Just pisses me off! I'm all for safety but just look at the pug-nose vertical
kidney grills of the F10... Could they have gone with something more classy
sporty.. more designer?
EU safety regulations are making cars look really ugly. Making fronts flat and
square does not make it safer -- if you get hit, you're gonna hurt no matter what, right?
Argh! I'm just ranting I guess.....

Seriously I do not understand? So instead of flying over the top of the car u get hit and go under the car? How is this better. How many fvcking EU morons are getting hit daily to even have to bring a law like this up? They should train europeans to look both ways before crossing, instead of ruining vehicles? Can someone shed some light on why and which precident brought this law up? Is there some wealthy turd in a coma over there w a gnarly high power attorney and friends in politics?
and what cars are this law going to apply to? Sedans only? is the new Ferrari California going to look like a buick regal in a couple years?
No offense to EU that aren't morons and know how to cross a street

I'm addressing BMW's apparent need to appease EU safety regulations more than
other companies such as Lambo/Ferrari/Maserati/Jag/etc...
All I'm saying is that they should be thinking of what we would like to
drive..... and not so much what the bureaucrats think/want....
