In comparison to the melted-in-the-sun school of car design we're experiencing now, then yes, pre 1990's BMWs will look aggressive. But then again, so do all cars before 1990 - B2 VW Passat looks pissed off, Peugeot 304 looks irked, and an Austin Princess would smash out your teeth and nick your wallet if it was ever able to move. Rover SD1? Came with an Asbo as standard.

nice. always like sd1's. that one needs to lose the chrome and silver roof though.

i thought it was the light... now you mention it, it's all i can see... i like the wheels and that front spoiler though

Front splitter thing needs to be black but apart from that

what about e30 vs audi a3?

No contest One's a bland repmobile devoid of any soul or character while the other's an iconic classic!

Absolutely.

Then again the blobby design of modern cars is more about pedestrian impact rules that style (afaik). You just can't get away with angular front these days, gotta have space between the bonnet and engine, can't have forward hinged bonnets, etc etc blah blah.

I'm sure I'd appreciate it if I was hit by a modern car though.

"urgh, ewwww, Ive got Nissan on me!" If the crumple zones and amorphous curves saved my life, I'd still die from shame.

Lol what an awesome quote

totally agree with this topic. All the new cars look bubbly and 'user-friendly'

Broke an SD1 a couple of years back for the engine (which turned out to be fooked) that was back when YOU paid a scrappy to take your car away

See my sig for angry beemer
