That’s because black hides the ugliness.
A 4 series in black with a black grill doesn’t look terrible. A white 4 with the chrome grill looks like a butterfly is coming for you.
Right now the only BMWs I can stand to look at is the 5 and X5. I liked the X7 until the split headlight crap.
They need to fire Adrian Van Hooydonk. Admittedly, BMW needed to spice things up from the E36/39/38 era where all of the cars looked the same but in varying lengths. He did spice things up.
But in the 2000’s, the E65 7 series had the infamous Bangle Butt, named after Chris Bangle, the design director at the time. That car was and still is ugly. But what most didn’t know or care to know it is was the current BMW design director…VanHooyDonk that created the Bangle Butt. It was VanHooyDonk that designed most of the increasingly ugly cars since the mid 2000’s.
In fact do you know who designed the E46 which everyone loves? Chris Bangle
