Nope, that's where you got it wrong. It's the hipster crowd that wants more "individuality". The driving enthusiast, want just that: driving enthusiasm. Clearly, as proven by the launch ads, the new M3/4 are aimed at the former. However, I would have gladly taken "individuality" over the competition in the form technical differentiation like DCT and light weight for example. |
Agreed, and there'll be sufficient aftermarket individual parts to keep the "hipster crowd" happy, so it's not really needed... unless BMW wants a bigger piece of the aftermarket pie.
If BMW is really concerned with the BMW enthusiast, they would make the car smaller, lighter, etc. CanAutM3 mentioned DCT; of the Manual, instead of throwing the enthusiasts a bone by putting a Manual in the cheapest version (only) of the G8x, why not do so in the Competition version and use more lighter materials to make the overall car lighter and more nimble? It would certainly draw more enthusiast attention then "individuality."
