R&T- It's Time to Face the Facts: We Aren't BMW's Target Market Anymore

[Och]

Yep, out of all the non-super limited production BMWs right now, pretty much just the GR Supra and the 2 series can qualify as the "ultimate driving machines" that BMW is used to be known for, the rest are ugly looking, gimmick loaded land yachts on wheels.

Beauty and the beast.

While there are some good BMWs [...]

For me the "good" ones one sale are:

• BMW M5 Sedan F90
• BMW M340d Touring G20
• Toyota GR Supra J29 (with B58 of course)

The FWD X1 is a great car if you don't expect it to be a traditional BMW. It offers a lot of bang for the buck. It'd take it over the NX every day of the week.

Was a big fan of this...it came on the market when Supra and the others from Japan were increasing in price and had decreasing sales; and then, this comes out under $40K in 1994 (not the LW though)...

The X1/2 interior quality is so bad there's no way I'd take it over NX.

You just showed what bmw does well. Making the shallow sale.

But those are different segments… The issue is that we’ve the UX to go against the X1/2… And I can’t understand how Lexus is selling a hybrid in 2023 that still impacts the boot space as it does…

Between a X1/2 or a UX, I would take the BMW, it’s so much more practical.

As long as you have deep enough pockets for one, fine, but Gran Coupes start at more than $85K....that's some serious money.

It would be the M8 Competition lol….

Please buy a G20 M340i now before this thing replaces it in 3 years...

We will still have G50 "M350" alongside the electric 3er

Why? This is the best BMW ever.

People that buy iXs have invalid opinions.

literally shaking rn

I'm praying the G50 is an extensive facelift like the S650 Mustang, RZ34, 3.5IS, etc, otherwise it's going to get massive overhangs like the G60 5er and G70 7er.

As soon as I saw that concept, I thought, "MKZ / Zephyr" and now I can't unsee it after putting the pics together
