1st gen had a funky wing, but that can be taken off.

post of early to mid 2000s BMWs imo

the pre lci all had front facias with headlights and hoods matching the rest of the car, but the facelift tried to make them all more modern by smoothing everything out, so you end up with sharp geometric shapes that have weird smooth headlights and bumpers

best example would be the e46 coupes pre lci and lci

Audis first single frame grills were just good design and heritage. I won’t pretend it started an arms race that led the industry down a bad path but it’s really an excellent design

Nah, facelift E46 mogs in most situations. Especially with the M-body kit 2.

Most of the facelifts that happened in the late 70s/early 80s when they ditched chrome bumpers and round lamps for ugly plastics and square lights.

Still looks great. I have no problem with that one.
>>
>>28916654
Agree
t. e46 facelift owner
But what you're describing is the problem with 90% of facelifts. The original car is designed with certain design language, in this case it's all rounded of corners, then the corporate face moves on and a new, angular, hard edged front end is glued to the now outdated car.

I find the facelift W212 Mercedes E-Class awful. The W212 was designed with sharp edges and creases, yet they rounded it all off with "organic" styling, gave it a generic set of headlights and also started to throw the awful big-star grille on instead of the classic radiator grille and hood star (still available, but rare and not on 99% of factory sold models).
I'd say this was the last decent era of MB before they entirely lost the plot.

Nta but I personally like the Clio facelift, though it might just be because I own one. I also think the Mk3 looked better post-facelift.

Biggest issue was that the lights look identical to an Audi TT. So at night when one comes up behind you, you don't know if you're about to get gaped or get your hair done.

It's not the worst they've ever done, but I just don't get why BMW is "evolving" their design by removing the signature angel eye design and going with the light design of a decade old Volkswagen instead.

That Golf looks better than the BMW and the TT.

Amen brother! Came here to say this! The facelift w212 is basically not a w212 anymore, its completely different car, not just design wise. Facelift has no soul anymore, pre facelift w212 was indeed truly the last great mercedes

lol literally no one with eyes called the 996 turbo ugly because its well proportioned

you underaged faggots don't know anything about cars or general design and every opinion you hold is something you heard online, wrongly, and parrot like the empty brained retards you are

The zenki, the way the car is supposed to look, only had a two year production run. For the facelift goyota gave the car mouthguard braces (middle in pic)
