I still don't like the bangle butt.
Fair enough.
Personally it was never the 'Bangle Butt' that bothered me about the designs from that era. To this day I still find the silver 'stache on the pre-LCI E90/91 3 series and E6x 6 series one of the most objectionable styling decisions from BMW in the last few decades.
I'll admit, when the BMW Z9 concept showed up, I bought a copy of Auto Express with it on the cover, at about the same time there was an issue of Autocar with the Mercedes Vision SLR on the cover, and I do remember thinking that Mercedes were going to murder BMW in the styling department, though the cars ended up being two very different things.
