True.

Plus… I have owned a few Toyotas and while the service is vastly better than BMW’s, I still do not trust a Toyota dealership to be 100% competent in maintaining what is essentially a BMW. Also, the mentality of most of the local Toyota dealerships (4) is eerie smilar to that of the Big three dealerships.

I do wonder how that works - are they really going to train Toyota techs on how to work on a bmw platform? Plus all the special tools and equipment you’d need. Seems like that woukd be expensive and inefficient. I bet anything more complicated than an oil change ends up with the car having to be sent to a bmw dealer

Hell yeah! I am not a huge fan of the current ones on the G42, but I could live with them. I hope the taillights see a change as well because they are horrible.

BMW M3 Touring teaser confirms large curved display https://www.bmwblog.com/2022/01/23/b...urved-display/

I think the writing is on the wall for the G87.
