If the main criteria is 'change' and 'standing out' then what's the point in having a artist and/or designer. Drive around in a clown suit, buy a $100k watch you can flash at people and let a child design your car. They'll come up with something crazy.
So sad to see people's approach to cars boil down to "but I want to look good and show people I have new stuff" rather than seeking non-compromising innovation and beauty. If that's the case, BMW are giving people what they want and deserve.
As a car enthusiast it pains me when I see people take out unmanageable finance agreements or constantly seek the next 'new' thing because they're scared of missing out and/or want to posture to everyone around them and gain likes, approval and kudos. That's not what cars are for people, but that's human nature I guess. Shame it's so unhealthy.

I couldn't care less what other people might think about my car.
I wanted an M3, I get my M3.
First I wanted the F80 (that's the one I really have fallen in love with) but they stopped producing and finding one in good conditions is nearly impossible here in Switzerland as they get "tuned" like sh** and mistreated.
So the G80 came out. I like the grill in person (on pictures it's a nono) and it's a hell of a car regarding tech and engine.
So I ordered one.
p.s. here in Switzerland People tend to call you a douche if you drive a BMW.
And also here: I SO don't care
I wanted an MT Sport Sedan. Ze M3 it is !
*edit*
Also I don't give a **** if it's the newest or whatever, I just wanted a new car because I love the experience of ordering one and getting it. I plan to keep it quiet long and prefer to have warranty and so on.
But I get your point, it's the same with iPhone. Some people always want the newest, just to feel special. It's idiotic, but everyone as he likes it. I use my stuff as long as they work.
