BMW: "Mobility needs"? WTF
I recently paid off the M3 and I just got an email from BMWFS with a very brief survey. Upon finishing it, I get a screen with this message:
Thank you for your time and feedback. We look forward to assisting you regarding your mobility needs in the future. That's a lame thing to say. It feels like something an electric scooter company should say. |

ha yep. The word "mobility" doesn't have the best connotations especially when you're still selling high performance cars.

Quote:
I didn't want to have an outstanding loan on the M3 and the GTI. They were about the same amount, so we basically traded a ~2.5 year loan at 1.9% for a 5 year loan at 0.9% for about half the monthly payment. |
