- The Roundel

I agree with every element except the first....if BMW was the only manufacturer with aerodynamic design, all other cars would look like the Scion xB....

Coronas are standard on the E90 as of 2009. Still like the xenons better though.

The grand prix's "kidney grilles" are a cheap attempt at "flattery", alas it will never project nearly as nicely as on a BMW....Fail

All Honda's have had some variation of vtec for the last 8 years now

yea i dont think that BMW's trademark are angel eyes, i def. think its the kidney grilles...

If you don't like Bangle why still buy one? Bimmers still look good. Yeah I'll take 135 over an Accord any day. As for the grilles, it isn't as original since it is simillar to Pontiacs. As for the coronas, yeah it is a treat. The kink isn't special anymore either. So the coronas is what stands appart from other cars when you see one from afar.
