Entry-level BMW for the playground market
BMW launched another new model this week, a freshened version of its Kids' Bike. Targeted at the 2 1/2 to 6 year-old BMW demographic, the bike has easily removable pedals so that kids learning to ride can keep their feet on the ground and use it as a push-bike. Once the child is comfortable with balancing and stopping the baby beemer, mom or dad can add the pedals.The blue and grey two-wheeler is certainly priced like a BMW - at $300. Available at bmw-online.com.

Maybe for $300 it has run-flats.
No word on its side-impact ratings yet?

Where'd they hide the airbags? Surely even yuppie kids want airbags.

What kind of parent decides to buy their kids one of these? There must be some uber yuppy soccer moms out there who get these things for their kids "because mommy has one"
