With a badge?

Badge should be renamed "Lolrepairs" instead of Luxury. Fuck BMW. I see so many broken down on the side of the road, lol. I'd never own one because I'd go bankrupt as soon as the warranty runs out.

No different than Mercedes selling the same car with a sporty front end and a more luxurious front end. BMW is moving towards more of a luxury brand and less of a sports brand every year.

Wasn't that always the gist? Sporty but luxurious cars?

That was the gist with a higher priority on sporty, but now it is making luxurious cars with a little sporty.

Don't get me started on the 6 series or lolverts. I have never understood why someone would want that huge of a coupe, but as shown, some people do and so BMW makes them.

Think of the conversations here about BRZ vs FRS badges. Same thing, different demographic!

Personally, we prefer the old BMWs.
