This ad is more about diversity and inclusion than about the cars. The M Town clips from the past were much more enjoyable and there were top-notch women drivers too.

We'll have to disagree here. It's not just anecdotal evidence, it's from them directly, they're removing the feedback and other things to isolate the driver. So, I guess we could say this is an opinion as well, if that does or doesn't makes them no longer a driver's car.

Anyhow... they're selling boatloads, so good for them. But when you hear people complain, this is the thing that is being complained about.

Seems like a pretty even 50/50 split between males and females in the people shown and the voiceovers. Just like how the entire population on the planet splits out.

Welcome to the future, sorry the girls like your cars now too. My wife and I once owned an E60 M5 and an E64 M6 Convertible at the same time. And I know plenty of women who own M cars. Wake up.

Things I liked: the videography in general of the cars.

Thing I hated the most: the voices in the voiceovers especially the one at 45 seconds. Sounded like a weak person trying to sound strong, and not what I'd associate with ///M. Really irritated me at some primal level.

The biggest disappointment is there is just some cultist wannabe-sounding statements being said vs. the deep passion and emotion reflected in the ///M town ads. I want to share what the milestone video could have been with others but not this.

Edit: the more I watch it, the more I think it's trash. It seems to targeted at aspirational poseurs rather than people who are truly passionate about ///M cars. They should fire whoever came up with this and give more business to the people behind the ///M Town ads.

Nothing makes me want to not be part of this tribe more than whatever that mess was that I just watched. I'll RSVP solid no to this party and just drive my F87.
