I can forgive the Roundels on the C-pillars, the lipstick on the front bumper cover, the upside-down Kidneys, the line across the hood, etc.
But this right here, is unforgivable:
I know the reasons. I know other "premium" manufacturers do it. I know it's beating a dead horse. I know it'll sell just fine.
I know it's not going to change, but it needs to be said.
Just because it's been accepted as a "normal" trend for BMW doesn't make the UKL platform any less disrespectful to the ethos of BMW.
