F40 & F44
Why does Bimmerpost ignore these models?
The F44 is at least offered in USA and as far as I'm aware is a global car? Jason SCOTT26 Is this intentional?

Seems like they are not the only ones ignoring the F40. I have noticed that there has been one standing at the local dealer for some time, but I still haven't seen any of them in traffic. I don't think it is selling well.

It is not intentional, that we have little to no coverage on these car models. But you guys are part of Bimmerpost.com too.... feel free to post a thread or writeup or YT video... and let me or Jason know... we would be pleased to feature it on BP. Dackel

My point was more about there not being a home for the F40 (it's actually the 1 series hatch) or F44 within Bimmerpost. I.e the 1 series section is still all set up for the F20 old shape and has no actual forum area for the new F40. Does that make sense?

Seriously no F40/F44 forum? F20 wasn't US either but still...?

i think the f40 m135i is going to have a very very tough time when the Golf 8 GTI and R drop there is nothing to differentiate it anymore, and frankly with regards to the aftermarket world there is 1000s more options for the MQB platform.
Then again the f40 is a new platform new market but are sales big enough that top end tuners would divert RnD away from the golf platform, that lets be frank 10 times the size of the f40 platform? as is my local dealer has said since launch they selling far less new 1 series especially the top end variant then they did with the m140i
