Why BMW SUVs have very low base seats in US

Latest comment: 9 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

BMW cars comes under luxury segment but when we see the seats it’s like iron plates to sit, there is no luxury and feel uncomfortable while sitting for long drives. Sees BMW designers still in 1900’s old. Especially in US people will travel for long but because of seats no one take their vehicles out . It’s time to rethink of their all seats and make them with more cushion and luxury. ~2025-41055-23 (talk) 10:45, 16 December 2025 (UTC)Reply

I feel in the shareholders part, the "public" thing was just thrown in, it does not really fit, not even being very correct. However, what should it be changed to? Trofim100 (talk) 12:07, 30 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
