Motorhead

get this straight

first of all, liking a person's design is totally up to a person and the person's opinion

and, there is no such thing as small minded

unless u r talking abt a stagosaurs

[motorhead]

no really people are really complaning and complaning and complaning like shit about bangle but little do they know he supervised the e36 e46 3 series and the e39 5 series and the current crop the e65 seven series but that was all supervision the only car he actually designed by himself is the z4 which looks good i have to say - so whats wrong with him and their design - its just one or two new cars which are ugly(not to me) then they will learn and look at that - the current e80 5 series is way better than the e65 seven and the x3 - 1 series and the 6 series - they are all good lookers

[motorhead]
