Ultimately, most disagree because of how much branding and how the branding was applied - the group of people who this caters to loves the flash of branding - this individual could be wearing Supreme, Anti Social Club, Off White and Balanciaga all at one time, there's nothing subtle about what they're wearing, same with this car. |

Not something I would buy into, but I have no hatred to those who would. Now if BMW offered the embossing of my initials into the seats as an option rather than someone else's then hummm ...?
The BMW brand is not part of my identity and I have no feeling of being cheated on by BMW in our relationship as I have always known that such relationship is not exclusive and that they were never driven to, nor have they ever promised to, please just me! Thus no need for me to be offended nor angry and no need for me to be hateful towards different. To those who just can't accept different, I will break it to you, BMW is a business. It is, has, and always will be, about increasing markets and making more money. Sales will guide BMW marketing decisions and not you or me. Last edited by Stephen5242; 10-25-2020 at 09:40 PM.. |

Bimmerpost is one of the primarily voices BMW should listen to. And they are here, they browse, read and participate on this forum. If you think telling BMW they shouldn't put a massive gaudy decal on the roof of their special edition models is "telling BMW what to do" then you are the one that's delusional. It's simple called "product feedback". But again, people should vote with their wallets. The M3 becoming the racer boy vehicle of choice will just cause the loyal fan base to move somewhere else.

i mean are ppl gonna be happier if they partnered with the cliche watch brands or some luxury designers like what maserati does?
Just like the grille they are trying something different to , and it's 150 unit limited run that's already sold out. It got the social media buzz and 14 pages of discussion on our enthusiast forum, goal achieved. I don't think the actual buying demographics is changing much but it's about reaching out to more people, and if they see fit to spend the $$ to do the marketing then all power to them.

This is not a specialized forum. It's one of the largest BMW communities in the US. The opinion of the members here it's extremely valuable and important. I'll be shocked if the combined purchasing power from Bimmerpost members is not in excess of $1B. It'll be illogical for BMW to ignore the opinion of loyal enthusiasts with such buying power.

I really wanted to like this car..........Sorry BMW ya messed up.
Now this collaboration just makes it even "cheesier". Terrible. Who on earth is KITH????...........LOL.
The M3 competition has some hope.....looks nicer than the M4. X3 - X7 = GREAT job! but this is overkill and making the BMW look like a Lexus. Well, hopefully someone comes out with the kit to make it look a little nicer. Seems like it will be selling a lot like the 4 cylinder Porsche Cayman was selling........

What did we sell, 35,000 F80s? How come there's only maybe 1,000 (or far less) of us that are squawking all day long? We are the most dedicated of the breed, sure. But non forum money goes a lot further than forum money. It's not a "specialized forum," correct. BUt the people on here are a special breed, that's for sure.
