"uncalled for manufacturing delays"? How do YOU know what is uncalled for? Do YOU want to buy a car that hasn't been fully sorted out just to get it on the market? Or do you want a car that is as problem free as they can get? I'll take the latter thank you very much.
As far as the color choices go, there has be NOTHING official as far as color choices go. It's anybody's guess as to what the final color choices will be. Wait for a final announcement on the car and the dealers get ordering guides.
On a whole different issue, I've heard Audi is definitely going to put a V8 for their A4. I don't know what this means but I'm afraid Audi (and other car makers) are really "going after" BMW.
Almost all articles you read where cars are in the 3 series or 5 series price range and type see BMW as the gold standard and we are not even talking about the M3 and M5. Not something for BMW to rest its laurels on, but the did bump the bar up with the E46. Competition is good.
It seems like other car makers are able and willing to design and engineer new models or performance related options very quickly whereas BMW muddles along hoping when the sun comes up the next day their competition will be gone! BMW doesn't seem to be able to react to what the buying public wants and what their competition is willing to offer. I'm afraid they have lost their focus, edge, desire and possibly the means to keep up.
I highly disagree. However, without Rover BMW can focus better on its core competencies.
Could BMW's Motorsport tradition be history? I hope not but it's obvious they have their problems.
Whatever.
