Yup, that's gonna be a yikes from me dog.
BMW is controlled by the Grun Party and SD of Germany. This is a joke. They have essentially killed the 'motorsport' of M by literally killing any Motorsport racing BMW is involved in. Except Formula e of course. The series that gives away tickets for free.
Not to mention bmw engines have essentially been the same since 2009. Even the current 40i is a modded diesel from years ago. Interiors are all cheap plastic and the stereos are all cheap Chinese garbage that murder your music before it even hits the speakers.
All this fund electrics.
Anyone who paid full price for an F chassis BMW got fleeced.
When my M5 blows up my next car will be Audi/Porsche. Sorry, BMWs new corporate leadership is creating an unpractical, ugly, boring, appliance to fulfill the dreams of the Gruns of Germany. Atleast VAG is going down kicking and screaming. This car is a total meme and the M brand is now a souless sticker for third world money to show off on Instagram. Which racing program was this 'M next' related too again? The board says no to Le Mans, Indy, and F1 all in the same year they launch a halo car? Yeah, Audi has had better interiors for years now and RS dynamics are excellent.

All that plus the still disappointing interiors. The quality is (according to almost every reviewer) better than those in Mercedes and Audis, but love them or hate them, you have to admit that Audi and Mercedes interior have something to say. BMW's are bland and still looking 20 years old with nothing to say.
And remember those silver buttons on the steering wheel of the old Z4? That was BMW wanting to use flappy paddles but not wanting to accept it has to copy everyone else. In the end those sucked and BMW adopted the normal flappies. Now we get those red buttons in the M cars because BMW doesnt want to properly copy the Manettino like Porsche, Audi and Merc did. So your serious M5 interior has two ghastly red buttons that make it look like a clown car (unless you fitted it with red leather i guess). And that new console in the M8 is still another attempt at cool interface to change the car's settings without a manettino. It still doesnt make the cut. Build a prettier steering wheel and give it manettino.
And dont get me started on the shitty digital dials. Jesus Christ a Mercedes barge has digital dials that look like sporty clocks but the "ultimate driving machine" has Playstation graphics.
What kept me so far was the sportiness and outside design (i own a 4 series and love it), but the future of BMW is looking bleak. I'll see if i can go for a Porsche. Their new interiors specifically are to die for. That 992 interior... my god!
