Sorry Red, the new MB front end was out before the new BMW 3/4. And I didn't suggest a "rip-off" in any case. All I said was "looked like". Zadjali's post further proves my point.
Besides, it's generally nonsense to believe any OEM rips-off any other's styling, especially when the cars come out in close proximity time-wise. The amount of time it takes to style, design, develop, tool, build and validate a new vehicle or even an LCI precludes this. While imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, it is typically frowned upon in the automotive industry as it can be construed as an admission of inferiority. However, sometimes when stylists move around, their themes move with them.
