I don't think that is the issue here. What we're seeing is a trend that BMW enthusiasts have been complaining about for years. Having an ///M logo on a vehicle used to feel special. It doesn't feel as special anymore. We all care about exclusivity to some degree when it comes to buying high end vehicles (... otherwise you'd go buy an entry level Kia or Corolla and call it a day, so don't sit here and act like you don't care at all about how your choice in vehicles is perceived by others. |
I disagree.
The people who might see me in my M2C have no idea who I am, have absolutely no influence on my life, and I'm certain could care less about me as the driver of the M2C. They may admire the car, but their perceptions of me will never be known, nor do I care.
We can't buy a 405 bhp Kia or Toyota ... well maybe a Lexus ... right?
Did you buy your M2 for yourself, or to impress others?
