They just want to talk about the Kith collab being indicative of BMW M's fall from grace when I happen to know 2 people who are buying the car as a result of the awareness that collab created.



How do they get there? Travel is so restricted within the EU. The fact is BMW M still has plenty of time before the car is really on sale to release such things. The people like me jumping on early allocations don't need to be sold all that hard.
The pandemic is a lame excuse. Get the cars out there and have the reviewers drive them locally. From what I see, there are already plenty of G8X located all around the world just waiting to be driven.

I have watched and read several dozen good/credible driving reviews of my next car, which was also released in the middle of the pandemic. And it is those reviews, praising how good of a drive it is, that swayed me over.
