Though now I actually do think X7 and LCI 7 grill looks "fitting", only took < 1 year vs I never liked E60 5 series... even today
Chris Bangle era was one of the best BMW design eras. Unlike this guy; he actually did great integrated design and focused on contours. This guy is going after bling and overstated nonsense. Bangle era stuff wasn't overstated it was subtly angulated and unique. Big big difference

The new BMW designs coming out look simply insecure and shout "look at me! Please!!". Not a good ethos.
Did you like it when it first came out? I hated all except 6 series and 3 series. Took me a looonnng time to get used to it. Yes e60 5 series doesn't look dated today but i still don't like it and when it first came out it was worse than the new M3 grill (I'm actually ok on that one go figure...)
