Nope, I think we need to do more to protect the environment but I like lots of things about capitalism too.
lol at new religion, yup, very Fox News, you nearly had me going.
Think what you like but see the reaction of the greenites if you so much as question MMGW; if you don't think it has fanatical religious qualities, then they do have you going. Very BBC of you. lol at new religion, yup, very Fox News, you nearly had me going.

I find it perplexing how people can compare the pointlessness of the X6M to the pointlessness of a sports car. These people clearly don't understand what "pointless" means. Sports cars are quantifiably good to drive, with their low CofGs, well set up dampers, light weight and automotively atheletic abilities. In other words - they have a point, and that point is to cover ground quickly, be highly manouverable and entertain the driver. The X6M, however, is pointless because it would be more entertaining and faster if it were lighter, lower and smaller. There's nothing that the X6M does well - a 5 or 7 series is probably more comfortable, an M5 or M6 faster, and everything else in BMW's range is cheaper to run.
Think of it like a person - the reason someone would wish to deliberately train themselves to a high degree of physical fitness (like a Lotus Exige) is obvious - they're faster, stronger and generally better at moving around and playing sports; to be this way feels good. Obese people are obese by mistake - they don't intend to be fat, there's no point to it, they just decided that they preferred food to exercise. Fair enough - but it's pointless - i.e. it has no deliberate point. Same with the X6 - there's no deliberate reason why such a car should exist.
However, why shouldn't BMW produce a pointless car that sells? The answer is that they can produce what they like, provided it sells and meets legislation. What upsets and confuses me though is why they're producing an X6M but not a Z4M. If anyone can answer that, especially BMW, then I'm all ears!

Fair enough. I'm still somewhat perplexed why a convertible Z4M would be gay though!! It's a modern day AC Cobra; the sort of thing Steve McQueen might drive, and he's the least gay bloke in the history of our species. I can't quite see Steve in an X6 in the middle of Kensington RobM77 said:
