Happy Days! Goodbye, Bangle Butt.

Jalopnik has a good tribute to the mildly nauseating "style" of '00s BMWs.

But, at least, we knew where he was, and what he was doing.

Now, he could be anywhere designing anything.

Some of those BMW aren't very pretty, but you have to admit that the current 3 series E92 chassis, that he design is a beauty.

The E92 looks OK... because it got rid of most of Bangle's "signature" touches. It still falls vastly short of the simplicity and timelessness of the E30, E36, and E46 (to a lesser degree).
