I love that look

That'd be sick if they actually made something like that. I'd be the first good looking BMW in ages

BMW used to look classy across the board with a few even looking sexy. Now? They almost make the Aztec look good

IDK, looks like a giant someone stepped on the front end?
That aggressive look sort of brings a doberman to mind too, but that's just me.

Current 335i coupe looks great. What's the problem?

Id say the problem would be that... they dont look great.

I think the new BMWs just have too many weird looking lines... and the 3-series looks a little bit girly in person. Lookswise i dont think the E92 M3 comes anywhere near the E46.

That for sure isn't the worst of the bunch, but its still not as good as it could be. Lights on the front and rear look a more than a little retarded, and alot of the lines just don't give that "classy" feel BMW used to have. I hate the rear end on them as well.

I'm sure some people think they look alright, but they sure as hell don't do it for me anymore.

Just so we're all clear, I don't mean to imply they're bad cars. I've driven a newer 328 and its a great piece of engineering. Just... ugly
