Anyway; instead of staying true to the brand legacy, they got into the crap looking i-BMW range, plug in-hybrids are almost nowhere, coupes are 4 door limos,....
Good that the SUVs sell well, or the company would be in 2 feet deep mud.
Look, putting aside the core brand ethos and all that, I have no problem with BMW making the move to diversify its product in substance and range provided they continue to give us gems like the M2 and i8.

In the end the market, ecological and political shifts will make extinct those who do not follow this path and I for one don't want to see BMW fade away like Kodak.
