Exactly. I have owned 2 of them. Great to look at. Awful to drive.

They should just include the alarm clock as an option when ordering your M3. Like the coat hanger accessories and floor mats and stuff. Just tick the box, add to order, maybe customize it with M3 / M4 / M5 etc badging and add a few different sounds (different exhaust notes maybe).

All this charade, expenses and hype just for a Rim that already exists but now offered in a tacky SEMA Bumblebee 🐝 paint job? Doesn't really make sense.

But I'm assuming we all prefer the nuggets. This is a big and costly 💰 production just for drips 💧 of potential future information.

That's a good question. Maybe the millennials are into the grilles whilst us 40 somethings are on the fence.

Because BMW now thinks selling a car is like selling a new sneaker. At this rate we're going to see M cars with Nike Air seat cushions but no soul.

Robert gives a very good answer in this video. Skip to 5:13.

That's pretty much impossible in terms of the supply chain. Imagine how many wheels they'd have to stock at each dealership... unless they'd choose select dealers to sell these items - which means people would have to pay a lot for shipping across countries/continents.
I think it will be select dealers. You can't get Yeezys at every footlocker selling Adidas.

What they might do is make them available online only. That's how I've gotten my Yeezys - adidas website in the first minutes of the drop.

The LWT is a nice touch but its got the wrong wheels and maybe even missing the front splitter. Also interesting to see it in a European video, since it was only a US model.

///M cements itself as a fun marketing tool.

MTown should have been located in a paddock, not in downtown London/Paris/NYC. (BMW should bring some butter for those rims, because after a week in NY...they would be toast).

Wow, a lot of you guys must be a blast to be around at social events. Look, those wheels are certainly not for me at all, and I struggle to think what color your car must be for it to work. I'm not a fan of influencers or YouTubers either.

I for one, enjoyed seeing all these classic BMW's making an appearance in a video that is made in 2020. I really loved seeing a gorgeous E30 M3, a rare 1M, the ridiculous E9X M3 pickup truck and some interesting Easter eggs in 2 mins video.

Of course its a marketing tool, and not a documentary. Or do you guys just see the bad in everything.

P.S. I'm not a young kid either before you ask

That fedex delivery will be the mother of all drops when 4 20 inch rims land on your doorstep.

They'd better not drop the drop, then.

You do all realize the green on the new lightweight wheels is just paint don't you ? & that you'll likely be able to order them in a variety of colours.
I'd hate to see some of you modifying a car if you stumble at the idea of changing paint colour on a set of rims. 🙄
Awesome ad concept btw, nice to see fresh ideas from a manufacturer & especially appealing for the enthusiasts, very well done.
