[BMWCSRegistry] BMW's new Concept CS

[dndharrold at sbcglobal.net]

A true story from a few years ago.  In a parking lot from 100 feet I saw the distinctive tush of a new silver sedan.  My first impression was that they are taking a new direction, sportier but still an improvement over previous styling (for geezers only).  Then I got closer and saw the ID badge, and realized I was not looking at a Toyota Avalon but the new 530i.  My thoughts changed to.....what have they done!!!???  

The E39 was a hard act to follow, as I felt that design with the Sport Package to be the perfect large sedan.  But regardless, the board went with Bangle and flame surfacing, and must have felt the need for a change in direction.  While the newer styling does not suit most of us in this forum, there are plenty on the road in these parts (SLO/Santa Maria).  The question is which way they go from here, as there is too much similarity  with Asian manufacturers at this point.

  For Bangle the car is a combo of romance and sex appeal.  I'd love to know what makes his bloomers tight. Well, maybe I don't. No wonder his designs have elicited hoots of derision and scorn. The car looks like a high end Scion mated with a stretch Tiburon. As romantic and sexy as a chamber pot.

  they obviously have no clue what the true CS heritage is - 4 doors?  Can you believe that grille?
