Did Mercedes just copy BMW's styling with E63 AMG?
Just a little funny thing I noticed.
Mercedes previewed their new restyled 2014 E63 AMG today. And I thought something looks familiar. Look at the front bumper. You decide.

To be fair the rendering of the 4 series only came out recently, and I'm sure the E63AMG has been in the works since before then. You could also point out the LED fog light strip on the 4 series looks suspiciously like the current E class ones....
But yes, remarkabe similarity. |

I thought that but I am sure the e63 has been worked on for a while now before the 4 concept. Either way I think that is one sexy e63.

BM and MB have been at it for 3 decades already ....
the two companies have continuously been practicing in-breeding .... This time is no different... the use of LED light up front and the rear tail lights... all based and variation from the original angel eyes...

I dont think so, usually BMW is the one doing the copying.
M-B introduced the Crossover, others followed including BMW. M-B AMG cars, BMW's response...its own M division. 4 door coupe...grand coupe 4/6 series. M-B smart...BMW i line. |
