When BMW (you can include Audi and Mercedes as well) start tailoring most of their vehicles to enthusiast we'll see a lot of happy people on car forums and a lot happy magazine editors. However, shortly after we would see reports of the worst sales decrease in history. BMW, Audi, and Mercedes would be looking for a Gov bailout because the masses aren't buying and do not want the same thing enthusiast want.
Do you have an example of this? In fact it seems what we've seen is that when car companies start to build cars for their enthusiast faction they see more success. Look at Ford, GM and Chrysler.

Enthusiasts when pleased will be your biggest advertisement.
