Now it seems like everyday the company steps into the role of "evil company".
From subpar products marketed, to rebadging exercises ad nauseum, to pedaling racist afd ideology and now to tricking people to sign up for subscription services.
I understand why they want to extract every last penny they can, it's what most companies do. But why anyone would consider them a good company or an enthusiast friendly company is beyond me. That day is long gone. This just fits into the pattern of decisions we have seen now for the last few years.
When BMW removed the cf driveshaft from the m3 we were somehow told it's actually a benefit and when that didn't fly then it was that BMW was forced to by regulations. This is the MO of their truly unprofessional and inept marketing/pr department.
Right now this is being spun as a "benefit" which will fall flat here, then we will be told how some external force made them do it

Be sure to let's us know if the CF driveshaft fits next to the new gas dpf. |
High level companies such as Porsche and Exxon engineer around issues. Accepting lazy solutions gives you a lazy product.
