Adam - good point on the useless mini-bumpers. Some of the more idiotic DOT regulations must drive foreign automakers nuts.



That said - the new Euro standards for 'pedestrian safety' sure are making the front ends of BMWs and Mercs look kinda strange.

At least our useless bumperetts are not as ugly as many of the era. I rest my case.......

I bowed to peer pressure and put the euro side markers on. The bumperettes never really bothered me much though. They're definitely a more successful integration of bogus US bureaucratic requirements than on a lot of other European cars:

   

Ruined!

Probably in the minority on this but I prefer the car with bumberettes and dislike the monochrome euro lenses as well..
