And now for a Bangled 3 series.

v12 · 24th April 2004, 00:52

Here are exclusive pics of the Bangled 3 series. Now this is really gettin too much. Is Bangle tryin to take over the entire car design?? I guess all the Bangled BeeMs shud have a BM logo at the rear [like DC].

Maybe Bangle is the only designer who seems to be inspired, not by females but big muscular greek gods.

I mean look at that car dude, it's a true muscle car. Both from the inside as well as the outside.

The front section is "A...OK" with me. Now how about a rear view. That's where it usually gets bangled up.

Regards...

Problem is you soon begin to get tired of the looks once the initial novelty and shock value has worn off. Look at the classic BMWs and Mercs, also at the older american cars like corvettes and camaros and mustangs. They still look and are desirable. Not many people down the years would like to put in money for a Bangled Beemer.

i would put money and all my shares also into it!! i think it looks great...!

chris bangle only screwed up the 7 series i think. the new 5 series looks tight.... but resmebles the 3 series too much...!

Rehaan · 24th April 2004, 07:45

Hey Vishnu,

its great to have some1 here who actually likes the new 3 & 5

(for a change)
I dont really like the 3 & 5, but however do like the 7!! (& Z4 as opposed to z3)
I hate the rear of the 7&5 though...i wonder if bangle stuck with it on the 5 even after all the criticizm of the rear on the 7 just to make a point?

Exactly, Infact the 5 looks Stunning, but the rear just loses it for me. But some how its starting to grow on me, I hated the 7 initially but everytime I look at one now, I seem to say, well thats impressive, without a doubt. Ofcourse the "BackSide" will take some getting used to.. thing.
The 3 series is just like that, it'll take some getting used to, but I am sure over the years it'll grow on people. By the way v12, any rear images of this (new 3 series?)

aadix · 26th April 2004, 01:15

agree with rehaan!
by the way is the car in the pic, really a car???
this ones sure gonna go the zen classic way

v12 · 26th April 2004, 01:18

what i dont like abt the new BMWs are that the Kidneys have become bigger and broader.
And also the headlights have become longer. Looks like a long-grown moustache.

hey ithink the lights have actually grown a eye brow waddaya think!! the fronts look great.
rehaan the 5 series is great man... i mean just look at it ..if i looked at it any longer i would probably dump my gf for it... but hey my m5 cant cook so i guess i wont!

Rehaan · 26th April 2004, 03:41

Wow..i didnt know there were such big fans of the 5!...great.
Good to know that there are some tbhpians who arent revolted by the new styling.

and im sure once the M5 comes out.....and tests are run etc etc that will convert a whole lot of new people to loving the new 5 (even if they initially didnt like the sytling they will forget abt that becoz of the performance!!!)

Yes the new M5 is going to be Wicked, without a doubt. And the four exhaust pipes will make even the rear look awesome!

Even thought the new RS6 will have an underpowered Gallardo v10, I think M5 will be my Performance Luxury Car of the Decade!
And yes indeed I have no complaints to this 3 series's front. Its smashin'.

Kinetik · 26th April 2004, 12:53

i dunno y but somehow to me nearly all of chris bangles design look like some kinda fish .. or animal staring at u when looked from the front..

like a manta ray for some so u;ll end up buying a freaking aquarium of fishes in ur garage if u buy the BMW lineup .. lol but maybe its just a first impresion i get

Dippy · 26th April 2004, 16:32

The new M5 is absolutely stunning and infact the only one of the new breed of Beemers I like . I really cant wait for it to get on the its sure to be a stunner

Cheers

Guys,
I think the car looks GREAT

. The only 1 I hate is the 6. That looks ugly. The thing with Bangle's Designs are that they dont look that great on 2D Images but when u see them in the FLESH......whew they will blow you away. I just love the 3 and 5 Designs no matter what any1 says.
