It tends to get that way in Europe for some reason during the spring and summer months. I have a 20-mile drive to and from work, and the car gets peppered daily on this run now, especially on the drive home in the evenings.

Went out last summer for a run in a friend's M3, and the result of that is the shot below. Note the difference just between the leading edges and the rest of the bonet/hood. We actually had to slow down coz the windscreen wash/wipe could not keep up with the bugs hitting the screen. Then again, we were going at about 100mph

In addition to the wind tunnel testing, maybe BMW should come up with a bug-tunnel?
