Ugh...looks like a typical Bangle design... - BMW M3 (E46 M3) Message Board & Forum

...but with some softening in a few places at the last minute. To my eye the smooth E46/E24 C-pillar-to-body transition clashes awkwardly with the sharp belt-line crease. Ugly 5-series front end with too many cut lines, creases, curves, and angles. Wide, flat rear end looks Japanese. What a mess.
