    As long as I can still say true and unkind things about Fiats here, I guess I can live with that.

    I agree that the bashing has gotten way out of line from a few, ONLY because we fellow members are fully aware of how some folks feel about the F56........enough is enough, we know how you feel, move on.

    And the childish signatures only add to an already tarnished episode on M/A.

    Honestly, I've never hated the R&F56s. They made me love the gen1s more. I'll shut up now....Hope Dave will, too.:biggrin5:

    If you think there isnt some schmuck from BMW/MINI sitting behind a keyboard with the job of searching forums and social media for product research and future development you are wrong.
    Yeah, I could see toning it down a bit, but they still need to see what we like and dont like, what needs changed, and what we want to see stay and develop further.
    If the only thing we are allowed to say is "The F56 is perfect" they will continue adding more of what we dont like!
    Its a catch 22... Have some angry readers here, or loose the brand we fell in love with long ago.

    If they dont know how bad they F56'ed up from the people who kept the brand going for the last 12 years, we will be forgotten about. :(

    My car is only 3 years old, and the reason I didn't upgrade to the F56 is because I don't like it. There is no one to blame but BMW for keeping me out of any of their new products. It's not like they haven't done the same thing to their own models too. The 135i was a fun, fast, loud, fantastic car. The "M235i" is fast, but dull. No soul, character, or excitement. BMW has become the new Lexus - just less reliable and more expensive - but with the same level of joy behind the wheel. MINI had one of the highest return buyers. Many are on their second or third MINI, but I know at the current rate, I'll never be apart of the stat. It's for the numerous reasons touched on in numerous other posts about the new product, that will be keeping me out of anything BMW or MINI, and I'll be moving over to a VW GTI/Golf R for my next vehicle.

    ^^^Sucks, doesn't it? The older I get, the further out of reach new cars get. 25 years ago, I thought I'd be tooling around in a 911 by now. :frown5:

    Just we are crystal clear.

    F56 fanboys are still ok right ?
    R56 and R53 bashing is still allowed?
