Better he destorys BENZ, than ruins the rest of BMW's already CRAP lineup!
Maybe someone can clean up his shittt!

Bigbore · 01-18-2004, 05:52 AM

do you guys actually think hes done bad? i mean i love the 7series, the Z4 is cool looking, new m5 is also cool. whats wrong with his decisions, he cant keep BMW looking the same forever!

Alezone · 01-18-2004, 06:59 AM

agree.

Soldo · 01-18-2004, 08:11 AM

IMO, anyone who likes the NEWER BMW's over the PREDECESSOR's is not a TRUE BMW enthusiast, the current lineup does have a few + sides to it, but compared to the ones before it it looks TERRIBLE!
I think this assshole has single handedly brought down BMW, they may be selling now, but they've lost there edge, and the competition will eat em up now!

Sh!t Randy, Ryan, Al, etc... did you remember seeing him by the BMW booth when we were there in Detroit? I remember seeing that guy and thinking.. "what a stupid beard"

What does that have to do with being a true BMW enthusiast, shouldnt a true enthusiast be behind any BMW no matter what, makes a lil more sense but it doesnt work out like that either. I look at it this way, other companies that have brought out new lines of cars compared to the new BMW's, BMW ALLL THE WAY, looks way better than other cars IMO.

I agree with the people who think the changes are needed and Bangle did not destory BMW. Car styles in general change, like how they are rounder in curves as compared to cars in the 90s. If BMW kept on making the E46 body, which is my fav, it would get boring and people would stop buying it because everyone has a E46.

Bigbore · 01-18-2004, 07:12 PM

yes i agree, i like the look of the old E30 to the new E46. Looks are arbitrary, people have differnet tastes. In any case what is tehre not to like about the new versions? More power, more comfort, more speed, stiffer chassis, better suspension, better tires, better everything. yeah, they are heavier, and so is evey other car on the market today.

Well anyway its only my opinion.

Yeah... I seen him!

Man if i only knew who he was.. i would have had a little chit chat with him!

crazyvadim · 01-19-2004, 09:43 AM

Isnt he done with BMW??

FastM3 · 01-19-2004, 04:30 PM

You guys need to give the guy a break. It's not whatever he says goes. All his designs are put in front of the company heads and they say if it's a go. If you don't like a design blame BMW, not him just him specifically.
