With the draconian pollution and mileage requirements those days are going to be numbered. And most people wont buy a V8 when gas is creeping up to $5 here, never mind Europe. the bottom line is the enthusiast doesnt pay the bills. BMW provides a platform for the enthusiast to spend a few dollars to get a lot more BHP should they choose. A 3 series can be bought with a 4 cyl and four doors for middle management types. And you can get a two door or vert screamer should you choose. Its not going down. Its staying viable in a global marketplace.
