Already sold or not - this is a the car BMW need unless they want to be called a old man's brand.

So, when the car is announced it is already "sold out".

Point? No point! A question mark!

However, this doesn't make this car less of a statement. Following your approach, cars like the Enzo Ferrari or Alfa 8C Competizione wouldn't do anything for their brands either. That's clearly not the case.

Furthermore, there are some hints that there might be more production 'cycles' for this car. Let's start with 25, already sold cars, but they might do another production of 25 cars if there's enough demand...

Best regards,

But the BMW way is that all cars are sporty and this type of cars are not needed.

What, Ferraris are not 'sporty'?

All this car will do is provide internet whinger BMW lovers with forum bragging rights.

But if its not available to them for purchase, instead of shutting up they will start sending hate mail to the Company.
