Eew! To me, BMWs of that period were butt-ugly, except for the lovely 6 Series.
Which shows how much this is subjective.

Some people never like the new stuff. Not me. I think every new model BMW was
tremendously improved over the old. The exception is performance and styling
with the late 70s cars, but blame smog controls and everything in the 70s being
ugly for that. In every other way they were immensely better than before --
structure, refinement, comfort, ventilation, ergonomics, convenience,
durability, etc.
