Spot on.
Not quite.

I participated back then on auto chat forums on the Web (like E46Fanatics) and auto Newsgroups/Usenet back then, and they were as active as today's forums. Newsgroups were un-moderated, so opinions were more extreme with swear words, cursing and flaming running rampant.

As for other social media, if you come out with an ugly design then you will open the gates of hell; but if you come out with a good design, it's the gates of heaven. BMW just came out on the wrong end.

As for this G87 design, I don't love it, it's OK at some angles not so good at other angles, but no show stoppers. Overall it doesn't have an beaver face - which is a win right there.
