I don't think anyone hates her, the hate is on BMW lol! She's good at what she does, get attention and influence though social media, she's a automotive social media star not a journalist. Most of the reviews at this point have been social media icons, not journalists. Social media whilst it's good it dilutes the real automotive journalist. I'm looking forward to a Tiff or Chris review in the near future (Chris Harris initial review on the exterior was slightly harsh and hilarious).

No they are not. Kith has zero part in BMW ///M history. They are just using the "image" of ///M history.

Gathering two dozen clean ///M cars and rewarding their proud owners by revealing a special edition M4 and getting their cars featured in such video doesn't count I guess

///M used to stand for Motorsport, not show and shine.

I'm not trying to argue with you, we have different perspectives...
///M cars have always been the high-performance motorsport-inspired version of the series they are based on (M1 does not count). They still are today, but times changed and so did the cars. ///M still stands for Motorsport, but doesn't mean BMW is going to sell street legal race cars. Even the E30 M3 which is arguably one of the purest ///M cars with the best Motorsport legacy came to the US standard with power windows, sunroof & other features in the 80s. Those were optional on the non-M 3-series at the time. It would've been more "Motorsport" if the M3 didn't come with those features but BMW knows market expectations. It's the same with every generation, the standard series grows & changes, the corresponding M car grows & changes. For the enthusiast this appears to be a departure from what the ///M brand stands for, but it's just a natural evolution. We will soon have electric ///M cars.

We see Porsche and MB being more performance and driver focused than ever, BMW is moving in a different direction. I have nothing against electric cars. When they are ready to suit my needs, I will have one in my driveway. If ///M makes the best one for me, then that's what I'll have .

I'd say it is more of a break than an evolution.
The common thread of all M3(4) since the inception with the E30 was to provide a dual use car, a practical daily driver and track toy. While the recipe to achieve this has evolved throughout the years, that basic philosophy behind the design and marketing of the M3/4 has remained constant. Folks debated over the recipe, but the intent remained. The F8X was an evolution, as it was able to expand on both extremes, being the best daily driver and most track ready M3/4 of all generation. Quite a feat IMO. However, it is pretty clear that they have broken away from that common thread in the marketing of G8X. We'll have to wait and see how the car drives on track, but but from a design/engineering standpoint, weight went up significantly, they moved away from DCT and downgraded on other aspects such as the rear brakes, which also indicates a departure from that original thread.

I've read now quiet a few posts from you and no offense to you but some points i'd like to say. - We get it, you hate the new M3/M4. - You don't miss a chance on any thread to speak bad about that generation but you didn't even set a feet in that car - BMW is going new ways. So what? It's their philosophy, like it or not! I appreciate their courage to go complete new ways regarding the design! compared with porsche or audi which look since 50 yrs the same! - you wan't a daily driver and track ability? you get it with the M3/M4, at least regarding the numbers! you have absoloutely no idea what the engineers thought when creating the cars and i'm pretty damn sure they know much more about how to build a car than you. it's heavier, so what? are you hunting lap times? are you running a Championship with your car? or do you just want to have fun with it? who tells you you won't have it with that car? you didn't try! - you change now your M4 with a Porsche whatever number. Good for you! you have the money to spend the double amount of an M3, happy for you. Now go to the Porsche Forum and be happy there and stop flaming here, it's annoying. There are people here who like that car and like to discuss about it, and it's also okay to point sometimes out the negative aspects but your post's are really getting tiring and boring...Jesus every manufactor has stuff which people may like or don't. You make the impression to be that kind of guy who want's to keep tradition in every aspect at every cost no matter on what topic. Screw evolution, right? oh and p.s. at least in this segment they are still offering MT. Thank you BMW ! |
