Maybe Bangle set him up, in a Manchurian Candidate-style ploy.


If you like the 8-series, do a search on the M8, pretty interesting. Apparently the prototype was being stored somewhere waiting to be destoryed... wonder what happened to it.

I'm one of few that likes Bangle's designs. The new Z4 and next generation(from photos i've seen) 3 series look hot. also the 5 series is hot( i like how the turn signal is molded into the hood) normally the hood seperates from the headlights/turnsignal when you lift it up on the 5 series it's still got that thin eyebrow like turn signal on the hood
