Times are changing,
Everyone is trying to adjust to the new model including BMW.
Look at all the things they have to deal with now:
People trying to find more ways to NOT drive than to drive, self parking/driving cars, MANDATORY back up cameras etc
Mandated fuel economy targets or pay the fun penalty
Kids would rather have a smartphone than their license
Fundamental shift between everything being mechanical to everything being controlled by software.
Thats why I got the 335i instead of a BRZ, probably the last car that will mechanically fail on me.. I bet my next car (Hopefully a Tesla) will probably have its problems solved by rebooting it.. Scared of the day that happens, but gotta accept it when it does!
