Default BMW is really getting ugly!

The 1series has never really been my favourite looking motor about but what have they done to it?



Terrible styling!

Is it actually a "new" model or just a facelift?

Looks lame at the front, they gave the X1 the same style, that one in the picture looks better than the ones off the advert though.

It reminds me of that Saab that had Dame Edna's spectacles at the front

Saw an olf H plate 325i 3 door earlier today - that looked like a proper Bimmer IMO.

That looks ok. The five door is, however, hideous

Like many modern cars; Getting more cartoonish with the front end styling by the day. I think this one is based on a Pokemon character.

I'm not a huge fan of the 5 GT, it's just a bit odd looking

I think there all look better with time. The e60 5 series m sport looks great now but 5 years ago looked terrible.
