    I don't mind the style of this one too much, though it is a bit avant-garde and I generally find most Bimmer styling is pretty crappy. The worst of it came with that awful boot lid that is plainly designed to suit the US lack of sense of design and line.

    Best looking Bimmer was the old 3.0 CSI coupe back in the 80's, though it drove like a boat. I find most of them cramped little things inside for my size anyway, even the 5 series, and the finish doesn't suit the exhorbitant price tags.

    Anyway, reading the 'cars for sale' column in any weekend papers shows that BMW's are like fleas on the road - everyone trying to make a statement of 'individuality' and all just falling in to one big common crowd of people who are prepared to or are silly enough to pay a premium for a propeller badge, just for the name.

    I think the wheels are the New Pentagon, downsizing and cost cutting has obviously affected the US defence department

    Seriously though looks like the M1, which is their intention. I don't mind it but would probably by something different if I had the money

    It was styled as an M1, the last of which was in the 70's? and it was styled with a nod to the old-skool styling blending with new. Does a good job of that, I say. Looks like it means business.

    I'd get one...

    Then no one would want to steal it. How ever people might try to burn it a bit
