I liked BMW design nomenclature when it was edgy without having 40 different angles/edges on every square foot of the car. I can only assume that this is a direct result of BMW hiring employees away from the Asian companies going back to the mass exodus of German employees starting in '03-04. The brand has not been the same since then and their focus has turned away from their core values in lieu of selling more volume. Now every new BMW design looks more and more like a Lexus/Infiniti product. At least ///M cars are still real BMW's...for now anyways.
