BMW design cues....the coming storm?
It seems that the Bangle led "FAD" designs are catching up with BMW. The hallmark of German (really all) luxury makes was timeless design with excellent and well thought out engineering.
Read the linked article and tell me if this is or is not the future of the current designs of BMW:

Granted the new 5 series doesn't catch my eye at all... I do like the Z4, and the upcoming 1-series. The new E90, even though it looks similar to the 1-series and other bangle designs, doesn't do it for me either.
I honestly feel the Z4 looks great, a decent successor to the Z3. But going back to it's roots has drawbacks as well, cuz I personally think the Z8, which took most of it's design cues from the older BMW roadsters, looks F-uglier than any Bangle bungle.
