliest in less than 3 years...

You like the new interiors ? I think they are extremely ugly, even uglier than the outside of the new BMWs. They are so..."empty". The only "modern" design that works is Renault's design.

Bangle, flame effect, BMW.
The world would be a better place had they never appeared in the same sentence.
That man has a lot to answer for.

i actually think it's ok (exterior) .. not as bad as i feared ... the backlight no longer looks classy .. but it does look aggressive ... the only good point ... i like the older models (not the current) .. the one the m3 still looks like (i like that type of headlamp .. was it '00?

I agree. What are those designers thinking?

Well IIRC the last design he did himself was the Z8. Which is a beautiful car. But he is in charge of the design department and he did approve all these design, so he ought to be shot. Not fired, shot.

Yuck. Yuck. Yuck.
Although I didn't see a coupe version... may have to reserve judgement for the M.

Who is in charge of BMW rear-end styling? Shoot that guy.
I thought the Nissan Altima looked dorky, but this BMW is simply a badly done clone.
