I agree. Ppl keep knocking bangle but I like his designs. He had to bring BMW in-line with the modern design language coming out in the early 2000s. I think both the E60 and E90 are timeless but also have a great driving feel

Other than a few of the "BangleButt" editions, I think BMW's have always looked good...great sport sedan styling. People google over Lambos, but I still prefer BMW style which wears well over time. I've owned five (so far), and my favorite was my first...1997 E36 M3...

Higher spec versions looked nicer, but I agree that the E60 was a total oddball. The pre-LCI E65 was also a swing and a miss. Otherwise I love the Bangle cars. They were also the final era of classic BMW driving dynamics.

Lulz. I'm not slamming you for having an opinion, even though it differs from mine - but this pic is so carefully cherry picked, it really can't prove anything. Frontal view (shows the least of the car), shiny gloss black (hides all the lines), lowered and murdered out (to hide even more of the car and make any design look mean) and indirect light/processing. Any car, no matter how it actually looks, will look 200% better under these circumstances

E60's and most of the Bangle era bmw's were pretty bad looking when new, so naturally they also don't look good aged either. Maybe if they didn't replace cars such as e39 and e46 Bangle era cars would have looked better. They had big shoes to fill in and didn't deliver.

With that being said, I have learned to love my e90 m3 over the last 4+ years. It did age well, but not as well as an e46 or e39 which are truly times less designs. S65 itself is in a diff category but that's not what this post is about.

I disagree that all e90/92s have aged well. Higher end models did age well, m3, 335is, any m pkg cars, etc. But early model 328s aged terrible, especially with their sunken in wheels. Most e46 325/328s look better today.

Though I like the fresh approach of the new oversized grill and how I feel it rids stalemate, I loved the look of my F10.

I am hunting for one now. My friend and I think that E30 M3 is nostalgic in its design and performance.

BMW jumped the shark with this x7 grille






At half the price I'd much rather have the new Explorer
