You don't appreciate the seismic shift in BMW's corporate culture and priorities.
If you think resources are unlimited for companies even like BMW you are dreaming.
BMW has one of the highest R&D expenditures and we love them for it and yet they remain profitable, a fine balance. Now they are cutting R&D by rationalizing the number of models and individual components like engines.
BMW's focus, as a smart person can infer by the decisions they make, is to make hideously big trucks with a big motor, AMG / Audi model. They gave up on the CSLs and even a new Z4M. Can you honest look at the 5 series PAV and get excited??
The last thing you want to do is piss off the customer base, particularly in economically challenging times.
I hope your next response is better than "don't buy it", don't come back with product based arguments....come back and argue company strategy...... The company is dying from within.
