Lol I had to google it as well, I must be getting old.
I like to think I'm reasonably on top of shit, but I had to do a web search too... Even then it took a minute to understand the business model! Perhaps we're proving the value for the partnership... Now we're aware of the company where 24 hours ago we weren't.

What color is on the e30? The way they're together makes me think the M4C is the same classic red. Kith would earn extra props if that turns out to be the case.

Great brand when they don't plaster "KITH" on everything. But I'm a "less is more" type of guy when it comes to logos on my clothing. Having some knowledge of the brand though, at least enough to justify my disappointment in how this got presented. They usually put extensive detail in the photos, releases, brand/style ambassador... the details.



Verdict: Would I own it? F*** No
Would I take a picture of it? Sure

Makes sense but if it’s not Toronto red it sure was a waste to pay for that custom red...

Not really hating but its a bit dumb that bmw is doing "collaborations" with fashion designers and changing the wording on the roundel to reflect the name of the brand...............

Ok, it's definitely Toronto Red lol.

I'm still choosing between Toronto red and frozen portimao and I'm going to the dealership this weekend to see a TR X4M they have on the lot. I've definitely seen them on the road but didn't pay close enough attention.

I will co-sign that also. Its human nature to judge people based on their clothing, ethnicity and religion. I knew nothing of the brand but respect the guy for his accomplishments. Heck, I wish I had the cheese to have my name branded on the seats and to have the M3 in my garage right now.

Something tells me you're of an older demographic (you putting the word collaborations in quotation marks is a giveaway as that is a commonly used term among young people when describing these exact scenarios) that isn't swayed by this type of marketing. BMW is trying to attract new buyers. Our opinions are inconsequential to this type of effort.

I have sent this link to 3 people that are very involved in streetwear, fashion, etc. All 3 of them literally sh*t the bed with excitement when they saw this. Not one is a BMW guy, let alone a car guy. This is very smart marketing on BMW M's part.

Aaaah...Tissues?

At the risk of I can observe that despite our likes and dislikes, members who don't like the new design don't diss and insult personally those who do. You, however...

You should dig deeper and look a little closer. You will see a lot of the original hateful and belligerent posts I have responded to have been removed. I don't diss others, I call them out for their belligerent, disrespectful or negative comments to and about others. As I did with your original comment, which was definitely a diss to those in NY.

Nice try though, in your attempt to project the disrespectfulness and negativity onto me.

I'm done now.

I'd bet that car isn't in his garage, or even owned by Kith. BMW likely hired Kith to help design a car FOR THEM to provide content in a marketing campaign.
