>older people have the most money>older people buy the most new cars>older people want buttons instead of touchscreens >BMW wants to move away from buttons to appeal to younger people i don't understand
>>29066065So you want them to be Harley Davidson?
>>29066065Because older people die off and older people are more likely to keep a car rather than buying a new one.
>>29066065BMW peaked in 2016 or thereabout. Their new design language requires a homosexual diagnosis to enjoy.
>>29066065Its perfect, things are more likely to go bad the more you rely on electronics. That means the dealership makes more money from repairs and Europeans are retarded so they have to make simple things like an oil change 600 dollars while they get smoked by American cars like the corvette. I would of gotten a M4 fully loaded but for 100k I may as well get the corvette
>>29066065Are the automakers right now in some kind of competition on who can make the ugliest steering wheel possible or something?
>>29066065The younger buyers are millennials
old people dont buy bmwZoomer shitskins buy bmw and they buy it only for the badge
>>29066065that is an offensively fuck-ugly wheel, my god
>>29066065Boomers are already dying off so manufacturers are attempting to entice more millenials (screen enjoyers) to buy new.
>be a lazy designer brow beaten by cost cutting bean counters>le screen does everything!>umm... actually young people just prefer this!
>>29066065>when they zig, we zagEvery other brand is moving away from touch-centric systems and going back to real buttons, dials, and levers because people hate this shit. European car brands are completely fucked. Imagine paying double over a Japanese or American car and getting a giant iPad glued to the dash and capacitive steering wheel buttons to do everything.
>>29066065>"Hanz! We need a reason for our button removal cost savings!">"Eh blame it on ze kids ya?"
I don't think BMW wants to make cars anymore. It sounds like they're purposefully accelerating their demise now with shit like this and their new cartoonishly ugly design language.
>>29067743Mercedes-Benz actually died after the Daimler merger.
BMW wants younger Chinese people, not your poverty tastes
>>29067779They literally said they want to be a tech company not a car companyhttps://www.bmwblog.com/2016/09/29/bmw-become-technology-company-industry-changes/

>>29067932>van HooydonkThe D*tch ruin everything.
Geely owns Mercedes-Benz.
>>29067940they hebben en serius probleem right now
>>29067935They should go back to pots and pans instead.
>>29067938>we give all pur money and jobs to China and in exchange they undermine out politics and crash our economyI don't think this alliance is working out for us
>>29066065
>>29066065Young people want buttons, they are forced to use touchscreens
>>29066065It has nothing to do with younger buyers, it's just cheaper. The millennials want touchscreens is marketing BS to cover for the cost cutting.
>>29066065They expect young people to be able to afford a new BMW? That's totally a mid-life car unless you come from money.
I like how they moved the dash to a screen on the windshield. Looks futuristic.
>>29066065there is no punishment for lying.Young people dont want this. BMW knows it. BMW chooses to lie anyways.We live in a golden age of fraud.
>>29066140no1 admits to it but what other explanation is there.
>>29067932This is a lie
Throw modern cars in a shredder! Use the scrap to make new parts for old cars!
>>29071090Looks like a 20yo Prius
>>29066065>>29071186So which is it going to be? Or will they just go bust regardless?
>>29072237buttons will return across all brands with next gen. for bmw next gen will be after 2030, they are just now starting the roll out of the touch only
>>290660652026 Lincoln navigator did this an young people are complaining about it
