Everyone made fun of the bangle design BMWs. Now, so many car companys are trying to copy the design, Lexus, Mercedes, Acura..etc...
Problem is there designs are not original like bangles were. So they all look botched compared to the original bangle designs. Its amazing how the E60 gets more and more enthusiasts as time goes buy, usually its the other way around.
Great forward thinking MR BANGLE...THANK YOU ...

Just got the latest Motor Trend, the 2006 new car issue. Brief summaries of all 2006/2007 models, each car gets a mini review and a final comment in bold caps. For the E60, they give it a positive summary, but the final bold caps comment is the interesting bit:

"OKAY BANGLE: YOU WERE RIGHT"

Thanks Chris, good job

BMW design is good.

The world did change then, to a much worse one. :thumbsdown:

Bandwagons come and go.

No matter how hard you try you end up on one - Jeremy Clarkson or the rest.
