As they seek to counter the "glowing emblem" offensive of Mercedes for obnoxious people, BMW turned to the one thing they had - the kidney grille.
"We didn't know what we were doing, we were all coked up and it seemed like a good idea at the time" said one former designer.

I used to be a big fan in the early 90's but BMW lost their way many years ago when they decided to put M badges on every car model. Worse, their motorcycles have exhibited the same trend.
Boring, overwrought with tech that is prone to malfunctioning and interfering, and just not nice to look at anymore."timberridge is terminally vapid" -- a fortune cookie in Yueyang

Why do they even put blinkers on BMW anyway? The owners never use them.

I was dyed in the wool Bimmer fan through about '13 when they had to buy back our last X5. My e90 330i (with the old N/A engine) was one of my most favorite cars of all time.
Now I couldn't agree more. It's like a computer game programmer got a hold of the design team. The wheels, which used to be a BMW strong suit now look completely mismatched on virtually all of their vehicles.
M-everything.
Did we mention the grilles?
Plastic engine bits prone to failure.
Where's the iconic headlights?
As someone mentioned about their 4 series coupe recently, all the characteristic road feel has been sucked out of the cars, what used to be their defining trait.I still call it The Jake.

Dead on Bmills. A friend bought one of the pseudo-M's and was raving about how he loves the exhaust sound when he's accelerating. I felt compelled to break the news to him that it was "enhanced." He gave me a disappointed look and said he didn't even know it was a thing. I feel bad now.

e46 M3 was pretty great. Hell, e90 M3 was pretty great too with the V8 crammed in there.

We had a 2021 M5 Competition in the shop yesterday. I’m not a fan of the newer stuff but that thing was pretty bad ass.

If you want me to run a VIN, please post them here and not in my DMs. The DMs restrict character numbers and I cant send the full carfax.
