The following pic, is the exact reason I no longer (after 35 years) consider myself a BMW enthusiast.


BMW no longer has a heartbeat, or pulse. This Active Tourer exemplifies BMW's new credo... Executive income, over focused vehicles. (ie: Toss BMW historical DNA out, & just make cars that say BMW...)



So... congrats to BMW, for becoming the new General Motors of the world, making tons & tons of models, that have no heart...

Because these dealers know this car is pointless.


Honestly, what is an "Active Tourer" ..?
It sound like a misguided translation, that led to a car designed by committee, instead of an actual need, or focus.

Nobody is going to buy an Active Tourer, when they can buy something more Manly, like a Ford Escape for much less. Plus, they won't be getting laughed at, for buying a BMW (In America) that looks like an econo-box, bitch-car.

It looks like a cheap Korean car, trying to be a BMW.... so embarrassed for BMW.
