Is it me, or is the Z4 just the ugliest BMW ever? Saw 1 toda

This could be the point where the aftermarket body kits "actually" improve the looks and value of the car. Has anyone seen a Z4 with a picnic bench rear wing and spider eye lights?

rear trunk lid is so much higher than the rest of the car that proportionally it doesn't look right, nor make sense. No matter where I stood, the rear lid looks it was grafted from another vehicle, sort of like Frankenstein.

...what they have done for years. That is branching out with new, more aggressive designs. They did it with the 02 and then the M1, the McLaren, the new 7, the Z3, the 6...etc, etc. BMW sets the standard for what a car should be and how it should drive. They don't look at the market and think, "What is going to sell for us." No, they decide how they want themselves to be presented and just do it...AGGRESSIVELY. The new designs by BMW are awesome. People will tell me my 02 is really "oddly shaped, but I really like it for some reason". Then I take them for a drive and they shit, "a Porsche for the family man"...the 02. That is because BMW builds cars that are different with the Driver in mind.

Awesome!

...I'll NEVER get a new Bimmer! It SUCKS!!! It looks like the single helixed, bastard offspring of a Hyundai Tiburon and Toyota Celica. How anyone can rave about such a asthetically stunted rolling atrocity is beyond me. And, as a designer of meat helmets and precious moments curio cabinets, my professional opinion is-it's vomit! For those of you who consider it "awesome" I would suggests a little time travel and look at the heritage that made BMW. The 328. The 507. The CSL. 2002s??? All the M-cars. These are beautiful, classic shapes that have evolved from careful, tasteful, engineering and design.

And as for the film short "Spank the Devil", who does BMW think they're fooling? Does BMW really think we will believe their re-worked Z-3 would beat a blown, 70s Trans-Am in a straight line race!?-driven by the Devil no less!!?? I found myself rooting for the prince of darkness rather than the center-piece they have piloting James Brown on some contrived adventure to reclaim the lost soul of someone who, willingly I might add, sold off his soul. Given the choice of which car I would rather have parked in my driveway-I'll take the Trans-Am. And although I feel that I may have been cosmically tricked into making that last statement (a Trans-Am Ugghh), I go on record as saying that the Z-4 will be remembered only as an embarrasement in a few short years. That said, I'm going to go have another pot of coffee and really get off the fence about the 745-Arghhhh!

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
