Nope. But they were quite poor before and now they're better. That's all, and nowhere did I say they were great either.
BMW have stagnated design wise in the last 5 years, in comparison to the generations before.
Majority of the good designs in the BMW range were pretty much done before his time. Nothing is bad, all just a bit predictable. All IMHO of course, and absolutely all entirely subjective opinion at that.
Of all the criteria that sells BMW cars- design, brand image, performance, driving dynamics and technology etc. Then design is one of the weakest differentiators at the moment. Not week per se, but not class leading in its respective markets like the others.
