I am very puzzled by the "night in M-town" video. Aside from the shady analogy of what these men are actually doing, they are doing all this for an M850i?! That's not even a real M car.

Seriously?

Johnny Tran was less convincing in this segment than in the movie.

So BMW Marketing department is hard at work trying to sell products to people that already own them.

ironically recent M cars are the worst sounding M's in all M's history..

P.S: my utopia is not an M town.. a place that i get a free new M every year..
