Good for BMW. I only wish they come up with better designs as they did design their cars pre Bangle era. I am a fan of BMW designs from early 1970s to the end of 1990s.

I like the new BMW designs except the new 3 series that I really find unattractive up front, but they all are far better than the Bangle era cars. However, like cars from rival brands such as Mercedes, the new BMW cars look a bit ordinary compared to their predeccessors. Maybe its the amount of plastic outside on the car now which makes these new designs quite plain and spartan and not so long lasting even from these prestige manufacturers. IMO among the BMW 5 series designs, the best were the E34 and E28 followed very closely by E39 which had the best BMW interior to date.

BMWs' brand equity is indeed immense. Regardless of whether consumers prefer earlier BMWs' or have an affinity for their newest products. The company appears to be well equipped for the future. There is no need to be concerned about the companys' future. In saying this, I am quite sure that the VW-Group will be a source of some headaches for the Munich company. The jury is still out on Daimler-Benz as the next 3-4 years will be extremely critical.
