Bye-bye to Bangle, the man who freshened BMW

Thank goodness, Maybe BMW's will start looking German again not like a Lexus. Not everyone likes fat butts.

Would the next non-Bangle model be the next-gen 7-Series then?

Taught in history? To show how arrogance is the downfall of many a great empire.

Bangle caused BMW to sit still and now everyone else is catching them.

BMW's look like Lexus, you guys wish. BMW's look like pieces of garbage. Probably the only reason the X5 went up in price this year is because it's the last year they can get a decent looking one before the crap X5 comes up.

The only smart thing Bangle did was leave the BMW crest alone, so all the tards would gravitate to it.

btw, the SC430 sure looks like it's got your Bangle butt, except it came out a few years earlier. Figures Bangle copies one of the ugliest cars out there, and BMW lets him do it.

I liked current BMWs, the 5er was my favorite car right up to the moment when i was buying a new car last year and bought the more expensive Audi A6.

I think the 7 series has some issues with design, its far from ugly, it just doesnt appeal to me, and the 1series has to lose 2 doors, but the rest of the range are straight on beautiful cars

Foxy,
More aggressive? They've rounded the corners off and now it looks like a tall Mini. The current X5 4.4is is aggressive.

You only think low end BMW's aren't cheap because you won't accept the fact that they are.

What kind of promotion lets you oversee everything, but do no designing (supposedly the reason why you were promted)? Even BMW now acknowledges, w/o admitting, that they were wrong.
