Chris Bangle Bungles another Bimmer

[tjts1]

You have awful, awful taste, you know that? The e39, e38, and e36 are terrible, bland designs. All of the present cars are light years beyond the mid ninties boxlike atrocities. The E39 is a jellybean, and the E36/E38 might as well be Japanese.

Designwise, anything from the baroque angel coupes to the Neue Klasse sedans, up to the late 70's sixers & e12s are some of the most attractive cars. The Z3 & Z4 coupes are nice, and the current E92 coupes look excellent.

WTF are you talking about? I didn't say anything about the E36. This is more evidence that Bangle fans are visually impaired. ;)

The only thing left to say is thank god he is gone. I'm looking forward to see what BMW has in store 3-5 years from now.

Yeah, you're right, in 3-5 years they will reintroduce boxy cars and produce a reincarnation of the E30. I CAN'T FUCKING WAIT EITHER!!!! VAN HOOYDONK 4 PRESZZ!!!

You're an idiot.

please no....

Has it ever occurred to most of you people that are constantly bitching about Bangle's designs that you are CLEARLY not their targeted demographic?

You try to talk sense into kids who can't read? Brave man.

[nando]

do people really dislike the Z4 that much? I always thought it was a much better looking car than the Z3, and the Z4 M couple is well.. unbelievably badass.

and anyway, bangle didn't actually pen most of those designs in the first place..

Thats a loud and clear fuck you too buddy

If he approved the designs, that makes him more guilty than the designer himself. I'm sure he has a bright future in kitchenware design. I'm sure you guys are going to be buying up that stuff hand over fist.

As for all the Bangle fan boys around here...

[TDE30]

Bangle fanbois or not, at least we know who designed the cars. You just hear Bangle in a sentence and you automatically think that he's the guy who designs ugly BMW's. You are a bandwagon jumper, you are one of many, but your idiocy reaches new levels previously unheard of in the R3V General Discussion subforum.

[Charlie]

So, you rag on the innovative designs such as the Z3 & Z4, as well as cars like the E92 & E65 which have set the bar for a number of manufacturers to copy, but hold this



up as what looks good?

Pretty much blows your arguments to hell man.



I mean, really. Sports car vs middle managment 4 door sedan?

for myself there isn't a BMW that truly inspires me at this point, which saddens me in a way because I love BMW as a brand. If I had to choose I would say the E92 is the best of the bunch right now, but I wouldn't buy one.

If you were going to buy a brand new mid-size sedan, SUV and roadster tomorrow, what would you buy? Just curious to see what you consider to be beautiful, modern styling since you think BMW is god-awful.

[norcalE30]

^^^ E92 M3... Land Rover Sport... Weissman (sp?) coupe


but seriously...i think BMWs as a whole are selling more than ever. which means Bangle is obviously a brilliant designer/supervisor. just because a cult of people who loves 80s car styling (myself included) dont approve of his designs doesnt mean he sucks

i for one love the new direction. BMWs are supposed to draw peoples attention. the E36 and E39 look just like every other commuter car out there
