  I think you misunderstand the kind of person the brand attracts

    Hardly. I love BMW cars in terms of performance and other things. Never once thought ohh no I want heated seats, steering wheel or whatever. Just a nice car to drive. Yeh other cars are nice to drive but good luck finding rwd that’s not a supercar.

    Your statement would probably apply better to new Range Rovers though.

      I was just taking the piss. I don’t know anything about cars; I just take the train

  Because other cars have blinkers, and you buy a BMW because you are convinced you are buying a car without a turn signal

    It’s interesting that people are surprised at these seatwarmers when they’ve only been offering indicators as aftermarket upgrades for decades and yet no BMW owner chose to buy them.

  BMW owns MINI, and MINIs are special. I’m never gonna subscribe to heated seats or anything like that, but I’m also never gonna own a full sized vehicle if I can help it, and MINI makes some of the best compact cars on the market.

    They’re no longer that compact.

      They’re still among the smallest cars in production. It’s an amusing narrative to say “MINIs are big now!” but it really doesn’t reflect reality. IIRC, the newest Cooper models are actually ever so slightly smaller than the last few.
