hmmm… yeah, that grill is really irritating, I want to know who at GM thinks that looks good (it just makes all of their cars look the same/bland IMO) I’d buy one and go for a holden conversion asap reguardless, still a badass whip :tup: ---

No, they’ve been using them since the 1960’s, and it was no reflection on BMW. BUT the design is playyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyed out. Everything looks like a goddamn Grand Am now. In with the Holden conversion and a trunk lip spoiler - looks great. ---
