Anyone notice that the BMW sites are the most screwed sites on the web? They're obviously spending Way too much overhead on their web site design...to the point that information is useless. Its mostly two tone or black and white. Its stark and cold and obfuscated and...useless. Lousy fotos cannot be blown up, videos are cranky and quirky. Out of the last 100 major sites I've been to, this one sucks the most.

Fire them all, I say! Hire someone who will give me the good stuff, and leave out the BS fluff.

Here's an example: Try to make out how the enduro wheels look in comparison to the off road standard wheels...you won't with the images on this site:

Maybe I'm just too easy, but I don't really see a problem.

Just because BMW won an award for their website does not mean the website is good/quality or the best. It is all perspective and what other websites were considered.

I must agree with Pete. I have found over the last few years the BMW website lacking in many key areas and in some areas, useless.

The core principles of a website appear to elude the BMW website team

"Funny, BMW has an award for their website."


The site I referred to is in German and a very edgy one designed to produce LUST in the customer...it did, but had no valid information. YMMV.
