Well as I mentioned before on this forum the new bimmers start to look more and more like Japanese cars... No look at the new 5-th series, the upper eyebrow in the lights, doesn't that remind you the Accordion? Or the 3 series compact... I guess they try to get closer desings cause Jap cars sell better? The same Accordion is the 1-st place selling in US in it's class(after pick-up tracks).
I don't know, I really like the design of e30 and e46's , e36s if they have some makeup...
I like the BMW because it has very classy and also CLASSIC style...
To me if I would have money to buy a brand new car by 2005, I would probably get a used e46 or lean towards other european cars (Audi has pretty nice designed cars lately, and they traditionally have excellent engeneering...) cause new BMW's keep dissapointing me.(or maybe I am already old and don't get the fresh futuristic ideas..
