BMW Marketing at it's worst
- Thread starter NoGuru

They basically took a sensitive point that would have passed by itself with time, then proceeded to punch that sensitive part in the balls for a few minutes. Great work.
A marketing strategy to appease the top who are obviously questioning the direction of the company.
New BMW: We can’t talk to your generation
Old BMW: You talk just fine when you need help with your loan payments.

It started with the Dame Edna headlights on the E60. Now the ass munch kidney grills.
I've probably owned more BMW's than most people here, which is just to say that I've lived through the evolution. My wife's 2013 MB GLK250 is miles beyond more well built and maintainable than my nearly same year N57 F10. A glorious car but what a nightmare as a DIY guy.
My first BMW - a 2002 (the model, not the year, youngsters) I restored WITHOUT A MANUAL and before the Internet. It was that logically well put together. And 1/3 of the car didn't break on the way apart or together, and the car was 25 years old when I restored it.
New vs. Old. Yep.

Yup. I like the older bmws. So easy to work on. I wrenched on many of the pre computer models. I like those MB's as well. I would love more than anything to have an old G wagon. Sucks they still cost an arm and a leg.
On another note I'm enjoying the e46 330cic we bought yesterday. Such a simple engine bay.... well by today's standards. I will have a good time wrenching on that.
I wonder if the same will be said about these new bmws in 20 years. I better start learning how to code better.
