Don't worry there will be a full M version of a mini-van.

I don't care what form it's in. It's just ugly. Especially the headlight. it almost beats 1 series for the ugliest BMW.

Let's just say if I had to buy a minivan at some point in my life......


























I would buy a Honda Odyssey- and trick it out like that white dude rocker on the commercial

[elons335i]

Trade - no. I'd buy it as a second vehicle. I was actually looking to get something that's a minivan that is still kind of fun to drive.

Mazda5 is it in my opinion given as to the fact that you can pick one up with a manual trans.

Oh and it looks just like the 'all new' bmw

The reason why my next car is going to be a P-car, BMW sold out to the share holder.

What is up with the even number cars are 2 doors and odd number are 4 doors they just build whatever they want and don't care about the number minivans are dead anyways talk about getting into a disappearing market

This is why I think the World has gone Bat-Shit-Nuts.

I saw some of that at the autoshow.
The X6 was a 4 door.

[rbtamms]

No! Too small for a mini van.

[sirdaft1]

This pisses me off beyond measure. 1,000 respect points lost for BMW. I hope this line for BMW absolutely tanks.

[hassmaschine]

Terrible.

It's actually a 5-door, so technically 5 is still an odd number.

The weird thing is, there's a totally obscure market out there for exactly that.

But, I can at least see the appeal: boring minivan -> absurd engine = hilarious sleeper

The visual mods though....unless it's just for irony or something, I don't understand why.

Or M-Tech bumpers

I take it the board of directors at BMW is now full trust fund retards. First there was the X6, which to me was basically a lifted sedan on big wheels but I grew accustomed to it. Then BMW came out with a 2 series, I was ok with it too because it pretty much looks like a sleeker version of the E92. Then the retardation started to kick into high gear when they released a 4 series to supposedly replace the E92. The M235 looks way better than the 435 and it's cheaper so I don't know how they plan on making money. But of course BMW had to top themselves by then releasing a fucking 4 door 4 series because apparently the current F30 was just not doorsy enough. Of course they also went ahead and did the same shit with the 6 series. Now we got coupes made to look like sedans and sedans made to look like fucking suvs on big boy wheels. And now we can add a mini-van to this cluster fuck. Fuck you BMW, this shit has gotten out of hand now.

Wow man, thank goodness you don't run any sort of business...
Otherwise you wouldn't have the best selling product in the range, outselling competitors by a factor of 5 to 1.

Good stuff. Perhaps one day you may come to understand winning strategy. It's just like when we're young (which you are, be it age-wise or wisdom-wise) and think our parents don't know better, and only with age do we understand what they did and can be thankful to them. Just a parallel.

Dude I'm 36 and yes I understand the concept of trying to hit every angle of a market. Problem is when you start to over extended yourself there is the every growing possibility of quality suffering over quantity.

"when we're young (which you are, be it age-wise or wisdom-wise)"
I had you covered.

How do you figure? Quantity over quality? Based on different number plaques pasted to trunks?
You do realize BMW is a) a mainstream product and b) most of its platforms are shared throughout the model range?

[Aashenfox]

Having a best selling anything speaks not of the quality of the product, more of the quality of the marketing. I don't disagree with you Valter, jus sayin'

would it be safe to say the marketting advantage was the history and tradition of producing the "ultimate driving machine?" i think the company runs the risk of losing that reputation eventually but for now they must think its working. i dont understand some of the cars they ve come out with either particularly the GT models and the 4 door 4 series but I like the 6 series gran coupe a lot more than the 5 series. maybe they are onto something. I dunno but Porsche now has SUVs and a 4 door car, Jaguar is supposed to come out with an SUV - maybe BMW figures its better to start the trend than to try and catch up later.
