Ha, that's too creepy! At one point earlier I was going to say that the E90 had hints of the E36 in it, but I figured I'd get flamed. Maybe I'm not as crazy as I thought.

I see some hints of the E36 in the E90 as well. The sharper lines remind me more of the E36 sedan.

He oversaw it all... hence the heat.

And he designed the Fiat Multipla. 'nuf said.
