They're in the automotive business--not us. We're just a bunch of testesterone-filled dudes switching between car and porn sites. I'm sure BMW knows what they're doing. They have been for a long time.

They are an oxymoron. They look more like ego barges. BMW needs to stay investing on sports cars. Who the hell wants performance SUVs? They are an oxymoron. They look more like ego barges.

And im an audi guy.

HEHE....yeah makes me chuckle Seriously I like BMW, but lest be honest the ONLY great car they build is the 3 Series. The 3 is the car every sport sedan has to measure up to, I can admit that but lets be serious for a second. We need to stop giving the brand all of these accolades for building ONE bad ass ride.

But killing the M1 and pouring more R&D money into SUV's isn't very bright.

We do want a 1 series M, although we probably won't see that becuase it will perform better than the M3. No problem about the M3 CSL cancellation, enthusiasts can squeak 150lbs out of the car by A/C and rear seat delete and some other creative efforts. We don’t want M SUV’s.
