Its like organic products at supermarket. You pay extra for them but did you you farmers can still label products organic if they use pesticides etc for emergencies? Its bmw markting BS at its best.

+1 Especially when competitors like Audi have reduction in weight as part as ongoing improvement. Somehow for BMW this is suppose to be a selling point to differentiate from others. MB S-Class's new interior is a real improvement trying to 1 up competitors. BMW new 7 series just looks like an extended LCI of current model. Whoopee they are using some CF like i3. The new model is lacking both exterior and interior. Improvements on iDrive or weight are expected to stay competitive. Oh wait.. they have some chrome interior trim that is different from the pass (please).
