For me, the most egregious part of the new 745i was the odd trunk and rear lights.
Sounds like BMW's scrambling to redesign the weird parts.
Bangle is being served notice.

Oh, I definitely agree. In fact, I had never particularly noticed the headlights before. But the trunk lid looked like the people who designed it weren't talking to the people who designed the rest of the car. The surfaces and lights on the lid panel just don't match those elsewhere on the rear end.
Yup. I like the part of the article that says, "BMW sources in Germany tell us that Bangle and his team have been hard at work restyling the car since moments after the reskinned 7 premiered to “glaringly negative” reaction at the 2001 Frankfurt show."

to me the kidney grills are like mustache.. BMWs all resemble Hitler's face somehow
Maybe thats why they don't want to help us get rid of the other Nazi in Iraq !! They are PO'd for making fun of the car.
What gets me is that the top dogs at BMW gave the green light to manufacture Bangle's mistake in the first place.
When the new 7 series first came out, it took me about 5 seconds to decide it was ugly.
Is it really that hard to come up with beautiful looking car? MB seems to be doing something right. (Except for the Maybach. That thing is ugly on the outside too)

Just got this week's autoweek magazine and they are reporting a redesign of the front and rear on the BMW 7 series after overwhelming critisism.
Apperently this is the fastest redesign in BMW history. <a href="http://www.autoweek.com/cat_content.mv?port_code=autoweek&cat_code=carnews&loc_code=index&content_code=02012541">CLICK HERE FOR FULL STORY</A>
Ironically the new 5 series looks a lot like the 7 and really does not look appealing at this time. <a href="http://www.autoweek.com/specials/galleries/BMW5spy/1.htm">Here are the spy pics</a>
