BMW is truly way ahead of its European competitors. First hydrogen cars, now robots building their new cars. I can't wait for 33% cheaper BMWs
But when exactly did BMW surpass its main competitors Mercedes and VW (Porsche, Audi)? It feels like it was more equal just 15 years ago

hey that anon makes a good point aren't cars mostly made by big robot arms and conveyer belts already? what are the humanoid robots for? maintaining the big industrial robots? but then who does maintenance on the humanoid robots? none of this makes sense seems more like a marketing stunt to me

It's crazy how BMW can just buy completely dead and trash brands like Mini and Rolls Royce and turn them around into status symbols. Only BMW has this power. You just know if VW had done the same, they would have been bankrupt already.

New Minis are considered extremely reliable and are cool looking.

Minis have used B-series engines for over a decade. They are fine. The prince engines were dogshit.
The service advisor at the dealership told me a story of a customer calling in about the genie light. They were told to turn off the car and call a tow truck. Half an hour later the customer called again and said they drove it home. Needless to say they needed a new engine.

Well 15 years ago was 2011, when bmws had a reasonable base engine (n52) and two steaming piles of shit in the n63 and n54. I’m not sure about Audi or Mercedes, but they must have also had equally problematic engines. Since then, bmw has made two engines that are reliable enough (b46/58) while the competition has not. That’s one big reason.
