Default Why beemers are so great looking?

I mean, look at almost any beemer except maybe Bangle's ones 3series E30, E36, E46, 5series E34, 7series E32 they are nothing special, but so light and on the other side strong charisma.
Even stock ones on stock wheels looks great. Some Voodoo is here

BMWs were known for theur unique look - two headlights, dual kidney grills, kink in the rear window, sharp rear kink.

Then they got Bangle-ized.

I dont know what the reason is, but i agree with you...after passing some years, the beemers still look attractive

They're special cars, I guess. But we can say the same thing for Mercedes.

It's also about personal taste though.

I love BMWs, even all the Bangle ones.. there is just something that "do it" for me but well, I don't love BMW only

Ah and please, let's not start a Merc vs BMW war here

No war, make love

Even when you see that junky rusted 2.0 e34 passing you, you can still feel that charisma. Very interesting.

E190 is a nice car too + 600 Bear but the rest aint have that magic (I mean old models, new ones are beautiful). Maybe that E124 E-coupe have that charisma too, but must have atleast AMG wheels.

I'm not much of a fan of the newer BMW models. I prefer the Z8, E39, E34, previous 7 and the 8.

Agreed. I hope BMW has a change of ways and revamps the styling. Anyone seen the spyshots of the upcoming 3 series? And I have always like the M3, all three generations, but I may have to say no to the new one as far as styling is concerned.

I love the Bangle designed beemers, the 5 and 7-series stand out from the crowd and make a statement.
