[ROVERNET - UK] Re: Grilled BM

[Stephen Beer]

I do think there are aesthetic definitions most can agree with defining 
beauty.
Proportion and purity of line contribute to that "timeless" good design.

Things go in and out of fashion but good design does not.
Bangles BMW bungling may be fashionable now because of good marketing 
(or God knows what) but I believe the fussy "flame surfaces" will be 
regarded in 20 years time the way I look at the clothes I wore in 1984 
(sheesh!). I'm a bit too old to wear the trendy stuff now -- and I 
would not drive a Bangle Bimmer -- but that Rover coupe I'd be proud to 
drive, grill included.
