BMW should be very careful b/c at this point they've diluted the M brand already way too much by putting an M on everything, including those stupid SAVs. X5M was cool but then X6M, X4M, X3M, X7M, etc. Then you got M240, M340, M540, M740, M850, etc. They also chickened out of building a i8M which would have made it a true halo car. What a missed opportunity! The i8M would have been a great segue into the future of electric ///M. Instead we got nothing. Nice job Harald Kruger. You fucked the whole brand in 4 years time.
Since the G8X cars are too controversial already just based on styling, if they get poor reviews on launch for any reason, then I have a feeling it will take the whole M division down. Might as well go beg Albert Biermann to come back and rebuild it with 3 or 4 true M models. |
I'm in total agreement about diluting the M brand. Back in the day the M car was a halo car. Now if you own a BMW without an M on it, you're the select few.
