2009 Updated BMW Bonnets - Thoughts?

BMW 6er Sport Package

IMHO, I'm not sure what BMW is trying to do with their refreshes. I'm referring to the new bonnet ridges on these cars. I think it looks phenomenal on the Z4M, but it looks too busy on the 3er & 6er. Of course, I'm probably biased because I've got an M...

Your thoughts?

Not sure on those to be honest. I quite like the smooth bonnets without the lines but I may be biased because I have the 3.0si!

Seems to be the standard approach to the facelifts. My X5 is the facelift, and also has "the lines" which the pre-facelift did not have.

Don't mind it on the 6 series, looks strangely odd on the 3 series, I hadn't noticed that before.

:scratchhead:

The problem with those two is the second set of ridges near the wings make the bonnet look too busy, best left on the Z4M IMO.
