The leadership at BMW and Toyota aren't stupid. I work for a subsidiary of Toyota (we make 90% of their electronics)...this is good news. Toyota know what it does well (quality) and so does BMW (driving experience). It is completely possible that BMW did this to improve quality Of their cars as they seeing as how their cars are becoming very technologically advanced and electronics-based (and Japanese have the best electronics). Toyota is doing the same as they know their cars are very vanilla and boring ( heck a lot of our top brass drive BMWs)
