I agree on Bangle and the cars from that time; absolutely UGLY; BMW has lost many loyal customers in those times.

Not only Sweden; whole EU is going into "that one has more, it's right to take it from him" with taxes and other "just" means. The Germans produce luxury, however more and more CEOs of big companies drive relatively cheap cars not to stand to public criticism. Funny, Germans live from expensive products and at the same time restrict and undermine the home market for them (so the money goes into stuff they don't produce).
Yup, it's a strange world sometimes
