I'm heartbroken. No, really From autonews.com:

I'm guessing something had to be done before the 3-series got completely screwed-up.

 

I'd like to get put into a Senior Executive Position for screwing up as well! Where do I go to get this done?

 

I just never saw his stuff as so bad, but I am obviously in the minority....

 

Whew! Of the "Bangle cars", the new 6 series is the only one I really like. It has its oddities, but overall I think the exterior is pretty beautiful. The Z4 is odd, and the 7 is just wrong. Every time I see a previous generation 7 series, I still turn my head. The new 5 isn't too hot either, imo. Exterior wise, the current and previous 3s, the previous two 5s, and the previous 7 series were great looking cars, imo. Worst of all are the interiors in some of these newer cars. I don't know if Bangle has anything to do with those or not, but the dual binnacle look is just wrong (5/6/7 series).

I wonder what future BMWs will look like...

 

I thought that was how it ususally works? If you do you're job right you get now where, where as if you screw up you get promoted away from the development process to lessen your impact?

 

That's good news, IMO. A few years ago I was just starting to notice how good new BMWs were looking. The M3 & M5 looked downright muscular. They had become some of the best looking cars on the market, to me at least. Then they hired Bangle and I have yet to see a new BMW since that I liked. Maybe they will go back to not looking like bloated origami figures.

 

I would have moved him to the unemployment line the minute I first laid eyes on the 7!

 

the 7 series is reallllly growing on me, starting to like it alot, with 20's yummie.

the new 5 series looks like a an accord, and the 3 series is still ok.

the new z4, yuck,

the old bmw's, like the mid to late 90's were looking good, the 5 series, the 7, yummie, loooked very muscular, now just like, yuck,
