facelift on e46....

Just my opinion, but the new e46ci facelift is ruining the car. From the front it now looks like a damn Hyundai. Come on BMW, make your cars look sexy and unique, not like a cookie-cutter type car that is put together with rubber cement. (Well, they probably are.)
I also hate how they aren't making the interiors shifted toward the driver. It makes the driver not really "one with the car" like BMW's of past.
Anyone agree/disagree?

Sorry I posted this on e30 tech, but I feel most e30 drivers would have an opinion on this too. Just wanted to see the responses.

well in that case...i'm not sure that i like it at first glance, but then at first glance i hated the E65, despised teh Z4, and vomited at the M coupe. Now, i have all 3 of those cars hanging on the walls. Point being? BMW does a good job, and teh fact that their designs do grow on you show that they are indeed ahead of their time.

I like the new looks but i know what you mean about the center dash being more towards the driver. I like that better, like the way it's on the e30 and e34.
