Throwing a bone to a dog attitude will not reclaim lost customers; showcase of passion and dedication is what the brand needs. BMW has become a follower instead of a segment leader in performance and technology, with model portfolio clearly benchmarking that of AMG while lacking their mechanical substance. Where are halo models with latest hybrid technology, aerodynamics, carbon composite components and DCT?

Enthusiasts will treat a follower brand as such.
Enjoy that C63 with a 4 cylinder plug-in hybrid then.

As far as I'm concerned, BMW has very little competition when it comes to the G8x M2/3/4 when you look at what's out there (at this price range).
