Re: the m135i - You can save the hyperbole. It's quite clear there is a market for a hatch. VW gets it. This post says everything you need to know about BMW's delusional vision and the direction of the brand. |

Active Tourer is the right concept at the right time for growth. VW gets it because it is assembled in Mexico. Not Germany. When you add up all production , export costs etc it is not feasible for a company like BMW to chase 5 sales. One thing I must defend is that BMW are in no way delusional. There are one of a few car companies that can embrace change and progress yet completely stand still on their philosophy. A BMW will always showcase it philosophy but in an ever changing customer environment it has to be competitive and rely on its attributes and strengths to deliver a car that has more than the sum of its parts. And rely less on Patriotism.

The hybrid three cylinder 4wd grand tourer with 7 seats could be the perfect daily driver for me. Efficient, 4wd, cool sound (three cylinders sounds great), lots of space but relatively compact.
After getting the i3 im reatively hooked on e-drive for city traffic. Works perfect . |

These have started to begin to arrive at BMW for personnel use and final evaluation in the real world.
Looking very good in Black Sapphire. And that three cylinder is a gem of an engine. We will see the Gran Tourer in a couple of short months.
