Too many times I've hrd "are you on bags" I'm not even on coilovers. I guess the H&R race springs settled nicely with the B8's

I like to watch the Valet/carwash fumble with the SMG until I have to go over there and show them how to use it.

You gotta admit, Bangle's edgy/flashy design was unlike previous BMWs. But because of it, the look still keeps it fresh after all these years. And the M-sport body kit/LCI lighting helps alot too!

I totally agree with you. The design has aged well, e60s still looks fresh.

I still get compliments all the time.... Just no more then 10 minutes ago I was sitting at Starbucks and some guy complimented my wheels.

My girl says she loves when we pull up in front of any spot (restaurant, club or even the mall) she feels like she is in a slow mo commercial as she is getting out slowly and if the wind is blowing forget it lol... I love that she still loves our car thats better then any compliment on the street in my opinion...

Well said, Mr. My lady loves my ride and her opinion matters most to me (well, other than my own )

Chris Bangle is easily the most influential car designer of the past 10 years. Go to any car dealer and you'll see endless copycat versions of idrive and the 'bangle butt'. Don't forget that Adrian Van Hooydonk had a big part in shaping BMWs in the 2000s. Their designs are edgy, timeless, and brilliant.
