I like the concept, but they've got it wrong again, as you'd expect from BMW. It's far, far too complicated and tries to be too clever.

The new motto should come from Colin Chapman: add lightness. Simpler, simpler, simpler. NZ$60,000 for a city car? Every single person at BMW is on hallucinogenic drugs. Every thing BMW come out with makes me despise even more every MINI and BMW. They just don't get it.

On the plus side, they've given light to a good idea which Suzuki or Tata might be able to make work.
