BMW Concept Cars: 1991 and 1993 E1
-
as much as the styling was pretty blah and very 90s, at least the look fit the BMW brand.
thanks for sharing again, snap

I'm currently reading BMW: Driven and it's funny because they really don't make mention of these cars. I'm going to have to double back and see if I missed it somewhere but the book covers everything from the pre-world war's beginning, BMW and the Quandt families involvement in Nazi Germany up to the introduction of the e60 and the press disaster that it was.

......... the introduction of the e60 and the press disaster that it was.
Interesting. What was so bad with it? Initial reception of Bangle styling?
-
Yea, that was really it. The way that BMW chooses designs makes it mandatory that 3 options are given and the board chooses one for production. The bangle styling was an attempt to forward design and apparently it was the only design up to that point that caused negative reviews. Although i think the argument could be made that its held up well and did further their design story via cues in the e90 and further.

Bangle is often chastised for the e60 but most people dont realize that he was head of design starring in '92. That's not a bad run in my opinion.

He's also from Wausau.

Ban this man!
I think it looks pretty good as well and responds really well to cosmetic upgrades. The m5 looks slightly understated while giving you just enough to know its special.

My sister in law and her husband actually bought a house from the people that now live in his childhood home.
