BMW Design Has Lost Its Mind

[djs]

I've owned some really nice BMWs, an 88 M5, an 02 M5, and an 06 Comp Pack M3 (IMHO, a beautiful, if underpowered car). Handsome cars, some better than others, but this? Major WTF were they thinking:

It's bad news when the nicest looking vehicle BMW makes is an SUV.

No argument about that here. Awful, just awful.

BMW "jumped the shark" after Bangel took charge of the design. Now they've got every single digit number (except for 0 - 9 is now being considered-) in their model line up- Confusing is an understatement- Have you guys seen the I3, holy fugly Batman !

I think it is pretty cool .....

I like it as well. I think this will do pretty well in the market.

Yeah, and why in the hell would you change the M3 coupe to an M4???? Dumb.

Looks like it belongs in the next "Cars" movie.

If they clean off the folded sheet metal on the fenders, it would pretty attractive.

I like it. Then again I like pretty much anything with fender flares.

+1. As long as they are properly filled with rubber. If not, they become an anathema.
