Now that's a proper video that doesn't make me wish I could get the time back that I just spent watching it. Unlike other recent BMW videos.

Ronnie posted this on IG. Can anyone confirm this is Toronto Red? I looks like it's missing the orange hue.

Well, that's the end of that! lol So many damn variations of a color. This is why photos are so hard to judge a color. Every photo of the same color tends to look different too!

It might not seem like a great match off-hand, but especially with kith showcasing an e30 m3 alongside a new custom build, it seems perfect for their niche.

Bmw gains by having these custom, retro themed m3/4 builds associated with a brand that attracts people willing to spend a lot on clothing that values casual retro style. Someone willing to spend 800 USD on a pair of track pants, might also be in the market for a car with an msrp at 100k+.

Many true car enthusiasts, who value driving dynamics above all else, might be be happy in a 2012 e90 m3 anyway. When they're ready to spend more, they'll buy a Porsche.

although i have no idea about "Hypebeast clothes" except for douche rocket Supreme.

I thought having the money to have BMW restore a beautiful E30 M3 & make a one-off M4 G80 for myself, whatever the hell you think about the design, would be fucking awesome.

Sorry to upset you one a Sat.

wow..........the ignorance on this board is next level

And this is more about Ronnie Feig being able to get custom one-off stuff (a flex, as stated earlier) as opposed to BMW pandering to the fashion crowd.

E30 Bimmers were a big part of NYC hip-hop culture in the 80's which is Ronnie's original point of reference. The fact that most people were quick to judge without even knowing what Kith was (let alone reading up on Ronnie Feig) "says all I need to know" as someone else put it...........SMH

It's just the regular haters who like to SPAM every thread in these forums with their hatred of any and all things and people associated with liking the new design. Doesn't matter what the thread is about they just want to piss all over it!

What does BMW get out of this collaboration - I honestly had no clue what KITH was and I grew up/live in NYC. Seems to be some sneaker dude.

Besides putting his name on M4 - what else is different?

Collab usually means 2 entities joining forces to produce a product. This is silly marketing that greatly helps Kith not so much BMW.

I think a lot of people have become out of touch with the crossover of streetwear fashion and high fashion, in that it's appealing to a younger generation now. People that buy Gucci, Louis Vuitton etc also buy Kith, Off-White, Palm Angles etc. these brands are expensive, they are bought by mostly millennials who have money and who may look to buy an M3. Just my opinion though as someone who owns those clothing brands and is buying an M3. I also plan to buy a few pieces when the clothes drop as some of them are absolute fire.

I think it does benefit Kith more than BMW from a product perspective, but it probably cost BMW nothing and (potentially) over 2 million people saw the new M4. I had friends send me the posts who don't know I am after an M3 because I like Kith's clothes and I had some other friends send me it because they know I'm after a new car and didn't know I liked Kith.

why does it matter?? If you don't know then that's your problem, but people act like they are supposed to get regular updates on what moves in certain cultures - you ain't that special.

This is a M3/4 forum.........let's focus on the car for a change.
