It's equivalent to having a social media person endorse you.

It's about selling cars not 0 to 60

Every thing fast now
0 60 is also about selling cars Aa useless metric to me.

How a car drives and how it performs on track is what matters to me. BMW: the ultimate DRIVING machine... ??

And specially for a $40,000 premium and 911 territory money.

Take the seats, put it in a frozen gray G80 and get rid of me quick.

Kith's collabs have gotten so boring. Even the BMW collection, which actually has some solid pieces, feels unedited — like no idea got thrown out, or like Ronnie only spent a few hours on it.

Which I guess is what will happen when you try to do a new one of these types of things every month on top of 4 other drops.

Wow BMW needs to fire everyone from the design team to whoever in the office thought a Kith collab would be a good idea. This is cringeworthy.

0 60 is also about selling cars

I have been passionate about cars and more particularly how they drive, that is what matters to me. BMW: the ultimate DRIVING machine...
I think Tesla put 0 to 60 to bed.

BMW has moved away from the ultimate driving machine.

The market has changed. The car enthusiast is a dying breed.

I see my future...

M3 owners of this gen will be parked next to the old muscle cars at some parking lot some beautiful Sunday morning.

Then an EV with 900 HP 1000 ft lbs will whisper by saying; oh man that G80 is a classic

Look at his E30 build, it was elegant, well-done, low key, no huge decals on the roof, no ///Kith badge, it was tastefully done.

You take this G80 Kith and remove the decal, remove the ///Kith badge and the color, interior etc it's very nice.

This is tasteful:

$40k more? Absurd. But I'd bet BMW made a condition that the one thing they cannot do is change the front! LOL

I'm in my mid-late 20s and hate this Collab with a passion, If you remove every Kith logo, it just looks like a normal BMW, so what is the point of KITH collab? What is their design phiolosphy? Right now it just looks like they use M colors and put their name everywhere, thats so lazy and boring, BMW should know better.

There are way better brands to collab with smh

The car hasn't even hit the streets yet, however this hasn't stopped the onslaught of variants soon to flood the market. The F8X platform was a precursor to this and it will be clear that the continued focus is away from what made this brand great. Racing heritage and Motorsport derived cars that have now become associated with lifestyle products for the masses. When is the planned KUWTK edition planned for released? Shame on you BMW. Not only have you diluted your product line but your insistence on pushing an already botched design of an icon with the aid of a lifestyle brand is in my opinion quite tasteless.

Sorry, but BMW has lost my interest in their direction.

If they're going to tease this car in red at least offer red?!?! I also thought this was going to be a one off not a limited production. Can't wait to see how many "hype beast" purchase this.

I just cant say this with a straight face and not think of Mike Tyson.

Hopefully the roof is a decal and not like under the clear on the DTM

A quick look on pumas website will show you that there's a line of BMW M streetwear now.....the car is literally made for posers
Puma have BMW, Mercedes and Ferrari-branded footgear for more than 5 years. I used to have several pairs and they were so nice that other BMW drivers kept asking for where I got them so they can get a pair. This is no poser joke, this marketing works.

No offense but you're in the minority. Roughly less than 5% of buyers track their car. The majority unfortunately care about 0-60 instead of how it drives and handles. BMW is just going with the times...which sucks but that's life.
