This honestly has to be BMW's best marketing campaign ever

This entire year has been a masterclass in unintended consequences...
In other news, that link that stein_325i posted... https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a3...onfirmed-2021/ That looks more BMW than BMW lol. Sure, its a render, but it looks awesome! |

I hope that one day people will realize how stupid social media really is. It's just a toxic marketing/targeting tool that lets any fool have a voice.
In the example above, BMW asked a dumb question and it got dumb answers |

Why people put their lives online is beyond me. Watching BMW backtrack from their ridiculous posts lately has been very entertaining. |

completely agree and also don't use fb, twitter or insta. I think many so called friendships are ending at an exponential rate. and when folks combine some alcohol or other substances with their views, things get out of control quickly. It is more valuable to me to have a few dependable friends and they know how to reach me. |

Now I 100% prefer using the paddles... but I do still initiate every gear change manually. For me, choosing *when* to shift is the important factor, and no fully auto box does a good enough job of that yet, regardless of how 'fast' they are. ...and that's probably my personal deal-breaker for G8x. (I care more about the transmission than the aesthetics) Last edited by pbar; 12-13-2020 at 09:42 PM.. |

More often than not. They also subjectively assume it’s got emasculating properties coupled with a mysteriously invisible torque converter. These Neolithic and primitive assertions guised with jest are equaled in ignorance when a slower sports car is better because a foot depresses a piece of metal whilst the hand moves a rod. Quite the impressive display of IQ and moreover real barometer of testosterone...

I wasn’t saying people don’t, I just thought it was humorous that the video seemed to be trying to make it look like it was a manual. |
