These days, though, I’m very much a BMW fan. Something happened to Mercedes in the interim, and they now strike me as a bit flashy. What’s with all those shiny highlights on the fascia, for one thing? The styling seems to have become fussy, the wheels have become a bit vulgar, and if I actually knew what it meant I’d say that a Benz has become a bit chavvy.
I like what’s been happening to BMW since I’ve been on Top Gear. That ‘flame surface’ styling that everyone got so worked up about now looks cool and modern, and the inside of a BMW has become tasteful and intelligent.
