They (BMW) aren't making cars for us anymore they are making cars for the future us and our children who are into the looks and styles that the new cars come with. I take my hat off to BMW for always leading the charge for innovation and technology as well as breathtaking designs no matter what our personal opinion of them are.

That's all well and good except the "future us" are still……. us, and we all (generally) think that new BMW's look shite, I for one cannot justify buying one and our children A) aren't old enough to buy one, B) can't afford one and C) don't care about cars in the same way we do.
Compared with e46, e90, F36 these were beautiful evolutionary cars with a design ethos and a theme or themes that aided how those cars DROVE, BMWs were beautiful AND great to drive. Such a shame |
That's understandable and also personal opinion just like 99% of everything really is nothing but personal opinion and I respect yours, but I meant "future us" as in car guys in the future not next year. BMW is a brand that will be here well after your children's great-grandchildren leaves this Earth so I'm sure they know what they are doing and have been doing it with airplanes well before our grandparents were born.The best thing about watching someone do something is the sitting back and watching part.
