The resemblance is pretty striking from the front. 👍

Always get the new SL confused with the G29 TBH. BMW (and MB) lacking imagination and making 'generic' looking cars IMHO.
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!

I was walking across a car park yesterday and there was a current 3/4 series parked next to an early E90, both nose out. Now I've always felt that the E90 was a retrograde step after the E46, and the facelift did replace almost the entire nose, but, by 'eck, the new one was catastrophically awful by comparison. Like that Merc it seemed to be a collision of a million ideas many shared with other makes.
