I can appreciate your point - I can see why some might see this car as "childish", but then again that can go for any myriad of cars that we as enthusiasts appreciate while someone else may not "get it" or see as a childish waste of money.

If you are spending this type of money on a special ultra limited edition 2022 M4 preorder, I think there's a good chance this is not your only car and you may also own a more understated option for your VC meetings, but as another guy mentioned the Lime scooter and Allbirds are also a good choice and you can just park this around the block.

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
First, worth noting that my age comment was tongue in cheek and I've met plenty of people in their 20s who mentally were pushing 60.

I think this entire Kith project has been a lot more than just this preorder car. I didn't expect BMW to entirely redesign the physical aspects of the car when they chose to collaborate with Kith, so I can't say I'm disappointed in the same way you are. Besides, the G82 is already a pretty aggressive design, what else were you looking for?

If you roll up to a VC meeting in anything but a Lime scooter and Allbirds then the deal is off.

Kith M Logos? WTF? I like the colors, unique designer "lifestyle" trim, but no need to have ANY M Logos attached to a designers name regardless if 1% or 99% know who or what the hell Kith is.

Maybe a Kith name plate by the shifter or somewhere stamped ONCE in the interior, but the whole fricken roof and worse yet, converting the rear M Badge to MKith to go along with 24 Kith badges around the car?

Ridiculous.

Like we say in the car business. "There's an ass for every seat" I love the seat color combinations, the roof ehhh bit overboard but it's cool.

This is not what BMW is about, and especially not what the M division represents. Branding with a lifestyle brand? It's like BMW is trying to appeal to the sneaker head demographic. That being said I really think the F series might of been the last great representation of M with the M2 CS. Glad I have one coming

I can't even. So confused by the rollout of the G8X. What was the word again...?

Everyone says "marketing marketing marketing". But who really benefits more here? Personally I this this is better for kith than bmw. Imagine the sales pitch...

"$109k for a billboard on wheels".

Can't wait for the first board member in a $200 hoodie to post pics of theirs.

Cmon, which one of you is getting one of these?

110k for nonsense. This only exists because someone petty enough out there will buy this monstrosity for all the wrong reasons. Nice to see the car in black though, works well for the g80/g82.

Yeah, pretty easy to read between the lines on what they were trying to say there.

I don’t even like clothing with designer names or logos. I’ve never understood why so many people are so obsessed with screaming about how much they just overpaid for some sweatshop made rag. There is no freak’n way I would pay a penny for some asswipe designer’s name all over my brand new car.
