But remember, the E36 had enclosed headlights back in 91
true. so it doesn't ALWAYS wait for the 7 but if you put an E46, 39 and 38 side by side by side, you would see the family resemblence quite clearly These days, it's just much easier to see.

Yeah definitely, same generation, same designer.

I mean it is like the current BMWs, you could clearly tell that they are all ugly .

By the way, back to the front pic of all the 3er. I think the E30 looks the best from the front. Definitely the most aggressive.

i like the new designs to be honest. I like how they've given a luxury sedan and aggressive stance, look (have you ever seen them at night with just the parking lights on? :shock: ) i really think BMW was going in the right direction with the styling. Now that the E90 is out, the lines of the 65, which people have not been the nicest in their criticism of, look like they have really come of age. I think adding the flamefront styling of the Z4 was genious. it really breaks up the monotony of the side panels.

Just give it 2 or 3 more years, they'll grow on you

The E30 does look good. IMO, though, the M3 was the more agressive looking due to it's sharp edged flares over the wheel arches. Only the E46M3GTR looks more intimidating. The E36M3 has probably been the most bland M3 created. but the E46 is my favorite

^ Yeah, I could see your point. We'll see in a couple of years. All of the old designs worn on very well over the years. We'll see if the new design holds up.

The Z4 is the only car I like with the new design them.

yeah, there's just something about a long nosed roadster that stirs something mischevious If you've driven the 3.0 then you really itch for an extra .2Liters and more ponies i would love to drive an S54 powered Z4.

I think the sexiest thing about that car is the ass end. The sharp wheel arches from the door back... Just imagine it with the trademark M flare..
