I do like the square headlamps, but if they've come from a VW they'll have an appalling light dispersion pattern; American VW owners replace them whenever they get the chance.

BMW did square headlights for the E30. Looks oh so wrong.

It's weird, as soon as you put square lights on an E30 you notice how many curves there are all over the rest of the car. They don't get my vote simply because they stick out like four sore thumbs.

.... Hella did. :( It's actually more '70's than '80's and you know what they call the '70's - "the decade that taste forgot".
That looks is totally wrong - it wasn't even "right" in period. I hope that it isn't coming back, it's wrong on so many levels.

I don't know about the wide-body, but the thought of an S38 under the bonnet of a convertible is kind-of pant-wetting. :D
