Ghey = new BMW rims

Are they trying to dethrone the golf/jetta/beetle crowd of their title?

No, I get it, they are given those owners a car to make them feel at home when it's time to upgrade.

Seriously though, I kinda like the car, but the wheels have to go.

The only one of Bangle's designs that really talk to me is the Z4. While lots of Z3 lovers hate it, I think the new Z4 is hot. But the rest of the redesigns I think are atrocious. Ah well.

I think it's hot... have you seen one in person? It really makes an impression when you see it first hand, rather than in a car rag.

There's a Bimmer dealer in my neighboring town. I went in there frequently over the summer and used to park my S among their gaggle of Z4s.

I just can't warm up to it, heffer. The cut lines on the side and the bulbous shape just don't do it for me. It's just taste, I guess. I did hear, though, that the German BMW market was up in arms over the 7-series and some folks were returning their cars because of the styling. I'm not sure if that's true.

Sorry, I think Bangle's designs are awful. I think that's a shame, especially in the case of the Z4. I always like the Z3.... Kind of like a modern Triumph TR-6, but the Z4 leaves me cold.

I saw my first one in person on the road yesterday afternoon. I gagged.
