All I know is that I disliked the old styles (at least how homogenous they were) so I'm impressed that they changed the styling so much. I've spent a lot of time in the new 7, and I enjoy the styling a lot. I just hate the I-drive, and wouldn't get it almost souly for that reason.
The new 5 is a little more questionable, but at least it doesn't look like either the 7 or 3. Its a departure, but I'm impressed nonetheless.
And now they have the new 6. I've been eyeing this thing up for a while, and if some room opens up in my garage I might be adding this to my collection.
The Z4 is a much better design than the Z3. The original Z3 was a car that I could never understand why anyone would buy.
In fact, the only one of the new models that I have a problem with is the 3-series. Too stale of a design.
And as far as the 1-series goes, I'm not a big fan, but its a hatchback and I'm sure its designated for the European market, so I'll get to see it maybe two or three times in the next 10 years, and thats okay with me.
Design is all a matter of personal opinion. The good thing about these is if you don't like em, don't buy em. The company will get the message.
