BMW's turn to more conservative shapes and styles after the departure of design head honcho Chris Bangle in early 2009, hasn't satisfied all bimmer fans. In fact, some BMW aficionados believe the company should further simplify the designs of its cars.
And even though the design of the new 3-Series saloon is more or less an evolution of the previous model, Carscoop reader Steph S. thinks that BMW's bread-and-butter saloon could do with a bit of a redo up front, which truth to be said, is the only new styling element that stands out in the car.
Here's what Steph told Carscoop:
"My name is Steph, and I represent that percent of conservative people who believe new 3er could have had different headlights. It's clear that BMW's intention was to realise a connection between future design line and actual models and I won't tell you that I dislike the result, but I think some simple detached headlights would have looked better.
As a support of this idea, I added those pics. I'm curious which version would people like better? What do you think?"
You can compare the retouched photos sent by Steph with the original pictures below.
Kudos to Steph for the images!
