This car looks freaking awesome!

I've been following this message board very very closely the past couple of weeks and finally decided I shoudl start posting.

I'm using number 4, its my favorite picture, just one thing really really really bothers me...

How could BMW leave that strip of black platic along the lower side of the doors? this is something that has been phased out of design for a WHILE now, not even the X3 has it! I understand its an evolutionary design but come on! is there any way to remove it i guess??

I just think it adds a lot of years to the cars looks... and don't get me started on the fact that there are more black plastic bumpers on this car than there were on the E53
