why can’t you just go back to making timeless cars with crisp, distinctive styling? What in the world is this front end? Was it designed by 25 people following drinks and sandwiches? This is overstyled, cluttered, and schizophrenic looking.
the new F30 BMW 3-series. I can’t even get myself to post more photos of it…
I grew up with BMW as my favourite marque; mainly because of my undying love for the E30 M3 when i was a young child. I’m not sure why I wasn’t like other children who loved Corvettes and Porsches, because I wasn’t. I still remember my parents buying me a radio controlled car when i was very young (9 or 10?), and I didn’t choose the red Porsche, i chose the dark grey E30 M3. I wish i still had that radio controlled car…
Anyways, BMW is a company who i’ve watched deteriorate in charm. They may still build very fast and potent automobiles—-but they leave me feeling numb. The modern BMW design is stale and very non-BMW in many ways. To be honest, the 1-series is the only BMW I am really a fan of—-and that is a great car to drive as well.
Here are 2 photos. One of all the 5-series and one of all the 3-series. The best ones are on the left side of the pictures.
Well, it’s a slippery slope downhill for BMW. Every generation of 3-series gets a *little* bit worse….Their identity is being lost completely, in my opinion. The E21 and E30 had alot of charisma—with the big twin kidney grille in the front. These days, it’s difficult to even SEE the twin kidneys on the grille. It looks more Pontiac than BMW.
BOOOO, BMW! You’re losing your class…
Check em out…in order, and see the steady decline in style:
