Actually, the point was to resurrect a street version of the Le Mans car that A.J. Foyt and Gurney drove when they won. They did the retouching to make it comfortable for people to sit in it. If you think they are just ripping the old design, you are correct, thats why its called the GT, hence GT40. They actually did a lot more than retouching. Their point was to take on the Ferrari 360 Modena(since Henry Ford's dream to buy Ferrari was shattered). The frame and everything else has been rebuilt to take on the new Ferraris.

I much prefer Chris Bangle's new BMWs (Also an Art Center grad, btw). Wehn you look at a new BMW, you KNOW its a BMW. You KNOW that while some buyers may purchase them as status symbols, their mechanics and engineering is to be "the ultimate driving machine". Their performance has not dwindled, and finally their styling matches the attidude of the car. The Z4 is one of my favorite cars. POSSIBLY of all time even. But to be fair, I have a HUGE list of all-time favorites...
In conclusion, do you think Ferrari would change the next 575 Maranello to be a nostalgic representation of the historic 250 GTO? I mean they already have the same basic proporsions and a FR layout with V12. And the Maranello (and its future replacement) evoke the feeling of the GTO sometimes, but they don't COPY the old design and "update" it slightly. Ford couldn't do the same thing? Obviously not.

While the BMW Z4, 3 series and 7 series are alright, the 5 series makes me want to vomit and sh!t myself everytime I drive by one. It taints the necter brought on by the new lineup, and I would be embarassed to be seen in one. So much for my favorite mafia car (Black BMW 5 Series with Chrome 19s, tinted windows, smoked tail lights and a bada$$ motor). O well.

Wow, i couldn't agree less. IMO the Z4, 5, 6 are beatiful, the subtleties found only on those cars put the calibre and level of detail on competitor's cars to shame. The 3 is alright, but it was designed before the new flame surfacing took precident. The 7, being the first "new" styling attempt, but without the dynamic flame surfacing fails. Not because of shapes or anything, it all has to do with proportion. The proporsion of the headlights are not good, the front end is way too flat, the plan view needs to be curved a lot more, little tweaks on stuff like that, plus some dynamic surface plane interaction would go a long way to making the 7 looks a lot better. The Z4 was really the first production car with the current design theme and it paved the way for the rest of its lineup. The new 3 will be very very good, trust me (I have a teacher who works at Design Works, has worked on all the new BMW styling, and assures us (without giving classified info out to his students) that the new 3 will be no let down.
Like I said, BMWs exteriors finally match the feel and dynamics of their engineering.

I don't know...I think I want to throw daggers at Bangle. I don't really like his new cars. They're too...melted.
I liked the e30's and e36's, and the corresponding 5 series of those generations more then the new stuff. I also like the older stuff as well. The new cars just don't do it for me.

I DUnno, Parry, those generations did look good, but after being copied a lot by most other companies (they were benchmark cars of their respective seguements) their design grew bland on me. I do like E30 M3's and earlier ones. In fact, almost every M3 ever produced gives me a boner. Now, non-M models are doing it for me, too.
I think, being a designer (future professional), the new BMWs represent what we all wish we could get produced by other companies. Too many times great concepts turn into boring, bland, dull production cars. I mean look at the Z9 concept. It is almost exactly liek the new 6er. Some people like subdued, tame, understated design (like Vertex aero, lets say). F, i like BN Sports and Uras. The new BMWs are equivelant to that type of aero. (not literally of course, just in contex).

I hear you. I don't have anything against them, and I respect their quality and performance. I do like how they haven't been overly watered down, like you said. However, they just sorta fall into this "meh" category for me. I would rock one all over if you gave it to me, but I wouldn't throw down the money for one.
I just like oldish stuff I guess. The newest car I ever owned was a 92, lol.

However, I think the newer E46's look very good, except for the @ss end of the 7-Series.
Cant wait for GT4!!! E36 M3 should be in it, woohoo!!!!
