A lot of people these days can't seem to distinguish between brand/party/national loyalty and reality. Why let facts get in the way when you can thump your chest about something and feel good because you're part of a group?

There are some things BMW does extraordinarily well and there are some places where they need to do some serious catching-up. As fans and consumers of the brand it is our right and, maybe even responsibility, to stay objective and point out the areas of improvement for everybody's benefit.

We're all here because we're fans of BMW cars. This doesn't mean we should check our brains and our ability for independent thought at the door.
