I agree, looks like something you would find on a Daewoo or hyundai. Plus it takes away from the seamless look most new cars are going for.

haha Daewoo. I was thinking of getting a Daewoo a couple months back when they were having the buy one get one free sale. two daewoo's for like 200 bucks a month.

I"m really not feeling any of the designs that any of the car companies have come up with the past few years, including this BMW. I'll take the insides thought. Most car designs from the mid to late 90s were sweet.

yeah, that looks like an E36 skirt so I guess they haven't done that in a while. to be honest the E36 m3 has a couple things that make it look cheap anyways. i don't know why they elected not to paint their side moldings/handles to match the car. of course all of that changed w/ the e46 m3

yup, i think they went in the wrong direction styling wise from the old m5.

that car makes me wet.. the E39 was awfully badass. i got to drive one once when i worked at jake sweeney bmw when i was 16. i cant imagine what this one is like. shit, im gonna get a job at the local bmw dealership here so i can drive one. FYI, SMG is LAME. a little too much techno-headache inside that ride though. i wish it was simpler. no SMG, and no Idrive. as for chris bangle or whatever his name is, i think he has done a wonderful job. its just the new styles of wheels scare me. they need to just throw on 2 differnt wheel styles. the E39 5 sport wheels, and the old 7 sport wheels. only use those 2 styles.

ultimate bmw wheel - BBS LM

probably my favorite wheel ever made.

Assuming I get the E39 I'm probably going with either the staggered 7 series sport wheels or the BBS wheels...awesome!
