Default as for buying BMWs...

take a look at the next-generation BMW 3-series.

everybody cried up and down about Bangle design being too radical that the new 3 series has been neutered design-wise.

ironically, it has a sloping greenhouse just like the early-mid 90s civic coupes. lol.

It's way too rounded in the front and back for my taste. Looks a lot like the Z4.

I hate bangle designs. Those cars are absolute garbage, when it comes to styling. I also don't like the fact that these new bimmers give u a very limited road feel (much like MB that feels like an old man's car). Don't even get me started on reliability. 2004 was the last decent year for BMWs. My mechanic also told me that older euro cars were built much better then they are today.

I for one am not to much of a BMW fan. Everybody praises them for being of "Euro Quality" or some crap when the same issues that plauged 80' and 90's domestic cars plauged them also. Electrical issues are or where at one time a main source or problems for these car and they were for atleast a couple years ranked pretty far up there on the list of re-calls and known problems from new and slightly used models. How it is now I dont know because I am not a BMW fan and dont plan on buying one so i dont keep up with it.
