You probably could have figured out which dude in the barbershop owned. The guy getting lines cut into his eyebrows😂

There a guy with a Lambo Spyder at my gym. It’s like a 2007. I’m not a lambo guy at all, just cheesy. He is drives it everyday. Spyders are like the Boxter for Porsche, affordable. You got to see this guy. Totally jacked on roids.

Now, they are leading the luxury EV segment after Tesla and 50% of their sales are projected to be from EV by EOY 2025.

Their greater focus on reducing CO2 footprints in their vehicles is an amped priority and, while the introduction of these new EVs are the talk of the town, the CEO made it clear that an electrified-only focus is NOT BMWs focus and a range of engines, including ICE, are still in production. We still have choices.

I do agree that some will no longer be loyal; however, these new vehicles will usher in a new generation of loyalists and may entice some who were once loyalists and jumped ship some time ago to return. I'm an early adopter, thus my Apline White M550i will not be retired but moved to the right side of the garage to make way for my Alpine White i5 M60.
They aren't reducing a CO2 "footprint" in reality though (as if CO2 were even bad for the environment...). The EV supply chain is just as dirty as any combustion vehicle, and power production even more so.

The whole thing is a farce.

Touchè. Yes, all these industries are dirty (muy sucio); however, I'm still buying a Bimmer.
