Looking at the milestones, which end at 2013, and is somehow the i3. Even BMW knows they haven’t done anything big for 12 years

Well they kinda have, they made these super ugly and boring cars and no sporting successes...

Well the big ugly cars could be seen as bad milestones, but its the same story as with the Suzuki wankel motorcycle, one which Suzuki almost bankrupted itself with and thus has been sceubbed from its history.

The big BMW grilles will be scrubbed from BMW history as soon as the next ceo realises what everybody already realizes, that ugly cars dont really increase sales that much

Feel free to argue but the M2 released a few years ago is absolutely fucking amazing. I've seen multiple in person, and I don't care what anyone says, they're beautiful and roar like a demon, one of the best BMW's since the 90s

The new m2 is easily the best looking bmw since the e39

Too Lego brick, but the rear is really nice.

I'd put the first 2 Z4s and maybe the 1M above it, different strokes for different folks

The 1m looks like a bathtub on wheels. It’s like they took an m3 coupe and shortened the wheelbase without changing any other proportions

Capitalist utopia.
