Why car firms shouldn't design computers

If Mesh hadn't told us that BMW was involved, we'd never have known. The computer doesn't have kidney-shaped grilles, a Hofmeister kink or any other bits of BMW design DNA. It's just a weirdly shaped PC case with a few glowing bits on it. BMW may have made some seriously stupid-looking cars in recent years, but compared to the Mesh they're masterpieces of restraint.
