I just can't stand the Z4.....and to think that the Z3 and the M-coupe are no more.....just makes me think..."JUST HOW FAR UP YOUR *** CAN YOU GET YOUR HEAD?!?!" well to me....its obvious that over in Germany at the BMW headquarters....you can get it up there PRETTY damn far!

I have a buddy with a Z3 with the M option....the big 6....that little sucker is AWSOME!!!....and for a hatch....to me....the M-coupe is the top of the line.....there is a guy out where I work that has one.....I would LOVE one of those for my TOY.....

I just went to BMWs website to check out the Z4 again. All I can say is wow... Wow, how do they make such an awesome car look so ugly. The side looks like it's dented in, the headlights remind me of the 2003 cavalier headlights... Very strangely shaped, they look retarded (literally). The taillights are ok, but the trunk area curls upwards in from the sides. Looks a little strange, but somewhat nicely compared to the front and the sides.

The 7 series isn't all that bad. The headlights are blah, but thank god they didn't dent in the ******* sides like on the Z4. The rear is ugly... Again the trunk area pops up from the sides in the rear... Dunno what they're trying to accomplish there.

The 7 series would be just as elegant as it always has been without the rear AT LEAST. The new headlights could go too. Still not as bad as the Z4. Come now, the sides are dented in!!!!

I was jsut thinking the same thing watching a commerical for the Z4 last night. The new 7-series has grown on me, but that Z is just awful. They just better not carry that styling theme over to the 3 and 5 series.

ok on a second look on the 7 series

the front looks awesome...I like it....kinda carries on the traditional BMW look...kinda....

but the rear was all done wrong....

i wouldn't mind the front end on the 3 and 5 series...but the rear has to be definately changed.....definately.....

i still can't grow onto the Z4

At first, when I saw the new 7 series in pictures I thought it was ugly, but then I changed my mind when I saw it in person, it's so impressive in real life that it kinda grows on you... I love it now, well, the rear does look a litle weird. As far as the z4, I like it better than the z3 but I want to see it in person before I make an opinion.

Apparently, BMW unhappy with thoroughly disgusting customers with just the 7-series and the Z4, has come up with its fugliest car yet...the new 5-series.

those are prototypes.

(actually, they are the "let's try to hide the way the car looks so the public won't know what we are doing" eye lids)

I want to share my 2 cents about this as well. When I first saw the pics of 7-series, I thought what the hell? I even e-mail BMW and told them how ugly their car looked. Though, my opinion have changed since I saw the car on the street many times. You really have to see it for your self. As for Z4, I liked it as soon as I saw the production version, though it is a very uniquely styled car. The new 5-series, we are just going to have to wait and see, because we can only make it out so much from all that camo the cars are covered with. Though we cannot do anything about, because even the 6-series coupe and convertible are in the same styling theme. Plus, I preffer BMW performance over the looks of the car, as long as it does not look like Asstek!

Actually, those 5-series prototypes might not look too bad. The taillights don't appear to have the awkward shape of the 7-series.

I'm really digging the Z4. Edgy, and aggressive. I think it's a great looking car.

The new 7 series, however, has got to be one of the ugliest designs in a LONG time. What is with that ***?? Reminds me of the old Caddy DeVilles with the "pregnant" trunk lid and saggy butt.

Too bad such a wonderfully engineered car has to wrapped in such UGLY sheetmetal. It's like that girl we all know who is cool as hell, but you only wish she wasn't so fugly so that you wouldn't mind being seen with her......
