BMW **** me off
Discussion
Seriously, Audi has the R8, Merc has the SLS and prior SLR, Jag has the F-Type and XKR... BMW has a bunch of saloons and the M X5.... FFS, their engines are great and driving feel is great, why don't they make a R8 / SLS competitor? I own a BMW and have done for years, but I am seriously going off them

You're going off them because they don't make a particular type of car? Unless you're in the market for such a car, how on earth does that affect you?How odd.

You say that, but halo cars really do seem to work. People actually do buy diesel rep-mobiles on the basis of the supercars that carry the same badge. Strange but true. How odd.

Strange OP. What is it that's making you go off the brand?

Yet BMW seem to be getting by okay without a halo supercar.
They've got one, sort of. The i8. But yes BMW are doing very well at the moment. How long they can continue to live off their badge, remains to be seen. The fact that they're still producing pretty decent cars helps, of course.

They never replaced the 8 series, I for one would love to see it return and be the halo model with some serious petrol engines, including a highly tuned Twin Turbo V12 from the 760, but I'm just dreaming 
I think the i8 is supposed to fill this place though, the way of the world e.t.c
