BMW is racist towards fatties

aerostar · 02-08-2018, 07:06 PM

Look at all the no-fun people taking the "racist" part seriously.

But seriously, though. At least it was diet. That way I won't get fat but I'll just get cancer instead.

Use this, and the passenger seat works as a cup holder.

parajax · 02-08-2018, 07:44 PM

I guess it was designed by Michael Bloomberg.

Wait, BMW's have a cup holder?
Since when?
Or better, Why?

Ahoydolphin1 · 02-08-2018, 09:19 PM

....cup holder!...wow!!....what option is that and how much is it?....no seriously!!!

nyalpine90 · 02-09-2018, 07:55 AM

U drive with both hands on steering wheel?

Be thankful you even have cup holder in your BMW, my marketing professor in business school consulted with BMW when they were trying to expand their market share in the US and he said the Germans did not understand the whole cup holder idea, they could not understand why someone would drive a high performance car and have drink in their hand.

This was also during the time Minivans were putting 20 cup holders.

My professor told them the reason they needed them is so people did not drive with a drink in their hands. They obviously understood that logic.

My E63 M6 had the cupholder added as a concession.

Yup this is well known. The saddest part is that BMW has flipped a 180 on their cupholder stance and it reflects in the way their cars drive now...like shyt.

Fat gluttonous Americans ruined it for everyone.

Have owned 18 BMWs since 1977 and you have no idea what you are talking about. My M4 is, by far, the best BMW that I have owned and how it drives is no "like shyt". You have a right to your opinion, but doesn't make it fact.

I disagree. I thought both my F80 and my F82 were a step backwards for BMW. So glad to be back in an E92.

@ the OP. Maybe you should drive an Aerostar

No, its you who has no idea what you're talking about. It's not even up for debate anymore that the F platform BMWs drive like Lexuses compared to BMWs of yesteryear. It's a well known fact by now. Your M4 is an exception to the rule.

BMW now caters to the badge chasers and tech nerds, not driving enthusiasts. Only a select few of their products are worth a look anymore.

WTF BMW?

Market research told them big gulp drinkers preferred DCT. You're an outlier

I was really hoping for a moment that the "Part Number" was an old girlfriends phone number or something

I have a cup holder that I bought for my Zed cause the pop out ones from the dash just scare me with anything of substance... or when getting in/out of the vehicle.

I do agree with the current BMWs being much less of a driver car... it is the main reason I still have my Zed and have not gotten anything newer from BMW.

Maestro · 02-09-2018, 05:11 PM

My wife just hates the fact the E90 have both cup holder on her side and taking a bend hot or hitting a bump means she get both drinks splashing on here lap.
