don't see why anyone's surprised.
-bmw now offers almost as many SUV's as they do cars
-there is an MX5 and an MX6
-they are now resorting to turbo's to keep up in the horsepower wars
-the 3 series is the size of an e39 5 series, and weighs upwards of 3500 lbs.
-the 1 series, supposed to be "small/performance oriented" is 3400lbs and does not offer that much performance advantage over a 3 series.
-their entire line looks japanese, from the 1 series all the way up to the 7
-interiors have been completely cheapened, e46 to e90 was just night and day
i saw it coming from a mile away. i'll buy an e30, e36, or e46 m3. for luxury i'd go with an e39 5 series. other than that i'll never touch another bmw product again. they are just not an enthusiast car anymore.. but they've done whats needed to survive in the US market.
