It's a pathetic race to the bottom chasing Merc. Completely tasteless in my opinion. Who on earth are in the focus groups egging them on?

But without the lightup emblems, how else will people at night know that you drive a BMW or Mercedes and that you're superior to them (let's ignore the fact that they can't even see the driver at night anyways).
Oh god, just wait for the $3000 feature that illuminates the driver's face with a spotlight so the pleebs can witness greatness as it drives by... |

Obviously all the hate coming from this forum of enthusiasts is a tiny minority. The vast majority of the BMW buyers, who were feeling inadequate by their neighbors' MB star light, find this a godsend and an answer to their midlife crisis. /sarcasm off |

This would sell a lot anywhere east of Europe.
Including UAE, Qatar, Russia, China, Japan, India.

I don't think it's a big deal. Everybody is doing it.
Like others have said, this is driven a lot by the desires of middle eastern and asian markets.

I was too busy thinking about jokes that I missed the price: $640. Even more hilarious.
I'm guessing the X7 version will cost $1920 because...well, you know |

I am going to date myself but is BMW going for the KITT theme next. The bars will light up one at a time, left to right, and right to left, when you lock and unlock the car. Next up, the car will talk back at you when you say Hey BMW, I am stuck in the bathroom stall, come save me... SMH.
What is going on at BMW? Have they completely lost it and want to attract customers who want to show off instead of drive their machines. If so, they should change their slogan to "The Ultimate Attention Whore Machine". I am so done with them. No wonder I finally caved in and bought a 981 Boxster. I miss the pre 2012 BMWs, and in a few years will miss pre 2015 Porsche's. |

Nothing but junk, except the M2, has come out of BMW for the last 7 years. Everything is electric and void of any driving feeling. The same is happening at Porsche, starting with turbo 4 cylinders and iconic 911s powered by turbo 6 cylinder minuscule engines with body shapes stretched like limos.
Motoring enthusiast, hoard all the NA motors with 3 pedals attached to the floor boards of cars that require all 4 limbs to drive them. The driving era is over. |

it only works on smaller logos or grills I guess. I could see Audi lighted rings maybe or a Honda lighted H. But the whole grill? nope...not for me.

in my opinion, it is stupid and waste of money. First, BMW is coping Mercedes. Please don't, be original. Second, be creative and productive. lights in grill does nothing for the car. Maybe update the live cockpit so it's close or better than competitors. Miss the ability to change to the analog mode look for sportiness. Maybe bring back the full service coverage for 4/50 thousand miles that actually covered something.
