Hey all,
I was surfing the pics of the new M5 again and thought I'd make a swipe at a change for the horrible Bangle trunk line.. Now my p-shop skills are pretty bad, so excuse the roughness...

Yes, the original lines coming off the rear window and wheel well ruin the visual flow of the design. Much better IMO.
Bangle's an alien. That is the only explanation for some of the things he does to trunks.

Cool, thanks guys!
Yeah, it amazes me how much a relatively simple design change can alter the flow of the whole car...

wow, i never realized how big of a change that is, with the bangle trunk it looks too clutered with all those lines, but with the original designs it is more "clean" lookin and better too.

It's also funny how most of these new designs look better in black. Most of the line dissappear. Look at the new RX8 in black - muuuuch better IMO.

If the quarter panel and the trunk are the same part, it won't work. You should draw the other cuts.

Yeah I know... I just couldn't get the new line for trunk to look right (damn you crappy p-shop skills!).. Just imagine E36, or E39, or E38 type trunk lines on top... :cool:
Um, anybody else notice that all the E3* chassis designations are all really good looking, solid designs, while almost all the other numbers are not (excepting the E46)? :D

Nothing can be better than the M5 thats out now, it's gotta be the meanest looking M5 beast.
The new 5s are just too bulky...

Bangle has this thing for triangles. Look at the Z4, its full of them. Please god, strike him down before he does more harm.:bawl
Much better. Looks more German again and less Japanese.... you should have Bangle's job!

The M5 that is out right now is badass. But I'm not too fond of the next body style M5, but it doesn't look bad at all from the front....

PS: Bangle, YOU are an ass monkey. All who employ you are anus sucking neanderthals. This is what a decent car looks like. Please chop off both your hands, poke out both of your eyes and report to the AIDs ward of your local men's correctional facility. In short, burn in hell, you piece of dog shit. We clear?

Too bad ALL Mercedes look exactly the same. I don't think Mercedes styling is that great either. I like the futuristic look. The same old stuff gets boring... It doesn't matter if "it works". It's the year 2003, we need a car that looks like it can fly, because according to old movies, we should have flying cars! :mad:

As bad as the exteriors are (I'm almost starting to accept them), the interiors are the real monstrosities. To me they don't look at all like the interior of a "driver's car." They look like my father's Oldsmobile. Ick.

Here's my shot at it. I rounded the lights to look similar to the old 5 series and gave it a E30 M3 style deck lid.

Ha, it's funny how ugly that car is, it needs to be written off into a wall at 200mph. The current M5 is a badass beast, they should just dash the new V10 in that, add MINOR revisions if any, (such as the new braking system) and boom, wicked car... It's funny how the Maxima got ooglie, now the M5 is getting the same ass raping...

I like bangles designs... especially the new M5... mnnn tasty...
THis is something they could do without too much work, while still keeping with the triangle theme as it has taken over the rest of the car.
Sorry for the rush job, but you get the idea

That car is a BEAST!!! Too bad MB has such poor quality these days. Many people with MANY problems.
And nice PS with the M5.
Seth, lets hope the M4 looks something like your PS pic.

So I go to the dealership today and spot my first 5er on the lot. I thought it might look better in person, but as it turns out, it looks just as horrid. My long friend and salesman at Cutter Motors of Santa Barbara walks up to me looking like he just got hit by a semi truck. We start to talking, and he finally gets around to telling me that since the Bangle designs have come in (new 7 series, new 5 series), sales have dropped and he is having a HELL of a time selling cars. Poor guy. :( F*** you Chris Bangle. :(

Yea Z4 sales were terrible, and the new 7 series sales are terrible, and the new 5 series is doing AWFUL so far.
Whoever said the new 5 interior is not driver oriented, you are damn right its not. I sat in it, and the interior reminds me of a cadillac. :bawl

You are right guys. E39 and E46 are the last of the REAL BMWs.
The new ones will be bought by tasteless, rich people who know nothing about BMW.
How is BMW aware of the "anti Chris Bangle" petition?
Do they know that it exists?

I would say E36 was the last real 3 series, E46 looks a bit bloated. I think even the roundel magazine expresses dislike for the new designs. I don't see how it still continues.
oh yeah, while the photochop looks good, the lack of lines really brings out the insane height of the rear deck.

As soon as Bangle ruins the 3...He's gone...Hopefully BMW will survive.
And from what I last heard the MZ4 was cancelled due to poor 3.0 Z4 sales..

Those photoshops look really good. I think the headlights are more of a problem than the tail lights. Its got eye lashes.

it just plainly looks like a japanes car.
its unfixable... the more you mess with it the worse it gets...

guyz, im one of the biggest bangle haters. but belive it or not, you gotta accept the fact that he sold already more 7 series and Z4's that they thought he would.
i see the new 7's as much as a 350z or any other car!
his cars are popular to the everyday crowd, not to the small bmw inthusiast community which im sure BMW doesnt really give a fuck about!

I definately think the cars need body colored moldings...I don't like the way the black molding cut the car up but there DEFINATELY needs to be something in there to cut it up a but. I tihnk I saw someone pshop some moldings onto the 5 and it made it look 10000000000x better

10-13-2003, 10:09 PM
yeah someone ps moldings onto this 7 please!
