Beautiful. Oh!!! I can't wait to get one.

That guy ruined some beautiful cars. That one my be a little too slick for him to have designed.

I think you might be giving him to much credit, his next designs will look just like all his previous ones-



He has FUBARed BMW and I don't give a Sh** about their cars anymore, they are nothing but a hollow shell of a once great manufaturer taken over by bean counters who have hijacked the BMW name..... This is my street car, back when BMW's were real quality cars with timeless styling that didn't need to be explained.....

I don't know why he gets all the flack, I think this monstrosity came out before his time, the committee who designed it should be disbanded:

I'm with you... Many E36s, an E46 M3, few E39s, and still have my E39 M5. Can't quite get into the new ones E60? but a V10 could tempt me. Imo, the E36 and E39 were the best looking Bimmers.
