If you'll note, some of the worst "Bangle-isms" occurred on Hooydonk designs... the 6-series being one of the worst. Now Hooydonk is head of BMW design... be afraid...

Nothing. Less rear seat space. Less refined. Fuel eocnomy sucks with the automatics... and even with the manual, if you're getting a 318. Most "M-Sports" are merely badge-jobs that aren't really fast or particularly sporty.
Yeah, what i meant was his design philosophy which was implemented in the E90, E60, E63 and E65. Personally, I see that BMW's newest designs are going in the right direction as seen in the latest 3 series, which looks appropriately aggressive, IMHO.

And then again, the M-Sport the TS is getting is a 2005 325i M Sport! Now that's one car befitting of the M-Sport badge.
